If your Viking Dishwasher is causing chipping or breaking of glassware, it is likely due to improper loading. Avoid overloading the dishwasher and load glasses between the prongs, not over them, to ensure they are properly supported. Make sure glassware is secure, and always use the upper rack for delicate items, selecting the light/china cycle.
Why is my Viking Designer 200 leaving spots and film on dishes?
Spotting and filming can occur for several reasons. Ensure the rinse agent dispenser is full. Use the correct amount of dishwasher detergent, considering water hardness and the selected wash program. Load items properly, avoiding overloading, and ensure water reaches all surfaces. For hard water, consider using products designed to eliminate hard water deposits.
How to fix detergent left in the detergent compartment of my Viking Designer 200 Dishwasher?
If detergent remains in the compartment, improperly loaded items may be blocking the cover. Try moving any dishes that could be obstructing it. Also, if the detergent is hard or caked, discard it and use fresh detergent.
Why does my Viking Designer 200 have spotting and filming?
If your Viking Dishwasher is leaving spots and film on your dishes, several factors could be the cause. First, check if the rinse agent dispenser needs to be filled. Ensure you're using the correct amount of dishwasher detergent, appropriate for your water hardness and selected wash program; avoid old or caked detergent, and store it properly. Verify that items are loaded correctly, without overloading, allowing water to reach all surfaces. Also, check that both wash arms rotate freely, unobstructed by items or dirt. Inspect and clean the strainer if blocked, and only use dishwasher detergent to prevent excessive foam.
Why are my dishes not dry in my Viking Designer 200?
If your Viking Dishwasher isn't drying dishes properly, there are several potential reasons. When using a non-heat drying option, allow more drying time. Ensure the rinse agent dispenser is full, as rinse agent helps dishes dry faster. Be aware that certain plastic materials are difficult to dry and may require towel drying. Avoid overloading or nesting items, ensuring all surfaces drain well. Load items with concave bases to maximize water runoff, and unload the lower rack first to prevent water from the upper rack from spilling onto the lower dishes.
What to do if Viking Designer 200 door is ajar and does not start?
If your Viking Dishwasher door is ajar and the appliance won't start, make sure the door is closed securely.
Why is my Viking Designer 200 making unusual noise?
If your Viking Dishwasher is making unusual noises, it could be due to improper loading. Make sure all utensils are securely placed and have not dropped from the rack. Water may cause unsecured utensils to rattle, so ensure everything is properly positioned in the dishwasher.
Why does my Viking Designer 200 Dishwasher have a plastic smell?
If your Viking Dishwasher has a plastic smell, it may be due to certain parts having a plastic odor. To address this, place 2 cups of white vinegar in a dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the lower rack. Run the dishwasher through the longest cycle with an extra heat option, but without using heated dry or detergent.
Why does my Viking Designer 200 leave yellow or brown marks on dishes?
If you notice yellow or brown marks on your dishes after using your Viking Dishwasher, it could be due to iron or manganese in the water. As a temporary solution, pour one teaspoon to one tablespoon of citric acid crystals instead of the prewash detergent, followed by a full detergent wash using the pots/pans or normal wash cycle. For a permanent solution, consider installing an iron removal system in your water supply. Yellow film on sterling silver also results when washing copper items in the same load. Silver polish usually removes the stain. Stains from tea or coffee (tannic acid) can be removed by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water, but do not use this on sterling silver or silverplate.
Why is my Viking Dishwasher not filling with water?
If your Viking Dishwasher isn't filling with water, start by checking that the door is firmly closed and that the dishwasher is turned on. Inspect the water feed line to ensure it is not crimped, and verify that the water supply is available and turned on.
