If you lift the door up at an angle, you'll be able to get more rinse aid into the dispenser. I use rinse aid all the time. Even with soft water, I can tell when the reservoir is low. There are spots on glasses and plastic items. I have to fill mine about once a month. I use the machine a lot; you may not have to add it quite as often. Is there an indicator to let you know when it's near empty? |

OK, thanks No indicator. It has a sort of ring that shows the full line. Also states that it can be filled before it's empty but not to overfill. |

The caution about over filling is so when one puts the cap back on, excess rinse agent won't spill out and cause foaming problems (if not wiped up), next wash cycle. Try this trick, Fill the rinse aid dispenser until it is "full", then slightly tilt the door upwards as in closing the dishwasher. The fluid should go down into the dispenser, then one can lower the door and add more agent. If filling for a second time, make sure not to fill all the way to the top, then repeat the above, allowing fluid to run into the dispenser. If fluid remains above in whole or part, then you know the dispenser has reached capacity and shouldn't be filled again. Fill my Kenmore this way all the time, as it doesn't hold much and am tired of forgetting and ending up with spotty and or in the case of non-heat drying, dishes that are still wet the next morning. |

After awhile, wouldn't all this moisture on the steel walls lead to mold in the machine? |
