I have a built in Electrolux ESL624 in the house I've just moved in to. I have noticed that items placed on the top shelf like glasses and cups are not always cleaning properly. Black deposits are being left on the the inside and outside of the cups and glasses

Hi,

The scum, film and white residueproblems have started since the reductionof phosphates in dishwasher detergents.

Here is a tip that will help you to solve the problem of films, residue, and scum in your dishwasher.

DishwasherResidue and Film on Dishes

make sure the arm on top isnt hitting something, each time you load it each in there and spin it to be sure it moves freely, also make sure your rinse agent container is full of rinse agent.

Place a thermomter in a glass of liquid. Put glass on shelf and see if the temperature changes or remains the same. If so change the control.

Before loading into the machine clean the particles that are sticking to the dishes.

Check the drain filter at the bottom rack and clean. It is user cleanable

First I would look for very oddly placed screws. If there are none, try pulling the wood on the underside with a pair of pliers until you can tell where the tension is coming from. If it is glued on there....well you may want to use a hammer and chisel and visit www.applianceart.com for a stainless panel to replace the old one. Probably not much help but thought I would try.

I had the same problem. The issue is due to the top rack water inlet not properly seating against the water line in the rear of the washer. I fixed it by placing heavier items (bowls, glass cups) on the rear of the rack and lighter items (plastic cups) near the front of the rack. As long as I arrange items on the top rack in this way the washer runs silently.

After some experience with our own fdw60 with the same problem, we now put all pots and pans on the top rack. Putting them on the bottm appears to stop the clean water rinse reaching the top rack. All washes since have been ok.

open the door remove the plinth (2 screws) then there is 2 screws higher up remove these (some people remove outer door panel to get easy access) then leaver the front plate up. then you can see the wires on the heater and the bolts are between them. hope this helps
