PROBLEM
ETCHING (PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS)
LEAKING WATER
TUB IS DISCOLORED
SOLUTION
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of:
water that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing.
Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is
permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the
water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming
water temperature is below 120°F (49ºC).
Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only
detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try
another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid
overfilling.
NOTES:
High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
