  To improve poor washing results with your Lamona Dishwasher, consider the following: * Increase the amount of detergent, especially when washing full loads or in hard water. * If you have hard water, increase the water softener dosage and consider using additional detergent and increasing the rinse agent dosage. * Check and clean the spray arms, ensuring the nozzle holes are not blocked. * Ensure proper loading, following the instructions for use, and avoid overcrowding the baskets. * Check the mains water pressure to ensure sufficient water fill. * Clean the filter system to remove any accumulated foods. * Rinse items thoroughly before putting them in the dishwasher to remove any prewashing detergent.

  If your dishes are not drying properly in your Lamona Dishwasher, make sure to load the dishes so that all items are properly tilted for good drainage and avoid nesting of dishes and/or silverware. Also, check the rinse aid supply and add liquid rinse aid if it's depleted.

  If you notice particles left on dishes in your Lamona Dishwasher, ensure that the water action is not blocked by dishes and load the dishwasher correctly. Check the filter system for accumulated food or detergent and keep it clean. Also, check the mains water pressure to ensure sufficient water fill. Use powder detergent within one to two months after purchase, store it in a cool, dry place, and always close the pouring spout after each use. Make sure that the rinse aid supply is not depleted.

  Stephanie HuntAug 25, 2025
  If there is an odor in your Lamona Dishwasher, use the pre-wash cycle at least once a day until you have a full load, or hand rinse dishes before loading the dishwasher. Also, ensure that you clean the filter system, as a dirty filter system may contribute to a bad odor.

Why does detergent cake in the detergent dispenser of my Lamona Dishwasher?
- K
  Kristen CameronAug 27, 2025
  If the detergent cakes in the dispenser of your Lamona Dishwasher, ensure the dispenser is dry before adding powder detergent and start the dishwasher immediately. If using gel detergent, start the dishwasher soon after adding it and do not allow it to dry out. Do not overfill the dispenser and check the cover for a tight fit. Avoid placing large items in front of the dispenser. Use detergent within one to two months of purchase and store it in a cool, dry place.

  Scratches on glassware in your Lamona Dishwasher can be caused by a water or chemical reaction with some glassware, often due to soft or softened water and alkaline washing solutions. To minimize etching, use the minimum amount of detergent and the appropriate program. Using a rinse aid may also help.

What causes pitting of stainless steel items in my Lamona LAM8301?
- L
  ljonesSep 8, 2025
  Pitting of stainless steel items in your Lamona Dishwasher can occur due to prolonged contact with salty or highly acidic foods or with undissolved or highly concentrated detergent. Remove spots with silver polish and rewash. Wash soon after use, or pre-wash items if they will not be washed right away. Avoid overloading the cutlery basket and spilling detergent directly on flatware. Make sure the dispenser cup is properly closed.
