How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for this issue.

  • Refill rinse aid: Fill the Sharp rinse aid dispenser and adjust the dosage to a higher setting if spotting persists.
  • Check salt level: On models with a water softener, open the salt cap in the tub floor and refill with dishwasher salt. Wipe away any spilled salt.
  • Adjust softener setting: Set the water hardness level in the dishwasher menu according to your local water hardness.
  • Optimize detergent: Use the recommended amount of detergent; too much can leave residue.
