Foam in Machine

Excessive foam in Dishwasher - Hand-wash detergent or spilled rinse aid

Foam appearing in the Dishwasher is typically caused by using hand-wash detergent, which contains no antifoam, or by accidentally spilling rinse aid into the machine. Both can negatively impact washing performance.

Glass Smear / Rainbow

Glassware has milk-like smear or rainbow appearance - Excessive rinse aid or soft water

A milky or iridescent film on glassware that cannot be wiped off by hand indicates either too much rinse aid being used or corrosion due to very soft water. This is often referred to as glass etching.

Lime Traces / Misty Dishes

Lime traces or misty appearance on dishes - Rinse aid, water hardness, or salt issues

A white, misty film or lime traces on dishes and glassware indicates an issue with rinse aid, water hardness settings, or proper use of Dishwasher salt. It suggests the water softening system may not be functioning optimally.

Low Salt Warning

Low Salt Warning indicator - Add softening salt

The low salt indicator on the Dishwasher's screen illuminates. This means the softening salt level in the reservoir is low and needs to be refilled for optimal water softening.

The rinse aid indicator light on the display will illuminate to show that there is not enough rinse aid in the Dishwasher's reservoir. You need to refill the rinse aid reservoir.

Rust/Discoloration on Dishes

Rust or discoloration on dishes - Salt, grounding, or unsuitable items

Rust spots, discoloration, or general surface deterioration on metal items can be caused by salt leakage, improper electrical grounding, or washing items unsuitable for Dishwashers, such as low-quality metals.

S not displayed (Sanitize)

S not displayed after Sanitize cycle - Sanitization cycle was incomplete or water not hot enough

The Dishwasher normally displays an "S" on the display at the end of a successful sanitization cycle. If "S" is not displayed, it means the cycle was interrupted or the water did not reach the required temperature for sanitization.

Salt Indicator Lit

Salt indicator (S) is lit - Salt reservoir needs refilling or level is low

The Salt indicator on the display illuminates when there is not an adequate amount of softening salt in the Dishwasher reservoir. If your water hardness is low (below 22 gpg) and the indicator is still lit, it might mean the water hardness level adjustment is set incorrectly, or salt is not being consumed.
