Solutions to Common Problems 13

Dishes not clean—Check pages 4 to 8 for information on correct wash cycle, proper loading, water temperature, water pressure, hard water, amount of detergent, old and ineffective detergent, and dish placement. To maximize wash performance clean the filter of all large food particles after each wash. To ensure that you clean the filter correctly refer to page 12.

Dishes not drying can be greatly improved by using a rinse aid and hot water. Hot water raises temperature of dishes to speed up drying. When loading, invert cups and bowls so that water can run off. Avoid nesting of articles. If dishes are not completely dry at end of cycle (which may occur when COOL DRY setting is used), open door, roll out racks, and allow dishes to air dry.

Spotting—Spots form when hard water droplets evaporate leaving a deposit. Low phosphate detergents increase the problem in hard water. To prevent, use hot water and a detergent with a higher level of phosphates (preferably 8.7% or higher), or use more of a low phosphate detergent. Be sure to use a rinse aid. If water is very hard, it may be necessary to install a water softener. Load glasses and plates so they have minimum contact with racks and pins. Avoid overloading. Spotting will occur where dishes and glasses touch.

Cloudy films and streaking are usually caused by a combination of hard water and an insufficient amount of detergent. Low phosphate detergents are also a factor. To correct, increase amount of detergent, check water temperature and always use a rinse aid. If water is very hard, it may be necessary to install a water softener.

Etched film on glassware is caused by using too much detergent in soft or softened water. This film cannot be removed. It is more likely to occur on soft leaded glass or expensive crystal. An early warning of this condition is a cloudy iridescent appearance on glasses. To prevent, be sure dishwasher is getting a full fill of water. Water should reach base of heating element. If water level is low, have water pressure checked by a plumber. Use less detergent and make sure water temperature is not higher than 150°F (66°C). Underload to assure thorough rinsing. Use the COOL DRY Option.

Chipped dishes and glasses can result from rough handling and improper loading. Do not put glasses in direct contact with other items. Place glasses securely against pins.

Crazing of older china and pottery

happens when items are subjected to very hot water. Once crazing (fine cracks in the glaze) appears, it cannot be removed. Do not machine wash again or condition may worsen.

Coffee and tea stains can occur when water contains traces of iron. To avoid stains, rinse cups out immediately after use. Increase amount of detergent and use a rinse aid. Water temperature should be approximately 140°F (60°C). If problem persists, install a water softener with an iron removal unit. To remove stains, hand wash cups in solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and a quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

Gray-black stains on dishes are caused by manganese in water supply. To correct, install a manganese filtering system into house water supply.

Reddish-brown stains on dishes, glasses and interior are caused by iron in water. To avoid iron stain, increase detergent, use water heated to approximately 140°F (60°C) and a rinse aid. It may be necessary to install a water softener with an iron removal unit. To improve appearance, use a commercial rust and lime scale remover.

Plastic items can lose their shape due to high temperatures of automatic dishwashing. Read labels before washing. Place washable items in top rack away from heating element.

Discoloration of plasticware by some foods, such as tomato sauce, can stain plasticware. If stained, soak item in solution of 1 tablespoon dishwasher detergent and a quart of hot water or in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and a quart (1 L) of hot water.

Fading of patterns and metallic trim is due to many washings, detergent and hot water. Most of today’s china is dishwasher safe. Antique, handpainted china, and handpainted pottery should be washed by hand.
