Dishwasher tablet not releasing

If the dishwasher tablet is not realising, the problem could be improper loading. This often happens when a pan handle or a large item is blocking the tablet from being dispensed into the tablet collecting tray. In this instance you will find that the tablet has not fully dissolved or that your dishes are still dirty. Please check that there is nothing obstructing the dishwasher door and the tablet collecting tray before running a cycle.

Even if the tablet is released into the collecting tray, it may fail to dissolve because your spray arms may be damaged or a pan handle is preventing the spray arms from spinning properly. This would affect the water flow and the effectiveness of the wash cycle and you will likely have to run another wash. Check your spray arms for any visible damage before proceeding and ensure that when you load the dishwasher there is nothing blocking the spray path.

If your spray arm is visibly damaged,you can purchase a replacement spray arm by using our spare parts search and entering the appliance information to get the bill of materials or by calling customer service on 0344 892 8979, where a member of our customer service team will assist your further with your query.

If your dishwasher tablet is releasing as normal, but fails to dissolve, low water temperature could be the root of the problem. Run a hotter cycle to check if the problem is with the water temperature.
