Scale from hard water
If your tap water leaves a white film on taps and glass at home, use dishwasher salt and rinse aid, and clean the parts as each manual describes to keep scale in check.
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.
