Q: QuestionI just bought this dishwasher, but even when I put it on heat dry, the spoons are all wet and the dishes too Even after the dishwasher was used last night and I opened it this morning Am very disappointed. Not sure if someone else had this problem too

Asked 3 years ago by hero.

• A:Answer I would double-check the "rinse aid" compartment to make sure it's not low or empty. We are used to a little bit of water on some dishes, but it's usually a very small amount.

Q: QuestionWhere do you put powder dishwasher detergent? Inside the compartment or on the outside? My manual doesn’t say. Also, does the rinse aid compartment take a lot of liquid? The sample rinse aid did not fill to the indicator. Is that normal?

Asked 3 years ago by JRS.

• A:Answer Hello JRS, the powder detergents would go in the same pre wash compartment on the dispenser. For the Rinse Aid if it is completely empty that can be normal yes. We hope this helps.
