  If your Residentia Dishwasher isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the power supply is on and the dishwasher door is securely closed. Check that the water supply is properly connected and turned on, verifying adequate water pressure. Inspect the drain hose for any kinks. Also, a clogged filter or kitchen sink could be the culprit; inspect and clean the coarse filter, and ensure the kitchen sink drains well. Finally, improper detergent can cause issues; use only special dishwasher detergent to avoid excessive suds.

How to improve unsatisfactory washing results with my Residentia DW42CS?

  If you're experiencing unsatisfactory washing results with your Residentia Dishwasher, consider these points: * Ensure dishes are loaded correctly, allowing the spray to rotate freely. * Select a more intensive wash program. * Adjust the amount or type of detergent used. * Clean and correctly fit the filter combination. * Clean the spray arm jets. For glassware, use less detergent if you have soft water and select a shorter cycle. If spots persist, use a mild abrasive cleaner. Also, ensure you are loading the dishwasher as suggested and increasing the amount of rinse-aid. Finally, avoid immediately emptying the dishwasher after washing; instead, slightly open the door to let steam escape and wait until the dishes are barely warm before unloading, starting with the lower basket.

Why is my Residentia DW42CS not drying dishes properly?
- A
  Alicia OwensAug 20, 2025
  Several factors can contribute to unsatisfactory drying results in your Residentia Dishwasher. The selected program may not be powerful enough; try always running the quick wash program. Also consider that not enough detergent was dispensed, items may be blocking the path of the spray arms, the filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet may not be clean or correctly fitted, there may be a combination of soft water and too much detergent, aluminum utensils may have rubbed against dishes, dishes may be blocking detergent cups, improper loading, too little rinse-aid, dishes may be removed too soon, the wrong program has been selected, or the use of cutlery with a low-quality coating.
