What To Do
Use less detergent if you have soft water and select a
shortest cycle to wash the glassware and to get them clean.
Using a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach and 3 cups warm water
to remove the stains by hand.
WARNING
You have to wait for 20 minutes after a cycle to let the heating
elements cool down before cleaning the interior; otherwise,
burns will happen.
Call a water softener company for a special filter.
To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with dishwasher
detergent and wear rubber gloves. Never use any other cleaner
than dishwasher detergent for the risk of foaming or suds.
Re-loading the dishes properly.
There is some steam coming through the vent by the door
latch during drying and water draining.
Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate marks.
A small amount of clean water around the outlet on
the tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water
seal lubricated.
Make sure the kitchen sink is draining well.
If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run it clear.
Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid dispenser.
Spilled rinse aid could cause oversudsing and lead
to overflowing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Make sure the dishwasher is level.
