Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
• Check water hardness. For extremely
hard water, it may be necessary to install
a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
• Water temperature may be low. Avoid
extremely low or high temperatures. (See
Factors Aff ecting Performance).
• Avoid overloading and improper loading.
(See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is
ineff ective.
• Make sure rinse aid dispenser is fi lled.
• Check to see that proper amount of
detergent is being used for cycle selected.
(See Detergent Dispenser).
• Home water pressure may be too low-it
should be 20 to 120 pounds per square
inch (psi).
Dishware Chipped
• Load with care and do not overload. (See
Preparing and Loading Dishes).
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and
not over pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don't
jar loose when moving racks in and out.
Move racks in and out slowly.
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will
clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
• Fine antique china and crystal should be
hand-washed.
Dishwasher Leaks
• Use only fresh detergent designed
for automatic dishwashers. Measure
detergent carefully. Try a diff erent brand.
Dishware Stained or Discolored
• Tea and coff ee can stain cups. Remove
the stains by hand washing in a solution
of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart
(1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow
or brown fi lm. A special fi lter installed
in the water supply line will correct this
problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black
marks when they rub against other items.
Load Properly.
• Certain high acid foods can cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics
if allowed to sit for a long period. Use
the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if
not operating dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils
in silverware basket can cause pitting of
the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing
stainelss steel and silver.
Etching
• Using too much detergent especially in
soft or softened water causes damage
that looks like a fi lm but cannot be
removed.
