Dishes coming out with food residue or a white film? Results depend on spray, heat and detergent together; a fault in any shows on the dishes.
Possible causes
- Blocked spray arm holes
- Dirty filter reducing circulation
- Loading that blocks the arms
- Out of salt or rinse aid
- No heating
- Weak circulation pump
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Spin the arms by hand to check they move freely
- Remove the arms and clear the holes
- Refill salt and rinse aid
- Scrape off large food residue before loading

When do you need a technician?
If dishes are cold at the end of a hot programme, or poor cleaning persists, the heater or pump needs checking.
