PROBLEM SOLUTION
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED
DISHWARE (AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
NOTES:
• Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
• Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for
5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of
detergent and rinse aid. See ("HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER
INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE]") in "Troubleshooting." If it does not come clear, it is due
to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the Hi Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
• Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all
silverware and metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass
measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option
turned off. No detergent is needed.
ETCHING (PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS)
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 (49°C).
LEAKING WATER
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.
TUB IS DISCOLORED 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.
