Solutions to Common Problems
DISHWARE STAINED OR DISCOLORED
• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a
solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse
thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A water filter installed
in-line with your water supply will correct this problem.
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other
items. Load properly.
• Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse cycle or rinse by
hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause
pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.
ETCHING
• Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that
cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check
Detergent Usage Guide, page 18.)
• Lower the water temperature.
DETERGENT LEFT IN DISPENSER CUP
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Make sure the upper rack is firmly attached to the nozzle on the back of the
tub before closing the door.
