Dishwasher rinse-aid light on? Refill only the dedicated compartment

Rinse aid helps drying and reduces water spots. Fill the designated reservoir to the marked line with an approved liquid rinse aid; do not substitute detergent, vinegar or homemade mixtures.

Bosch and Samsung explain that rinse aid is released at a different point in the cycle than dishwashing detergent. Indicators, dispenser shapes and dosage settings vary by model. Check the appliance manual and never pour detergent into the rinse-aid chamber.

0 / 6 done

Read the indicator and model manual to confirm that it really signals low rinse aid.
When the cycle has finished, open the door and locate the designated rinse-aid compartment, not the detergent chamber.
Use only a compatible liquid rinse aid, pouring slowly up to the maximum fill line without overfilling.
Wipe spills around the compartment with a soft cloth and close its cap securely.
Run a normal cycle. If water spots or rainbow-like streaks persist, consult the manual before changing the rinse-aid dosage setting.
Never pour ordinary dish soap, dishwasher detergent, vinegar or homemade mixes into the rinse-aid reservoir. Store products out of children's reach.
