  Your Cosmo Dishwasher might not start due to several reasons: The door may not be properly closed, so ensure it's fully closed and latched. Check if the power is off or not connected, and make sure it's both connected and turned on. The delay start option might be selected; in that case, refer to the “Delay” section under "Controls and indicators" on page 8. Finally, the child lock could be activated; if so, deactivate it.

What to do if my Cosmo COS-DIS6502 Dishwasher is not cleaning dishes enough?

  Jill WatsonAug 22, 2025
  If your Cosmo Dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes adequately, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the water pressure is above 20 psi (138 kPa) and try using the dishwasher when water demand is low. Check that the inlet water temperature is sufficient by connecting the dishwasher to a hot water supply and using it when hot water demand is low. Avoid overcrowding by reloading the dishwasher. Ensure you're using the correct amount of fresh detergent for your water hardness and selected cycle. Select a cycle with a longer washing time. Finally, confirm that the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely.

  If your Cosmo Dishwasher isn't drying dishes well enough, check these potential causes: The rinse aid dispenser may be empty or set too low, so fill it and increase the setting. Improper loading can also prevent drying, so reload the dishwasher properly. Lastly, the selected cycle might not include a drying function, so choose a cycle that does.

  If your Cosmo Dishwasher runs for an extended period, it could be due to a few reasons. Ensure the dishwasher is connected to a hot water supply; switch to a hot water source if it isn't. The wash times will be longer when heavy soil is detected. Also, some options will add time to the cycle.

Why does my Cosmo COS-DIS6502 have spots and filming on dishes?
- A
  Amy WilliamsAug 28, 2025
  Spots and filming on dishes in your Cosmo Dishwasher can occur for several reasons. If your water hardness is too high, consider installing a water softener. Improper loading can obstruct proper cleaning, so reload the dishwasher. Old or damp rinse aid can also cause this issue, so use fresh, liquid rinse aid. Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is full and the setting is appropriately high.
