How do Use this machine?????? What type of soap???? I heard I use salt???? I dont know what any of the buttons mean either

It means you use too much soap and or the wrong type of soap.
Use only H E soap and the amount specified.
Remove the filter at the bottom front of the machine and clean it out.
Replace the filter and run the machine.
Use only the correct soap and correct amount to avoid future problems like this.

Fine granulated salt there should be a salt dispenser in your dishwasher If the salt light is on.

Hello Maria,

The salt goes in the salt compartment in the base of the washing compartment. Unscrew the lid of the salt compartment (counter-clockwise), pour in salt until the compatment is full or nearly full then screw the lid back on firmly, but do not overtighten it.


If the dishwasher is new and you are using it for the first time, pour about 1 litre of cold clean water into the salt compartment before adding the salt. If you spill any salt or the water spills over the top of the salt compartment, it will wash/drain away the next time you use the washer.

The most important thing is to only use dishwasher salt. The salt is used for water-softening and only salt sold specifically for dishwashers can be used for this purpose.

The picture above is from a Bosch dishwasher. You may have another brand or model of dishwasher, but the salt compartment will still be in the base of the washing compartment and will have a cap which you unscrew as above.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please let me know the brand and model number of your dishwasher.

Regards,
BElectric

This means that you have used to much soap or the wrong soap. Make sure that the soap you are using has the HE on the front of it. What happens is, there is a sensor inside the machine that lets you know when you have to much suds. meaning that you have used to much soap or the wrong type. Make sure the soap you are using is made for the new High Efficiency machine. It will have a HE on the front label.

Salt? Why are you using salt to begin with? Why are you not using the liquid soaps etc. If your one of those all natural people i use all natural liquid etc. Salt is corrosive and parts that are not stainless steel will corrode quickly!

this usually depends on the type and brand of detergent you use. for example if you use standard detergent and it takes 1 cup, then you use concentrated detergent and it takes 1/2 cup. you have to check the detergent container for proper amount to use. for most detergents it is around 3/4 to 1 cup of detergent.
Ps. dont forget to rate my answer please. Thanks.

grab a can of morton salt let it fill and start to wash open the door and throw a hand full of salt into the machine try to hit as much of the tub as you can
start the machine and let it start to wash
and salt again and let it start to wash
hit cancel and let it drain
you may have to repeat this a couple of times but the salt will nutralize the soap and you will not have to buy a new one

add some salt in the cabinet and a bit of water. salt acts as a foam suppressant
