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 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 detergent

 

 

to find one that gives the best results for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent may help

 

 

reduce filming.

 

 

 

 

 

YELLOW OR

Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stain by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup

 

BROWN FILM

bleach and 3 cups warm water.

 

 

An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware can be caused by iron deposits

 

 

in water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this

 

 

problem. Your water softener company can tell you about the filter.
