- Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water
pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster
pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.
• Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-colored deposit; etching is a
cloudy film)
- Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is
usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing
solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher and the heat of drying. It
might not be possible to prevent the problem, except by hand washing.
- To slow this process, use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tbsp (15
g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and under load the dishwasher to allow thorough
rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do not use
heated drying.
• White spots on cookware with non-stick finish
- Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning? Re-season cookware
after washing in the dishwasher.
• Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior
- Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes, using 1 to 3 tsp (5 to 15 mL)
of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not
use detergent. Follow with a NORMAL wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is
needed more often than every other month, the installation of an iron removal unit is
recommended.
• Black or gray marks on dishes
- Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing? Disposable aluminum items can
break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items. Remove
aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.
• Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior
- Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher? It may
be necessary to use a stain removal product to remove stains from your dishwasher.
Stains will not affect dishwasher performance.
