Possible Causes
Low or empty rinse aid, Hard water with no softening, Excessive detergent use, Clogged spray arms reducing rinse effectiveness
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool before working inside.
- Check rinse aid: Open the rinse aid dispenser and refill if low. Adjust the dispenser setting to a higher level for very hard water.
- Use proper detergent: Use a high-quality detergent formulated for dishwashers. Avoid using too much; follow Summit's recommended dosage.
- Clean spray arms: Remove and clean the spray arms to ensure strong rinse action.
- Descale interior: Run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of dishwasher-safe descaling solution placed in the upper rack to remove mineral buildup from the tub and components.
