Why didn't Dishwashing Tablet wrapper didn’t dissolveUpdated 12 hours ago
Dishwashing Tablets are wrapped in a biodegradable PVA film that dissolves during the wash cycle.
If you notice small pieces of film in the filter or dishwasher, try the steps below.
Quick fixes
- Switch placement:
- Standard / Auto programs: Place the whole tablet in the dispenser.
- Short / Eco programs: Lay the whole tablet flat on the tub floor under the lower spray arm. This allows hot water to reach the wrapper sooner.
- Use a hotter program: Choose a 55–65°C cycle to give the film more time and heat to dissolve properly.
- Check water flow: Ensure spray arms spin freely and filters are clean. Good water pressure helps the tablet dissolve completely.
Loading & Handling Tips
- Handle tablets with dry hands so the wrapper stays intact until wash time.
- Do not peel or cut the wrapper. The PVA film is designed to break down safely in water.
- Avoid blocking the dispenser door with large items. The tablet must drop freely when the flap opens.
- Check the salt reservoir to ensure it’s filled and free from debris.
- The PVA film is septic-safe and will not block drains once fully dissolved.
