  If dishes are not getting clean in your Grundig Dishwasher, consider these potential causes. Ensure dishes are loaded properly as described in the user manual. Select a program with a higher temperature and longer cycle time. Manually rotate the impellers to ensure they aren't stuck. Check and clean the impeller holes and filter system regularly. Make sure the filters are correctly installed and baskets aren't overloaded. Store powder detergent properly in a closed container, avoiding humid places, or use tablet detergents. Adjust the amount of detergent based on how dirty the dishes are, or switch to tablet detergents. Check and refill rinse aid if necessary. Finally, ensure the detergent dispenser lid is tightly closed after adding detergent.

  If water remains in your Grundig Dishwasher after the program finishes, it could be due to clogged filters. Check if the filter system is clean and perform regular cleaning. Another possible cause is a blocked discharge hose. Inspect the discharge hose, and if necessary, remove it to clear any blockages, then re-insert it according to the user manual.

  If detergent remains in the dispenser of your Grundig Dishwasher, ensure the dispenser is dry before adding detergent and add detergent shortly before starting the wash. Arrange dishes so they don't block the dispenser lid or water flow from impellers. Store powder detergent in a closed container, avoiding humid places, or use tablet detergents. Also, check and clean the impeller holes regularly, as they may be clogged with food remnants.

Why does lime remain on dishes in my Grundig GNF11510W Dishwasher?

  Brian ShannonAug 28, 2025
  If lime traces are appearing on dishes and glassware in your Grundig Dishwasher, and glassware looks misty, it might be due to insufficient rinse aid. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary, increasing the rinse aid setting. Also, the water hardness setting may be low, or the salt level may be insufficient. Measure the hardness of the supply water and check the water hardness setting accordingly.

  If there's an unusual odor coming from your Grundig Dishwasher, it could be due to clogged filters. Check and clean the filter system regularly. Alternatively, if you're not running the dishwasher immediately after loading, remove food remnants and run the Prewash program without detergent every 2 days. To prevent odors, don't fully close the door when not in use and consider using commercial odor removers or machine cleaners.

Why are my dishes scratched after using the Grundig GNF11510W Dishwasher?

  If your dishes are getting scratched in your Grundig Dishwasher, it could be due to salt leakage. Avoid spilling salt when filling and ensure the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed. Run a prewash cycle to remove any spilled salt. Also, check the water hardness setting and ensure it's appropriately set, and that the salt level is sufficient. Finally, make sure dishes, especially glasses, are placed securely to prevent them from striking each other during the wash cycle.

  If tea, coffee, or lipstick stains persist on dishes washed in your Grundig Dishwasher, try selecting a program with a higher temperature and longer cycle time. Note that stains may not be removed from kitchen utensils with deteriorated surfaces.

Why are my dishes rusting in my Grundig GNF11510W?
- K
  Kelli WellsSep 5, 2025
  If you notice rust, discoloration, or surface deterioration on dishes washed in your Grundig Dishwasher, it could be due to salt leakage. Ensure you don't spill salt when filling and that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed. Run a prewash program to remove any spilled salt. Also, remove salty food remnants with a prewash, and ensure your electrical installation is properly grounded. Avoid using intensive cleansers like bleach. Do not use metal items for purposes other than intended. Note that cutlery made of low-quality stainless steel is prone to corrosion and should not be washed in the dishwasher.

How to prevent bluish film on glasses from Grundig GNF11510W Dishwasher?
- M
  Mark McdanielSep 7, 2025
  If a milky smear remains on glasses washed in your Grundig Dishwasher, and they have a bluish/rainbow tint under light, it may be due to excessive rinse aid. Try lowering the rinse aid setting and clean any spilled rinse aid. This can also be caused by soft water corroding the glass. Measure the water hardness and adjust the dishwasher's setting accordingly. If your water is soft, do not use salt, and select higher temperature programs. Consider using commercially available glass protective detergents.

Why is there foam in my Grundig GNF11510W Dishwasher?
- A
  ahammondSep 9, 2025
  If foam is forming in your Grundig Dishwasher, it's likely due to hand-wash detergent residue. Avoid hand-washing dishes with detergent before loading them into the dishwasher; simply remove coarse soil under tap water. Also, ensure rinse aid isn't spilling into the machine when filling, and clean up any spills with a tissue. Make sure the lid of the rinse aid reservoir is closed tightly after filling.
