Possible Causes

Insufficient rinse aid dosing, Low final rinse temperature, Poor room ventilation, Incorrect rack loading blocking drainage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Surfaces and water may be hot; use care when inspecting immediately after a cycle.

  • Check rinse aid level and dosing: Ensure the rinse aid container is not empty and that the pump is primed. Increase dosing slightly if spotting and wetness persist, following Jackson and chemical supplier guidelines.
  • Verify final rinse temperature: Measure the final rinse temperature at the manifold. It should meet Jackson’s spec (often 180°F for high-temp sanitizing). If low, troubleshoot booster heater issues.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the area above the dishwasher has adequate ventilation or hood exhaust to remove steam.
  • Review rack loading: Train staff to load racks so that items are angled for drainage and not nested, which traps water.

After adjustments, run several racks and evaluate drying performance before making further changes.
