Electrolux Built-In Dishwasher FOOD SOILS LEFT ON DISHES, DISHES NOT DRY

Solutions to Common Problems

FOOD SOILS LEFT ON DISHES

• Check incoming water temperature. (See Getting Started, page 8.) It should

be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 20.)

• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.

• Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid nesting items.

• Home water pressure may be too low—should be 20 to 120 pounds per

square inch (psi).

• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to

install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 18.)

• Use fresh detergent.

• Make sure items are not blocking any of the spray arms, preventing them

from rotating.

DISHES NOT DRY

• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.

• Increase the amount of rinse aid (See Rinse Aid, page 19).

• Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120°F (49°C).

• Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.

• Plastic items may need to be towel dried. More water collects on plastic

items when cycle is complete because they do not get as hot as glass or

metal items.

• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water.
