Try putting vinegar in the rinse dispenser for a few cycles. Monitor the level of vinegar in the dispenser and see if it goes back to normal consumption.
This is a potentially dangerous situation as the chemicals in the toilet bowl cleaner can cause damage to your dishwasher and may be toxic if ingested.
You should immediately stop using the dishwasher and unplug it from the power source to prevent any further damage. Next, you should carefully remove the toilet bowl cleaner from the rinse aid dispenser and dispose of it properly. It is important to handle the cleaner with caution and to wear protective gloves to avoid coming into contact with the chemicals.
Once you have removed the cleaner from the rinse aid dispenser, you should thoroughly rinse out the dispenser with water to remove any remaining residue. You should then refill the dispenser with the appropriate rinse aid as directed in the dishwasher's user manual.
If you are unsure of how to safely remove the toilet bowl cleaner from the rinse aid dispenser or if you are concerned about potential damage to your dishwasher, you may want to consider seeking the assistance of a professional appliance repair service.
Just fill the dispenser with some rinse aid and it will go off. Open the door and on the inside of the door next to where you put the tablet you'll see the rinse aid dispenser
For most dishwashers, there will be port on the door. Usually it will be near the detergent dispenser. On mine, the two items are in one grey plastic enclosure. The rinse aid port is on the right side of the area as you look at the dishwasher door from the front of the dishwasher. Look for a knob surrounded by a few numbers and a few symbols/words. In one direction, the dispenser will be closed; no rinse aid will be released. Turn the knob fully in the other direction, it's open and the cover can be pulled up to allow for refilling the dispenser.
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with your dishwasher's make and model number for more information.
The obvious answer is that you need to add rinse-aid to the rinse-aid dispenser. Barring that, then you probably have a bad level sensor in the dispenser and would need to replace the whole detergent/rinse-aid dispenser assembly. On the other hand, it could just be a loose or disconnected wire going to the detergent/rinse-aid dispenser.
The dispenser will take about 6 oz of rinse aid if completely empty. It will only need filled every couple months depending on how often you do dishes.
If you are getting poor drying performance or spotting use a rinse aid that is called 'Turbo Dry'.
The arrow is how much rinse will dispense each load. Start out near the center, if you see spotting or turn it up slightly and try another load.
OK.... The rinse aid dispenser holds enough rinse aid for a lot of washes and dispenses very little each time. So you may nedd to have the dispenser emptied by a technician. If you take the door liner off you can see the back of the dispenser and maybe you can work out how to empty it. Holding the actuator in manually could allow the rinse aid dispenser to run out. Then wipe the tank dry with a towel. Putting high fat milk in the machine while it is rinsing will neutralise the foam. Just one cup will do. Good Luck.....T.
