If your Viking Dishwasher is leaving detergent in the compartment, it could be due to items blocking the compartment cover. Ensure that dishes are not obstructing the cover's opening. It could also be due to old detergent. If the detergent is hard or caked, discard it and use fresh detergent, adding it just before starting the dishwasher.
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 chipping or breaking glassware?
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 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 Dishwasher cause discoloration of stainless steel, silverplate, or sterling silver?
If your Viking Dishwasher is causing discoloration of stainless steel, silverplate, or sterling silver, it may be due to allowing salty foods to remain on flatware for extended periods. Rinse flatware that will stand for several hours before washing. Avoid putting stainless steel and silver flatware in the same silverware basket compartment, as direct contact can cause permanent damage to silver. Clean stained items with silver polish, but avoid using abrasives on stainless steel or silver.
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.
