Why is my Samsung Dishwasher leaving food particles on dishes?

  Kathryn BullockAug 25, 2025
  If your Samsung Dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes properly and food particles remain, consider these potential causes: ensure you've selected the appropriate cycle for the load size and soil level. Verify that the water supply line is connected to a hot water source. Low water pressure could also be the culprit; it should be between 20 and 120 psi. The water may be too hard, so use high-quality detergent with rinse aid. Make sure you're using automatic dishwasher detergent, preferably powder or gel. Check that nothing is blocking the detergent dispenser. Add rinse aid to the dispenser if it's empty. Finally, make sure the nozzles are not clogged and that the dishes are loaded properly, allowing for nozzle rotation and detergent dispensing.

  If your Samsung Dishwasher isn't drying dishes well, there are a few things you can check. First, ensure there's rinse aid in the dispenser and that you're using a liquid type. Make sure the water supply line is connected to a hot water supply and consider using rinse aid with the Sanitize option. Proper loading of items can affect drying, so avoid overloading. After the cycle finishes, empty the lower rack first and then the upper rack to prevent water from dripping. If available, activate the AutoRelease™ Dry mode.

Why is my Samsung DW80K5050 Dishwasher taking so long?
- C
  Cheryl WatsonSep 18, 2025
  A possible reason for a Samsung Dishwasher taking too long to complete a cycle is that cold water is being supplied to the unit. Check to ensure that the water supply line is connected to a hot water supply. When cold water is supplied, the dishwasher requires additional time to heat the water.

What to do if my Samsung DW80K5050 Dishwasher leaves glasses with a dim polish?

  williamsgeorgeSep 9, 2025
  If your Samsung Dishwasher leaves glasses with a dim polish, it could be because the water supplied is soft and too much detergent was used. Try underloading the dishwasher and using a rinse aid to minimize this. Also, if aluminum dishes were included in the wash load, remove the marks on the dishes using a low sensitivity cleaner.

  John YoungSep 7, 2025
  If your Samsung Dishwasher isn't cleaning properly, several factors could be at play. First, make sure you're selecting the appropriate cycle for the load size and soil level. Ensure the water supply line is connected to a hot water source, ideally around 120°F (49°C). Check that the water pressure is between 20 and 120 psi (140 - 830 kPa). Use a high-quality, fresh detergent along with a rinse aid. Confirm you are using automatic dishwasher detergent, preferably a powder or gel type. Make sure that large items are not blocking the detergent dispenser. Check the dispenser and add liquid rinse aid if it's empty. Finally, rearrange the dishes so they do not interfere with nozzle rotation and detergent dispenser operation, and avoid overloading.
