Spots and stains on dishes

Spotting and filming on dishes

Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your 
water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse 
aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid 
dispenser filled.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing 
results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the 
dishwasher. Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency 
Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use 
recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the 
“Detergent Dispenser” section. Detergent must be fresh to be 
effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/
or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper 
dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 
120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have 
questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified 
plumber. 

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white 
vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use 
only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage 
your dishwasher.

1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving 

dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items.

2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or 

dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack.

3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle 

using an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Do not 
use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-
colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain 
types of glassware. This is usually caused by some 
combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing 
solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, 
and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to avoid the 
problem, except by hand washing. 

To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but 
not less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and 
underload the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica 
film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do 
not use heated drying.

White spots on cookware with nonstick finish

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware 
seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the 
dishwasher.

Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes 
using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the 
covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use 
detergent. Follow with a Normal wash cycle with detergent. If 
treatment is needed more often than every other month, the 
installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

Black or gray marks on dishes

Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing? 
Disposable aluminum items can break down in the 
dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items. 
Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed 
in the dishwasher? Stains gradually fade over time. Regular 
use of heated drying will slow fading. Stains will not affect 
dishwasher performance. Regular use of a rinse cycle and an 
air-dry or energy-saving dry option will reduce the likelihood 
of staining.

Dishes do not dry completely

Dishes are not dry

Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water 
drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the “Dishwasher 
Loading” section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.

Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the “Rinse Aid 
Dispenser” section.

Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a 
heated drying option for dryer dishes.

Dishes are damaged during a cycle

Chipping of dishes

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and 
glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from 
washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and 
out slowly. 

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of 
china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic 
dishwashing. Wash by hand.

Noises

Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds

A hard object has entered the wash module (on some 
models). When the object is ground up, the sound should 
stop. If the noise persists after a complete cycle, call for 
service.
