PROBLEM

 

POSSIBLE CAUSE

 

 

 

SPOTS AND

 

Spotting can be caused by all these things:

FILMING ON

 

Extremely hard water. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent section).

GLASSES AND

 

 

 

FLATWARE

 

c Low inlet water temperature. (See How to Test Water Temperature section).

 

 

Overloading the dishwasher.

 

 

Improper loading. (See Loading section).

 

 

Old or damp powder detergent.

 

 

Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See How to Choose and Use

 

 

Detergent section).

 

 

Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See How to Use a Rinse Agent section).

 

 

Too little detergent. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent section).

 

 

Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try several brands of

 

 

detergents to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher

 

 

detergent may help reduce filming.

 

 

To remove stubborn spots and film from glassware:

 

 

1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.

 

 

2. Do not add detergent.

 

 

3. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 18 to 22 minutes. The dishwasher will

 

 

now be in the main wash.

 

 

4. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of

 

 

the dishwasher.

 

 

5. Close the door and allow to complete the cycle.

 

 

If vinegar rinse doesn’t work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric

 

 

acid crystals instead of vinegar. (Most drugstores carry citric acid crystals. If yours

 

 

doesn’t, call GE Factory Service).

 

 

Using a vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse more than twice a month? Consider a home

 

 

water sofiener.

 

 

 

CLOUDINESS ON

 

If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn’t work, the cloudiness is “etching,”

GLASSWARE

 

The film cannot be removed.

 

 

It can be prevented: Use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in

 

 

the shortest cycle that will get them clean.

 

 

Water temperature entering dishwasher exceeds 150°F.

 

 

 

CHIPPING OF CH~A

 

Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china

 

 

are secure and can’t jar loose. (See Loading section). Make sure tall glasses and

 

 

stemware will clear the top of the tub when you push the rack into the dishwasher.

 

 

Always use the top rack for delicate items.
