What Makes Electrolux Dishwasher Repairs Different

What Electrolux Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not drying. Electrolux says to check and refill the rinse aid, raise the rinse aid setting, and skip the Air Dry option if items are coming out wet. Source: Electrolux - Dishwasher Rinse Aid Guide
- Water left in dishwasher. Electrolux says a little standing water is normal, but water above the filter screen means checking the drain for debris, running the disposer, and removing a new disposer's knockout plug. Source: Electrolux - Why is water in the dishwasher after it runs?

Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
