Pause the wash cycle and rearrange the dishes.
Will not harm your dishwasher’s performance. Contact your plumber.
See “Loading the Dishwasher.”
Select a stronger wash cycle, see “Wash Cycle Table.”
Use more detergent or opt for a more powerful detergent.
Rearrange dishes, ensuring that the spray arms can move freely.
Check to make sure the filter is clean and properly inserted. Clean the spray arm jets. See “Cleaning the Spray Arms”
Use less detergent if you have soft water, and choose the shortest cycle possible for washing glassware.
A mild abrasive cleaner will eliminate the marks.
Re-load the dishes properly and re-wash.
Load the dishwasher properly as suggested in “Loading the Dishwasher.”
Never empty your dishwasher immediately after washing. Open the door slightly and allow steam to escape and unload dishes only when they have cooled. Always empty the low basket first to prevent the top dishes from dripping water onto those beneath.
Shorter wash cycles also have a lower washing temperature. Choose a wash cycle that’s longer and has a higher temperature.
Water will not drain properly with low or poor quality cutlery. These type of dishes are not suitable for the dishwasher.
