Scale from hard water

If your tap water leaves a white film on taps and glass in your home, use dishwasher salt and rinse aid, and clean the parts as each manual describes to reduce scale build-up.

When to call a technician

  • A leak that continues.
  • A burning smell.
  • Water that will not drain even after cleaning the filter.
  • A drum that will not turn, or an unusual noise.
