Possible cause
This may be caused by the
detergent.
The glasses are not
dishwasher-proof. The
surfaces are affected.
The wash temperature of
the selected programme
was too low.
The bleaching effect of the
detergent used is too low.
Natural dyes e.g. from
carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup may be the cause.
The amount of detergent
used or its bleaching effect
was not sufficient to deal
with natural dyes.
The affected items are not
corrosion resistant.
A programme was not run
after dishwasher salt was
added. Traces of salt have
got into the wash cycle.
The salt reservoir cap has
not been screwed on
correctly.
