How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the machine if foam threatens to overflow. Avoid mixing chemicals.

  • Verify detergent type: Ensure only low-foam commercial dishwasher detergent approved by Meiko is used. Replace any unsuitable product.
  • Reduce dosing: Decrease detergent and rinse aid dosing settings gradually until foaming stops while maintaining cleaning performance.
  • Rinse contaminated items: Pre-rinse dishes to remove hand soap or other foaming agents before loading.
  • Flush the tank: Drain the machine and refill with fresh water to remove excess foam and chemicals.
