Why is my IKEA MEDELSTOR Dishwasher not drying properly?
- J
  John GregoryAug 26, 2025
  Several factors can affect drying performance in your IKEA Dishwasher. Tableware left too long in a closed appliance may not dry well. Ensure there is enough rinse aid, adjusting the dispenser to a higher level if needed. Note that plastic items may require towel drying. For optimal drying, activate the DryPlus option and set AutoOpen. It's also recommended to always use rinse aid, even with multi-tablets.

  To prevent stains and dry water drops on glasses and dishes in your IKEA Dishwasher, ensure the rinse aid level is sufficiently high by adjusting the rinse aid level to a higher level. Also, consider that the quality of the rinse aid itself could be a factor.

Why are the dishes still wet after IKEA MEDELSTOR Dishwasher?
- A
  Amy RosalesAug 27, 2025
  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.

  If your IKEA Dishwasher door is hard to close, it might not be leveled correctly. Try adjusting the feet. Also, check if any tableware is protruding from the baskets, as this can obstruct the door.

  Whitish streaks or bluish layers on glasses and dishes from your IKEA Dishwasher usually mean that too much rinse aid is being released. Adjust the rinse aid level to a lower setting. It could also indicate that you're using too much detergent.

  If the salt indicator remains on after refilling the salt container in your IKEA Dishwasher, and persists after 3 or 4 cycles, contact an Authorised Service Centre. This might occur if the salt takes longer to dissolve, but it doesn't affect the appliance's performance.

Why is there detergent left in my IKEA MEDELSTOR dispenser?
- U
  udeleonAug 30, 2025
  If there's detergent residue in the dispenser after a cycle in your IKEA Dishwasher, the tablet may have gotten stuck and not been fully washed away. Also, water might not be reaching the dispenser because the spray arm is blocked or clogged. Finally, ensure that items in the baskets aren't preventing the dispenser lid from opening.
