What to do if there is foam in my ECG Dishwasher tub?
- C
  Charles JonesAug 26, 2025
  If you see foam in the tub of your ECG Dishwasher, it's likely due to: * **Wrong Detergent:** Only use detergents specifically made for automatic dishwashers. If foam appears, open the door and let it dissipate. Add about 4.5 litres of cold water to the tub, close the dishwasher, and run the “soaking” program to drain. Repeat if needed. * **Rinse Aid Overflow:** Immediately wipe up any spilled rinse aid.

What causes yellow or brown film on the interior of my ECG EDF 4516 QA+ Dishwasher?

  Lori KentSep 7, 2025
  If you notice a yellow or brown film on the interior surfaces of your ECG Dishwasher, it could be due to: * **Coffee or Tea Stains:** Use a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach and 3 cups of water to manually remove the stains. *Warning!* Wait at least 20 minutes after the program completes to allow the heating elements to cool down before cleaning. * **Metal Deposits:** Metal deposits in the water supply can cause a pervasive coating. Contact your water supplier to inquire about installing a special filter.
