Excessive foam in Dishwasher - Hand-wash detergent or spilled rinse aid

What does Foam in Machine mean?

Foam appearing in the Dishwasher is typically caused by using hand-wash detergent, which contains no antifoam, or by accidentally spilling rinse aid into the machine. Both can negatively impact washing performance.

• Dishes washed with hand-wash detergent and not rinsed before loading.
• Rinse aid spilled into the machine when filling.
• Lid of the rinse aid reservoir left open.
