Why does my IKEA MEDELSTOR keep stopping and starting?
It is normal for the IKEA Dishwasher to stop and start during operation. This process helps to provide optimal cleaning results and save energy.
Why is the salt indicator still on in my IKEA Dishwasher?

Why are the dishes still wet after IKEA MEDELSTOR Dishwasher?
If your dishes are still wet after using your IKEA Dishwasher, try activating the DryPlus option and setting AutoOpen for better drying. Also, the current program might not have a drying phase, or it might use a low-temperature drying phase. Make sure the rinse aid dispenser isn't empty. The quality of both the rinse aid and multi-tablets can also affect drying, so try a different brand or use rinse aid and multi-tablets together.

Why is my IKEA MEDELSTOR Dishwasher not drying properly?
Several factors can affect drying performance in your IKEA Dishwasher. Tableware left too long in a closed appliance may not dry well.

For optimal drying, activate the DryPlus option and set AutoOpen. It's also recommended to always use rinse aid, even with multi-tablets.
How to remove limescale from my IKEA MEDELSTOR?
To address limescale deposits in your IKEA Dishwasher, first check the salt level and refill if the indicator is on. Ensure the salt container cap is tightly closed.

If limescale persists, clean the appliance with suitable cleaners or try a different detergent. You can also contact the detergent manufacturer for advice.
