  Jeremiah WilliamsAug 13, 2025
  Your Grundig Dishwasher might not be starting due to several reasons: the power cable may be unplugged, a fuse might be blown, the water supply could be cut off, the dishwasher door might not be closed properly, or the On/Off button hasn't been pressed. Check that the power cable is plugged in, inspect the fuses in your house, ensure the water inlet tap is open, confirm the dishwasher door is fully closed, and make sure you've turned the machine on using the On/Off button.

  If your dishes are not drying in your Grundig Dishwasher, ensure that the dishes are placed in a way that water will not accumulate in them. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary, or increase the rinse aid setting. Avoid unloading the machine immediately after the cycle; instead, slightly open the door and wait for the steam to evacuate before unloading, starting from the lower basket. Also, consider using a program with a longer duration for better drying performance. Note that kitchen utensils with deteriorated surfaces may not dry well and are not recommended for dishwasher use.

  If there's an unusual odor coming from your Grundig Dishwasher, check if the filter system is clean and clean it regularly. If you're not running the dishwasher immediately after loading, remove food remnants and run the prewash program every two days without detergent. To prevent odor buildup, don't completely close the dishwasher door when not in use. You can also use commercially available odor removers or machine cleaners.

Why tea stains remain on dishes in Grundig GSV41820 Dishwasher?
- C
  Charles WrightAug 28, 2025
  If tea, coffee, or lipstick stains persist on dishes after a Grundig Dishwasher cycle, it could be due to selecting an unsuitable program; try one with a higher temperature and cycle time. Also, if the surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated, these stains may not be cleaned. Finally, improper storage of detergent in humid conditions can affect its cleaning power, so ensure it's stored in a closed container.

What causes rust on dishes in Grundig GSV41820 Dishwasher?
- A
  Alison JohnsonSep 1, 2025
  Rust, discoloration, or surface deterioration on dishes in your Grundig Dishwasher can be caused by several factors. Salt leakage can lead to deterioration and oxidation, so avoid spilling salt when filling and ensure the reservoir lid is tightly closed. Salty food remnants left on dishes for too long can also contribute; prewash or wash immediately. An ungrounded electrical installation can cause static electricity, leading to surface damage. Avoid using intensive cleansers like bleach, and refrain from using metal items, especially knives, for unintended purposes. Finally, low-quality stainless steel cutlery is prone to corrosion and should not be washed in the dishwasher.

Why detergent remains in Grundig GSV41820 Dishwasher dispenser?
- D
  David MooreSep 4, 2025
  If detergent is remaining in the dispenser of your Grundig Dishwasher, ensure the dispenser is dry before adding detergent and add the detergent shortly before starting the wash. Make sure dishes aren't blocking the dispenser lid from opening or preventing water from the impellers from entering. Improperly stored detergent, especially powder, can also cause this issue, so keep it in a closed container. Clogged impeller holes can also prevent proper dispensing; clean them regularly.

  David ParksSep 8, 2025
  To prevent salt leakage in your Grundig Dishwasher, be careful not to spill salt around the filling hole when adding salt. Ensure the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after filling. Run the prewash program to remove any spilled salt inside the machine. After the prewash, check the lid again as salt granules dissolving can cause it to loosen.
