Why is there foam in my Viking Dishwashers?

Why does detergent residue remain in my Viking Dishwashers dispenser?
Detergent residue in your Viking dishwasher's dispenser can occur for several reasons. Ensure the dispenser is dry before filling it and add detergent just before washing. Avoid blocking the dispenser lid with large items. Store detergents properly in a dry location with the lid closed. Clean the spray arms if nozzles are clogged and ensure the spray arms can rotate freely. Also, terminating the cycle early can leave residue.
Why are there rust stains in my Viking Dishwashers?
Rust stains and surface damage in your Viking dishwasher may occur if the salt container lid isn't closed properly; ensure it's firmly closed and use the Rinse and Hold program after refilling salt. Remove food leftovers promptly and use the Rinse and Hold program regularly. Check the grounding of the dishwasher. Avoid washing low-grade, rust-free steel cutlery or items with existing rust stains, as these are not suitable for dishwashers.
