PROBLEM SOLVING
Problem Reason Solution
Pitting of steel
items Prolonged contact with salty or high
acidic foods or with undissolved or highly
concentrated detergent. Remove spots with silver polish. Rewash. Wash soon after use,
or pre-wash items if they will not be washed right away. Do not
overload cutlery basket. Avoid spilling or pouring detergent
directly on flatware. Make sure dispenser cup is properly
closed.
Decorations
being erased on
kitchenware Items unsuitable for dishwasher.
Items being
scratched Salt leakage. Check lid on dispenser is tight.
High salt content on plate. Perform wash cycle sooner.
Scratches on
glassware. A water or chemical reaction with some
glassware. Usually caused by some
combination of soft or softened water
and alkaline washing solutions reacting
with the glassware. Can be accelerated
by poor rinsing, overloading and
excessive temperature. The condition may not always be preventable. To minimise the
possibility of etching, use minimum amount of detergent.
Use of the appropriate programme.
Use of a rinse aid may also help.
Detergent cakes
in detergent
dispenser. If using a powder detergent, there may be
dampness in the dispenser. Make sure dispenser is dry before adding powder detergent.
Start dishwasher immediately.
If using a gel detergent, the detergent
may be left in dispenser too long before
using. Start dishwasher soon after adding gel detergent. Do not
allow detergent to dry out in the dispenser.
Faulty cover. Do not overfill. Cover should close tightly. Check cover for fit.
Improper loading. Do not place large items in front part of dishwasher.
Old detergent. Use detergent within one or two months of purchase. To
assure freshness, buy detergent as needed and no more than
one or two at a time. Store in a cool, dry place.
Tablet not dissolving. Select longer wash programme.
Detergent
remains in
the detergent
compartment. Detergent was added when the detergent
compartment was wet. Make sure the detergent compartment is dry before use.
Chipping and
breakage of
dishes / glasses. Improper loading. Load with care following the instructions for use. Place
glassware so it does not touch the other dishes. Remove from
dishwasher carefully.
Odour in
dishwasher. Dishes washed only every two or three
days. Use the pre-wash cycle at least once a day until a load
accumulates.
A dirty filter system may contribute to a
bad odour. Clean filter system.
Using low temperature programmes
constantly.
Run a service wash programme.
