Possible Causes

Blocked spray arm not directing water at dispenser, Dispenser lid not opening fully, Low water temperature on short cycles, Overloaded or incorrectly loaded upper rack

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing spray arms if necessary.

  • Check dispenser lid: Ensure nothing in the upper rack blocks the dispenser lid from opening fully.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove and clean spray arms to ensure strong water jets reach the dispenser area.
  • Program choice: Use a program suitable for tablets (usually longer and hotter). Tablets may not fully dissolve in very short or low-temperature cycles.
  • Try powder or gel: As a test, use powder or gel detergent in the dispenser to see if performance improves.
