Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow
detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when
caked detergent is present.
Is the pump or spray arm clogged by Iabels from bottles and cans? If you wash
bottles and cans in your dishwasher, check for labels clogging the pump or spray
arm.
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home
water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher
fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.
Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Never use soap or laundry detergents. Use
recommended dishwasher detergents only.
SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES
•
Spotting and filming on dishes
Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditioning
the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming.
Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled. Always use a high-temp option. If your water
hardness is 13 grains or above, it is strongly recommended that you install
a home water softener. If you do not wish to drink softened water, have the
softener installed onto your hot water supply.
Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be
120ºF (49ºC) as it enters the dishwasher.
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use recommended
dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Never
Use less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store
detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra
detergent.
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home
water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi ( 138 to 828 kpa) for proper dishwasher
fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.
NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse. This
procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid and using it too
often could damage your dishwasher.
1. Put 2 cups ( 500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring
cup on the bottom rack.
2. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle. Do not use
detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
