My Ignis dishwasher ADL 348 is not dissolving the dishwasher tablet properly leaving the crockery still dirty. It is also making a really strange noise during operation. I have cleaned the filters and the water hose is not kinked, and clues? Where is the water inlet filter?

If the dishwasher is undergoing short programmes and low-temperature washes then your dishwasher may not allow for the tablet to fully dissolve leaving some remaining tablet left behind. Another reason why the tablet may not be dissolving is because of the water hardness of the area you live in as the tablet may take longer to dissolve in the water.

Hello, M Cruse -

There are several situations which can result in the dishwasher detergent table not dissolving completely.

First, make sure your dishwasher detergent tablet isn't the kind that has to be removed from a cellophane type wrapping before placing in the dishwasher. I mention this because my husband does not always purchase the same brand of dishwasher detergent tablets. Some are not the kind with plastic which dissolves in the hot water of the dishwasher.

I think the information here:
https://removeandreplace.com/2015/05/15/dishwasher-not-dissolving-detergent-or-tablet-how-to-fix/
covers all the reasons why the dishwasher detergent tablet may not dissolve completely.

We have the problem that the detergent dispenser often "traps" the tablet. We reside in a rental and the landlord has not chosen to replace the dishwasher with a newer model, so we just toss the tablet into the bottom of the dishwasher.

Note: I think purchasing a gel dishwasher detergent would be better, but The Husband likes the tablets. Sigh . . .

Best wishes.

Is the dishwasher heating ? , check heating element / pcb

Some brands of powder do not dissolve properly, also it is not recommended to use the tablet type powder blocks as they don't work well and cost more than normal powder.

Hi,Nicole, try this:
Run the water nearest the dishwasher (usually the sink), getting the water as hot as possible immediately before starting the dishwasher. This will help getting the tablet to dissolve.

You really have to check if you have proper water flow inside the machine. My guess would be that you have a clog in the arm and therefore not enough water circulating in the machine to dissolve the soap. Check for a clog in the spray arms or around the pump housing and see if there is a restriction of some sort

Hi,

The dishwasher is not filling with water...
Here is a tip that will help you to find out why water will not come into the dishwasher...

Dishwasher Trouble No Water entering Dishwasher

Clean EVERYTHING and ensure it's assembled correctly.
The sprayer arms have an unlocking ring and can be rinsed, the filters must be washed and rinsed and properly reassembled.
Even cleaning the door seals can help.
Test again, clean again (as more muck can be circulated).

I don't have a solution, but the exact same problem is happening with my dishwasher. Nothing is getting cleaned properly.

Did you manage to get the problem fixed?

water may not be hot enough...check thermostat in waterheater.
