  • Dishes are removed too soon.
  • Wrong program has been selected.
  • Short program with lower washing temperature.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Increase the amount of rinse-aid or refill the rinse-aid dispenser if the indicator light is on.

  2. 2

    Do not empty your Dishwasher immediately after washing; open the door slightly to allow steam to escape.

  3. 3

    Wait until the dishes are barely warm to the touch before unloading, typically 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Select a program with a longer washing time, as short programs may have lower drying performance.
