In this video I have shown the need for Salt and Rinse Aid setting in LG Dishwasher. It is very important to know the water hardness in your locality/home and set the salt setting in the dishwasher to suit the hardness. This plays a crucial role in giving proper cleaning of utensils.
I have made a separate video explaining about Water Hardness - Salt and Rinse Aid Setting in Dishwasher. I have shared a lot of information in the video which you seldom get from the manufacturer (most of my viewers have shared this information).
I am sharing the link of that video below -
• Water Hardness | Salt ...
Please watch the same and I am sure you will find it useful. In case of any queries you can connect with me and I shall try my best to offer the best advice or solution to your issues.
Thank you for all the love and support!!

Thank you.
Yes mam your reply helped me.that machine stopped blinking after adding salt.thanks alot.
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for making such descriptive videos. After watching them all my doubts were cleared and I could finally buy a dishwasher about 2 months ago. So I got the same model LG DFB424FP.
When the installation process was complete LG technician did not add water with the salt and the salt light was blinking for more than 15 days. Then I opened the salt camber but there was some water there and I added more and salt light stopped blinking. After a few days it started blinking again and then I added IFB salt (crystallized) till the brim and the light stopped. In about seven days the light started blinking again. Then I added Finish salt till the brim on 12th August 2020 and the light stopped blinking. Since 19th August 2020 the light is blinking again. I use the machine twice a day with Turbo, Steam and Hot Water settings. I'm completely perplexed by this and the LG technician just told us to add more salt which doesn't make sense. The hardness level by the strip provided by LG was about 125 so we've put H2 in the settings since it was installed. I use Finish detergent,salt and rinse aid.
Also there's a huge surge in the electricity bill. On an average electricity bill was less than 1000 and max 1200 before the dishwasher. After installing the dishwasher the bill has been more than 2500 rupees per month since the last 3 months. And we're not using any new appliance apart from dishwasher.
I love the washing quality of this dishwasher but these expenses of salt and electricity are taking a toll on my experience.
If you could share your thoughts on this it would be very helpful. The LG technicians in my area don't have a clue about it.
Thank you.
Hi Anjali, reply to the points raised by you -
It is the fault of the LG technician to have not filled water while filling salt. Good that you discovered this and added salt. Hope you added at least 1 litre water (or upto the brim).
For your water ppm, H1 is sufficient. Please change the setting to H1 (for detergent). If you are using tablet continuously, you can even keep it at H0. This will reduce your salt consumption.
Please remember, short program does not mean less power. In fact short programs consume more power than long duration program as they have to do same cleaning within short time. So use eco program also whenever possible. Continuously using turbo with steam will consume more power.
Regarding power bill, your running 2 turbo programs daily would have added about 700 to 800 to your power bill. The remaining could be due to lockdown. All of us are getting more power bill during lockdown since all are at home all the time. Actual increase due to dishwasher will be known only after things become normal.
Thanks.
I think you should use economic cycle electric bill will reduce
The high temp setting and steam setting g uses lot of electricity.
I am not an expert bought this same model 15 days back so can't say much.
The LG person said turbo uses more electricity than economic cycle
@@BhuvanaAdi hello mam the water hardness is 964 ppm in my house , can I use the dishwasher in h4 setting mam?
@@princechelladurai which dishwasher are you using?
@@BhuvanaAdi the same lg dfb424fp mam
Thank u for the video
I thought had wasted money on LG dishwasher , as after 2 months i started seeing spots on utensils
But now I am completely assured that I made good choice because just with simple settings the problem is sorted
Thanks a tonnes 👍
Hi Shobhana, glad that you found the video helpful. Thanks for the feedback.
After two washes, salt icon blinks. Do i need to add more salt? Hardness is H4, added 1kg initially, then added 50gms more the salt blink stopped, however after 2 more cycles it started to blink again. Should I add 2kgs at one time ?
Hi Shilpa, it depends on how frequently you are using the dishwasher and what programs you use often. If your water is hard and setting is at H4, salt consumption will be higher. You can add salt till the blinking stops.
Hi i am using all finish products (tablet,rinse aid ,salt) my water level tds is 180to220 and setting levels are l2and h2 thank you so much for your responding
You are brilliant mam I am so glad to watch your videos thank u🙏
You're welcome.
Hi bhuvana my ifb dishwasher rinse aid button always shows red after filling full chamber and also my dishes are coming with white sticky coating layer. Please help
Hi Swathi, what is your water hardness and your rinse aid setting? It appears that the rinse aid poured into the chamber is either not getting used or is leaking out somewhere. That is why your dishes have white coating layer. I would recommend that you call the service people and get it checked. Thanks.

Very informative. Thanks for sharing this and other amazing details and making our journey easy.
My LG dishwasher salt indicator hasn't turned on since my first refill. I'm using fortune salt, detergent and rise aid in Auto cycle on H4 and L2 everyday for close to 35days now. Should I be worried?
Hi Joy Viveka, Glad it was helpful! When the salt setting is at H4, the salt lasts only for 10 cycles. I think you would have used more than 10 cycles in these 35 days. So I would suggest you call for service and have the salt indicator checked.
Thanks.
Hi iam using fortune finish tablet in my dishwasher we recently took dishwasher frst 3days it worked properly but later on we have noticed white stains on the dishes don't know how to resolve that kindly give me a suggestion regarding dat
Hi Lakshmi, sorry for the delayed reply.
Generally white stains on dishes is because of hard water.
Have you checked the hardness of water in your area? Based on water hardness you have to adjust salt level setting in your machine. I have explained about this in one of my videos on dishwashers.
Also you have not told which program you used when you got these white stains?
How did you get good cleaning the first three days? Which was the program you chose in those days? Please write to me about that.
I am sharing below the link of other dishwasher demo videos in my playlist. Please watch them as i have covered lot of topics on dishwasher usage, detergent comparision, FAQs, salt and rinse aid settings, hard water etc. to name a few.

wow thanks a lot. I know only salt level, the rinse aid level is completely new. Just set from L2 (I think factory default) to L1. Thanks for the video !
Thanks Kiran.
For white residue on vessels , shall I reduce the salt setting level or increase it ?
@@ramakrishnakamepalli3683 you have to increase the sale level.
Have you tested your water and set the salt and rinse aid levels based on water hardness?

Namaste bhuvana Garu,
We recently bought a LG dishwasher,the same model in the video a week ago. The technician who installed the dishwasher has checked water quality and made me buy a water filter since hardness level is high. He just asked us to use all in one tablet and he told us that salt is not necessary since we are using a water filter. I did not check the quality of the water after buying the filter. Can you please let me know if salt and rinse aid have any effect on dishwasher quality? I mean if I don't use salt and rinseaid,will that damage my dishwasher? Please let me know.
Namaste, I am not clear what you mean by water filter. I request you to please share a photo of the filter on my email bhuvanaadis@gmail.com. I will try to help you. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Hi , I have sent the pics to your gmail ID. The technician told us that water filter filters out the hard salts. Thanks for your response.
Thanks a lot for your detailed response on gmail, it helped me understand some of the important aspects. Really appreciate your patience in answering the questions,thanks a ton.
@@BhuvanaAdi mam I have bought the machine , as the installer said all in one tablet would be more efficient so I didn't purchase the salt . I just have all in one tablet and rinse aid. The machine is new so can I start the machine or should I put fill the salt container for first time ?
@@BhuvanaAdi and mam he said salt and rinse aid isn't required if u r using all in one tablet !so if after first time filling of salt and rinse aid is it ok to place only tablet with no salt and rinse aid ?
I have been using LG dishwasher with fortune salt, detergent and rise aid for about 5 months now in H4 and L2 settings and have been having good results. I changed to finish salt, detergent and rise aid last week and ran 4 cycles and all four cycles gave dishes with white stains. I even ran a cycle with vinegar and then a machine wash with vinegar, still the same result with white stains. Please suggest your idea to get this fixed.
Hi Joy, If you are getting good results from Fortune, please continue using Fortune. And do not change the settings. Looks like your water is hard. Finish does not suit hard water. Thanks.
Hi Bhuvana,I m using tablets so need of using rinse aid and salt,how can I turn off salt and rinse aid indicator?Can h pls help me on this?
For that you have to set the salt and rinse aid setting to "zero". When you do this the indicator light will be turned off.
But use tablet without salt and rinse aid of good quality which already has enough quantity of salt and rinse aid in it for your water. Sometimes the amount of salt and rinse aid in the tablets would not be enough for your water type(if it is a bit hard), in which case you may be required to use salt and rinse aid along with the tablet, by keeping the settings of both in 1.
You have to decide this based on your water quality and wash results.
I have explained this in detail in one of videos, the link of which I am sharing below:
ua-cam.com/video/zw8le3B9w8s/v-deo.html
Thanks.
Madam,
I have purchased same dishwasher of LG (DFB424FP). It's delivered just yesterday.
I have gone through the manual and they have provided a Hardness Test Strip with the guideline to check hardness of water. I have used the strip and it shows the colour Blue not red/violet etc. And it seems that based on the results, the recommended settings H0 and we get soft water.
Our society gets filtered water from municipal corporation. However, they have installed additional filtration plant and they told it's softned. Even TDS shows only 40ppm and now the test strip assures it.
If I set H0, salt will not be required at all and also the built-in water softening system will not be activated in machine.
I am asking you for recommendation, for setting, as you know Indian conditions and you have used the machine much efficiently.
Your videos are really informative and helpful.
Thank You
Hi Kishore, congrats on your new dishwasher. I'm sure you're going to enjoy using it.
Thanks for your appreciation and your query.
From what you have written, it is clear that your water is rather very soft, almost like drinking water.
So you are right about keeping the level of salt setting to H0. But it is advisable to add a minimum amount of salt along with water, before the very first time you start using the machine, because i think the salt compartment should not be empty as per manufacturer"s instruction.
Salt will not be consumed anyway. I'll get back to you after some more research on this.
I too have soft water in my locality though not as much as yours, and I've set my salt level to H01. This way the machine parts are protected and very very less salt is consumed.
Thank you. Hope my answer helps.
@@BhuvanaAdi Madam, I would like to share the photo of one of the latest instructions leaflet, share me your email id... Kishor Taware
Hi Kishore, my email id is bhuvanaadis@gmail.com.
I've mentioned it in the description.
@@AtulKumar-sw6fc I didn't received the Dishwasher Detergent, Rinse Aid and Salt from LG at the time of installation. I couldn't find these in nearby super markets or malls. It's available only online on Amazon and Flipkart. So I have to wait for the same. I have received the detergent day before yesterday. So, I have used the dishwasher just twice. I have mixed feelings about the machine. Ceramic and Glass items are cleaned better than handwash. The Corelle Dishes are cleaned exceptionally well. However, Indian utensils couldn't be loaded that efficiently. Even wash quality of these utensils isn't satisfactory. May be need more practice. Can someone share the loading of Indian Utensils tope, cooker and cooker separators etc
Ma'am, Rinseaid settings are also based on water hardness or what? Haven't set Rinseaid settings till now.
Yes. That is also based on water hardness. Please watch my video on water hardness and how to set salt and rinse aid settings. There are three videos - one in Bosch, one in LG and the latest in Voltas Beko dishwasher. You'll get a clear idea of what is to be done.
Correct settings of salt and rinse aid will give you good wash results.
Hi Mam, watching your videos regularly ,very good.
Can you put a video to alter rinse aid level in Voltas Beko 14 place dishwasher.
I have to fill almost every 10 days. I was told 500 ml may last for 3 months, but it lasts only one month, so plz put a video.
Thanks Dr Sujatha. I have already uploaded a video of this in Voltas Beko 8 place dishwasher. You can watch that here -
ua-cam.com/video/TKO8kdDHeLw/v-deo.html
If it is the same method ( I think all Voltas Beko machines have a similar system). In case it is different, kindly check your manual. Since I do not have this 14 place dishwasher, I will not be in a position to make a video in that machine. Thanks.
Do we need to put salt if we have soft water in our area? Plz reply
Hi Ananya, that depends on how soft your water is.
In any case it is better for the machine in the long run to use salt, but you can keep the salt level at the lowest in case your water is soft. Also in case you are using a tablet, you can set the salt level to 0.
You have to try a few cycles and decide accordingly.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Hi ... I just saw your video and it's really helpful for us and just wanted to know for first time after refilling salt without utensil we should run the dishwasher, this is mentioned in manual book of LG but not sure which mode needs to be selected. It would be great if you could help on us.
Thank you. I think you can run the Express or the Turbo program without any additional options initially, before getting started with dishes.
Hello. I have the same question. So for the first I add the salt, water, and rinse aid and operate dishwasher without dishes right?
Yes, you have to run any Quick cycle without loading any dishes or adding detergent for the first time.
Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you soooo much. Just last question, after first wash do I refill salt again for my next washes or do I wait until the alert light goes on to refill?
@@princess-ec7dz No you do not have to fill salt after first wash. This first wash is to mainly remove any salt that would have spilled on the dishwasher floor.
The next salt is to be filled with you see the salt indicator light on.
Please set your salt and rinse aid levels based on your water hardness.
I've uploaded various videos on dishwashers in my channel. Please watch them to learn more details on dishwasher usage.
Thank you so much... Your tips are really helpful
You're welcome Shweta.
very useful video, great work! Technician never explained these details, and only focused on getting happy code for his 5 star rating. We have very hard water in Bangalore(tanker water), should we use H4, L3? Will there be any impact on machine performance and life in long run? H4 means more salt consumption, and L3 means more Rinse aid consumption? In this case, is it worth switching to Fortune from Finish based on your experience? Thanks!
Glad it helped Dhaval! Thanks. Have you checked your water hardness. TDS from a meter may not be an accurate measure of hardness. Get your water checked at any food/water testing lab (you can Google one) in Bangalore. Make your salt settings accordingly. Yes H4 and L3 mean more salt and rinse aid consumption.
Regarding detergent, Fortune is considered better for hard water. But still there could be exceptions. Getting to the detergent brand that works best for you is a bit tricky and involves some trial and error. You could start with Fortune and if not satisfied with the results, could try Finish, Bosch & Vim one by one. I am sure one of these will work out for you. In the meanwhile , you could also check out my detergent/tablets videos playlist in which I have shown different brands like Finish/Fortune/IFB/Crystale/Vim/Bosch in my dishwashers. I am sure that would give you some idea.

Madam do u own both Voltas beko 8place setting and LG 14place setting?
Hi Latha, I have my 9+ years old Bosch dishwasher and the Voltas table top dishwasher. I do not have LG with me, just had for a couple of months when i made the videos.
Hello mam
We have purchased this dishwasher two months back
When we are using lyzene salt and rinse aid with fortune detergent at h1 salt level ,the dishes were fine but when the salt was over
We have used Ifb dishwasher salt and rinse aid with fortune detergent
The dishes came out cloudy so when we changed to h2 level the dishes are clean
My doubt is that salt consumption differs from brand?
Is it we are using mixed brands?
When we are not using salt for two days also the dishes were not that cloudy
Pls help
Hi Sunitha, sorry for the delayed reply.
It's generally a better practice to use salt, rinse aid and detergent of the same brand for getting the same cleaning results always, with a particular salt and rinse aid setting.
From what you've written it looks like there is a difference in quality of salt and rinse aid of the two brands Lyzene and IFB, which is giving you different cleaning results.
There could be difference in formulation between brands.
Basically mixing of consumables of reputed brands should not give a problem. Even I've done this.
You better stick to the combination which suits you best giving you good cleaning.
Hi, thanx for very informative vdo. just bought lg DISHWASHER DFB532FP. While giving demo lg technician didn't add salt. He just ran the empty cycle. I've been using dishwasher since 2 days. As per lg technician, there is no need to add salt and rinse aid if u r using tablet. Right now i'm using finish power ball tablet. Should i add salt now?
Hi, that depends on your water quality. I have explained about using salt and rinse aid along with detergent or tablet in one of my videos which you can find in the playlist below;
DISHWASHER DETERGENTS/TABLETS/GEL: ua-cam.com/play/PLvZ681nV6tYpjbPPiogP2RIuDgCtx5Hg6.html
You can understand after watching the video.
Thanks.
Hi !! Thanx for the reply. I watched every vdo of yours related to dishwasher. Cleared all my queries. Thanx dear 🥰
Thank you. Glad that you watched all my videos and you found them informative.
If your water is hard, it is better to use salt and rinse aid as the tablet may not have enough salt to soften the hard water.
I've explained this in a video, please watch it to understand it better.

Hello madam. How are you? Long time since I saw a latest video from you. We finally got the lg quad wash dishwasher. It’s working satisfactorily well to begin with. Just found a few doubts during the usage. So hoping you will clear it somehow.
1) we have been using the dishwasher atleast twice everyday for the last 1 week. I found the salt indicator blink a couple of times. The installation guy did put in 1kg if salt at the beginning. After that I have put the salt again twice in this week. The blinking stopped after I added salt. But today I notice that the salt indicator started blinking again. And I have put in the salt. The entire 2kg of Crystal salt has been added in the last week. I am surprised that even after adding the salt the light is blinking repeatedly. Are we doing anything wrong? I got the water checked and the hardness level caco3 is 109mg/ml and total dissolved salts is 239 and the ph is 7.18.
Now my question is, usage of 2kg salt within a week.. is it normal? I don’t think so. I will contact the customer care regarding the same. But wanted your opinion about this.
The machine hardness level was set at h4 at the beginning by the lg demo guy. Please share your opinion regarding the same.
2) we notice that there is a thin white layer on the utensils after the wash if we leave the utensils inside for a long time. Is it normal? I am not using too much detergent. Using only till the first level 15 in the detergent compartment. Or is the salt again the culprit?
Please let me know your opinion regarding the same. Hoping to see more videos from you too.
Regards,
BDN.
Hi BDN, thanks a lot for your comments and query. Sorry I have been busy with some pressing personal commitments, hence I have not been able to post a new video for some time. I shall be posting very soon. Thanks a lot for asking.
1) Regarding the dishwasher, from what you have mentioned, you seem to be doing everything right. You are right, salt consumption of 2kg in one week is definitely very much on the higher side. I cannot think of any reason for this except the hardness setting of H4. I observed from the dishwasher manual that with H4 setting, the salt lasts only for 10 cycles. For H2 setting, the salt will last 50 cycles. This difference is huge. Since you are using dishwasher twice a day, H4 setting seems to be the only reason for high salt consumption. For the water hardness mentioned by you, I request you to set hardness level at H2 and observe for a week or two. My guess is that the consumption should drop to normal levels. If the problem still persists, then you can call for service personnel.
2) Even the thin white layer could be due to excess salt. You can observe whether there is a change in this too after changing setting to H2.
You have not mentioned which program/cycle you are using. Are all the problems in only one cycle or different cycles? And is it on all utensils?
I request you to get back after trying the above, in case there is still problem.
Thank you once again.
Bhuvana Adi
hello madam. Thank you for the quick reply. As per your experience, I think you have given the correct information. I enquired with the service centre person who also adviced me the same. I will set the hardness to h2 and post the observations in the next week. I have ordered finish salt for this time. Will be receiving it tomorrow. Will check the difference and let you know.
I have used a lot of trial and Error programs. I found that the turbo express gives me the worst cleaning. May be because if the wrong salt setting.
Turbo with steam and extra dry gives me the best result so far. But the time taken is a bit too much since it’s 1hr 56minutes. Without the extra dry, the cleaning quality is one step lower. Will be trying a few more cycles in the coming week and update the same.
Thank you again for the quick response. I will also share my experience in the comments section.
Your videos have given me so much knowledge that the demo person asked me a few things which he didn’t know or was not sure about. All thanks to your detailed video.
Will change the salt settings today and observe the changes. Thank you again. Take care.
Hi bdn, thanks for your appreciation. I'm just sharing my experience, to help my viewers.
You're right, you cannot expect good cleaning results using Turbo Express program as it is mainly for very very lightly soiled dishes like plates, cutlery, tea, coffee mugs etc.
Turbo program( without any options) gives excellent cleaning results of light to medium soiled dishes.
Whenever i have used Turbo+high temp+extra dry I've got almost 99-100% wash results.
Turbo+steam also gives about 98% cleaning results.
You can use Turbo+extra dry when you are loading more plastics (heat resistant of course), because you can always find water droplets on plastic.
It is good that you're trying out various programs by trial and error. That's the only way you can learn which is best suited for your kind of dishes based on the degree of soling.
Keep trying and exploring your wonderful machine and sharing your experience in the comment section. You can even mail with images to bhuvanaadis@gmail.com.
Your results can help me help other viewers.
Actually I've few more videos on this dishwasher which I've to edit and upload, which I'll try to do very soon.
Thanks once again for all your kind words.
Thank you so much! It's very helpful.
You are welcome. Glad that you found the video helpful.
I purchased the same model few weeks back, there seems to be some detergent left in the glasses after wash ,as i pour water in it i can see a bit of foam. I'm unable to detect the problem i have tried everything reduced the level of salt n rinse aid and i don't put a lot of detergent .can u please tell me what could be the problem?
Hi Asha Somkuwar, Sorry for the delayed reply. I seem to have missed your query. You have not mentioned about your water quality and which program you have used. If your water is good, even the level of detergent you are using may be more. If you feel detergent could be left on the glass, try reducing the detergent still. Just check before putting the detergent that the detregent compartment is dry and clean. Sometimes when we load wet utensils in bottom rack, some water drops could get into the detergent compartment, so please try to remove and dry that before putting fresh detergent. Please try the above and check whether the problem gets reduced or solved. Thank you.
I had bought a LG dishwasher a. Month ago . There a residual of foam left out on the utensils . So how can I fix that issue . We had seen ur video like two days ago . We had changed the settings according to your video we had changed the settings but there is no difference so can u please suggest a solution
Hi sorry for the delayed reply. You have not mentioned what detergent you are using regularly and what are your salt and rinse settings.
Also let me know your water quality - soft or hard.
Then, I can tell you a few solutions.
Thanks.
Ma'am, does the machine intimates us when the salt finishes?
Yes there salt light indicator will glow with the salt needs to be refilled.
Thank you
You are welcome.
Mam you are giving good informatio
Thank you.
If salt indicator starts blinking during a wash cycle then what ti do? Shall allow to complete the cycle. Pl advise as I am having the issue now.
Hi Sudipta, you can wait for the cycle to complete. You can refill once the cycle completes or just before the next cycle.
Hi ma'am,bought lg dishwasher in this lockdown after seeing your video and feedback given by you..I am facing a problem since I started using..dishes and utensils are getting dry but dishwasher remains wet inside..what can be the reason.. please guide.. thanks in advance
Hi Ruby, do you mean the whole floor of dishwasher is wet? It will take some time for the machine inside to dry. Do not open the door immediately after a wash. Give some 10 minutes and then open the door slightly. After some time, open the door fully. The water inside will then evaporate. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi yes ma'am water droplets will be everywhere inside the dishwasher..is it normal?yes I tried opening after 10 minutes..I kept it closed over night n opened it in the morning..but same problem..now there is a formation of white dots on cooker n kadhai..could it be a defective piece?using dishwasher first time so no idea..I am using finish products only..
I am not able to attach the pics ☹️
@@tunikisaumya4202 Do not leave it unopened for a long time after completion. Please ensure the timing of cycle completion in such a manner that you are able to open the door within 10 or 15 minutes. The drying is by condensation which is the reason for water collection if kept unopened a long time after completion. There is nothing wrong with the machine.

Mam how areu l am enjoying washing vessels in dish washer.but iam facing problem in salt chamber. What happened means first time i filled salt and one liter water. 4 to 5 times iwashed vessels in Dish washer.then the salt icon indicates on the digital display.i thought my salt has finished in dish washer and ihave opened the salt chamber ifound that water is full in chamber when first time when ihave poured that water only .then also ihave added some salt to that water. Then some water came out and drained.but on display salt icon is blinking ..still icant understand why. Water still left after 6 cycles.
Hi Lakshmi, first of all you have not mentioned as to how much salt you've added initially with one litre of water. Also based on your water hardness, you have to adjust the salt level setting. Because the factory setting is H02. I've explained all this in the video. Please watch my video showing filling of salt for the first time in the LG dishwasher to know more details.
This salt icon would have started blinking as you wouldn't have filled adequate amount of salt the first time. Water in the salt dispenser is normal and you've to fill the required amount of salt even if the water runs out. Even on adding salt, water will still in the dispenser, don't bother about the water coming out and stop filling salt.
Check your salt level setting.
Thank you.
Good mam
Mam i can't get the water tested in lab at my place. Help me with approximate salt and rinse aid setting for municipal water
Hi, I'm sure you must be using the same water in your washing machine, how do you find the cleaning in that?
Municipal water is mostly soft, for which the salt and rinse aid settings can be kept at the minimum level. If cleaning is not satisfactory, you can increase it to the next level.
Ma’am is salt and rinse aid required even if you are using finish tablets ?
Salt and rinse aid is needed in addition to using tablets if the water is very hard. Thank you.
Water in my area is fine and I'm using tablets what settings should I use for rince aid and salt as it keeps blinking and sending me messages to add rinse aid and salt. Pld advice
Madam i have purchased same dishwasher like you have and today I added salt rinse it and used 3 washes and its salt icon is blinking continuously help me madam i have added 1kg salt and water
Hi Ram, when you added salt and rinse aid, did you check the respective settings? Usually the machine comes with a factory setting. You've to adjust the setting according to the hardness of the water in your locality. If your water is very hard or if your setting is at maximum, salt and rinse aid will get over soon. Please check that first.
Adjust your setting properly, refill salt again and run a few cycles to check whether the same thing happens. Let me know about it. Hopefully your problem should be solved. If possible check your water hardness.
@@BhuvanaAdi the level of use is 2
Hi Ram, by level 2 if you mean that your salt setting level at 2, then your salt should last for 50 cycles as per the manual. If you've added 1kg the salt light shouldn't be blinking after 3 wash cycles.
Madam what i can do my mother is not able to wash the utensils because of skin problem in hands and she got sad after the result of dishwasher if you have idea plz help me
Mam just 5 day back i purchased this model but after 4 days it shows continued blinking salt indicate even 1to 4 any setting. Only if set on 0 then stop blinking. Pl. Suggested.
I think it should stop blinking within 2-3 wash cycles. If it doesn't you can give a complaint to the company.

Hi Sangeetha, many buyers of late have reported the problem of machine not resuming from same point after power cut. I did not face this problem when I used the machine last year for 2 months during which time I made the videos. Normally it should resume from the start of wash, rinse or dry section depending on when the power goes.
I am not sure whether this issue is only in the current lot. You could definitely clarify about this with the engineer. Thanks.
Mam as par lg launch date is april 2020 so how did you purchased last year & why you used only for 2 months .
@Sangeeta Vishwaroop I got it from a friend to make videos for my channel for the benefit of my viewers. I had it between July and September, last year. They had just started selling it last year and it was available online too. Thanks.
Mam my salt container is full of water. And how should ihave to add salt in the chamber. Please solve my problem.because digital display showing always salt indicator icon continuously when washing cycle is running on.

Hi mam in my dishwasher three dots between Wi-Fi and salt indicator is blinking while washing. What is this pls help me iam new to lg dishwasher
Sorry for the delayed reply. This means that your salt indicator is blinking and your salt needs to be refilled if you've already filled salt. Else you've to fill salt for the first time. I've explained about this in the video below:
ua-cam.com/video/pIFZpinuMbU/v-deo.html
Hope you have set the salt level based on your water hardness.
Please watch all my videos covering different aspects on the LG dishwasher in the playlist given below:

Hi. Our water is quite hard. The reading says 1370ppm. Can I use a softener filter while installation to counter this problem? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Hi Sindhu, Please check the water hardness after the softener. If it comes less than 900 ppm then you can use. Actually 750 ppm or less would be better but there are a lot of people who are using with hardness upto 900 ppm. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you ma'am. When I rested using tds meter the reading was 1370ppm. I gave water sample to a lab and found that the hardness alone is about 650. So I got my Faber tabletop home 🪄 wish me luck. Your videos have been immensely helpful!
@@Sindhumagnil that's wonderful. I'm sure you will enjoy the smooth and effortless dishwashing experience with your new dishwasher.
Congratulations and good luck to you. Happy dishwashing! 👍
Thanks a lot
You are welcome.
After adding salt in LG dishwasher , After 3 cycles again the salt light is on. If I put salt the dishes come out with white layer on it. Now the Salt Indicator light is on but dishes are coming out sparkling clean. I tried this 3 times. In one month I have used 4 kgs of salt. Please let me know if you have any clue and LG service executive are clueless
Hi Nishu, can you please give me more details like what is the TDS and what is your water hardness setting.
Also how many loads you wash per day and which program cycles you select?
Which detergent brand are you using?
If I get the above details, I can help you accordingly.
Thank you madam 😘
You are welcome Bhavana.
Nicely explained
Thank you.
Could you please tell me how to adjust the salt and rinse aid settings in Neptune VX dishwasher
Hi Lina, do you have a manual of your machine?
@@BhuvanaAdi I do. But I'm unable to figure out how to make the adjustments
In case you have your manual with you, you can refer to page 14 for salt setting and page 16 for rinse aid setting.
For salt setting :
1. Hold down the P(program) button and switch ON Power.
2. Hold P button till SL goes off from display.
3. You will now see the previous salt setting.
4. Adjust the setting by pressing the + or - button on the display screen.
5. For saving the setting, switch OFF power button.
For rinse aid setting :
1. Open the rinse aid compartment. You can see markings 1 to 6 inside.
2. Rinse aid level adjuster can be set to any position using a screw driver.
Hope my answer helps you.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you very much
Demo guy told me to use tablets then they setted as per it needed but they didn't add any salt or rinceaid to machine they said everything is in the tablet no need of other things the water we use is not amuch hard because we drink same I stay in village and water we get from borwell to home is it correct mam what they did,?
You can fill salt and keep it in lowest setting, even if your water is not very hard.
Using rinse is your personal choice.
Hi, I have ifb dishwasher n i mnusinv finish tablets. First 1 week results are good after that white spote on utensils. As I our arae tds level is 900.we called technician he filled salt (setting 4)and rinse aid (setting 3).and he install water softener as well in machine. Again we found the quality is not very good. Some white spots are there. I am using daily cycle which last for 1 hour 20 minutes.
Can h please help me to get the right setting of salt and rinse aid.
Hi Amruta, what changes did you make after the 1st week, in terms of program cycle selected, tablet or detergent used other than that softener was installed?
If you have got good cleaning results
in the first week, you should get the same results later as well.
Why don't you try using Fortune or IFB detergent? It is seen that for many people Fortune and IFB detergents works better than Finish in hard water. Try and get back. For tablets the present settings should be okay but if you are using detergent, you may need to increase salt setting by one or two levels. Increase rinse aid also be one level. Try and get back to me.
@@BhuvanaAdi hi yes technician installed external water softener. N I m using ifb detergent only. N salt setting is 4 and rinse aid is 3.can i make changes in salt and rinse aid setting.
Yes, you can increase the salt setting by 1 level first. If it gives good cleaning, stick to it. Else keep at the maximum.
Also increase rinse aid by one level.
Also try out other program cycles as well and note how the cleaning is.
@@BhuvanaAdi previously it was 5 salt... But white marks are there.. Is there anything that we have water softener as well so what is the salt and rinse aid setting with water softener .. Will definitely try with different settings
I have refilled the salt. But after refilling The utensils are coming out salty with rough surface. My salt setting and rinse aid settings are as before H3 and L3. For last 30 cycles I never faced this issue. I am using Finish detergent with finish salt and rinse aid. My dishwasher brand is LG. Could you help me regarding this issue. Should I lower the salt and rinse aid levels?
I m generally using the turbo with extra Dry and Auto with extra dry mode. Both the modes gave excellent results till now. Initially I have used finish all in one max tablets but now for about 10 days I am using Finish detergent with no issue’s whatsoever. Hence I am a little worried. Whether there is insufficient salt though the indicator is off. Pl advise.
Hi Sudipta, sorry for the delay in replying. Your both queries seem a bit contradictory. You have said you are using Finish detergent now and with H3, L3 you are getting salty and rough surface. During previous 30 cycles, was salt present in salt chamber?
Also you have written that you got good results with Quantum max and also said that with Finish detergent there are no issues. Does this mean you are getting good cleaning? Or bad cleaning?
Before setting salt level, please check your water hardness.
I feel from what you have written you have hard water and you will need to increase the salt setting to H4. Try for some cycles and see whether you get good results. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi madam I am having another issue. Even after filling the salt the salt icon starts blinking during a wash cycle ( in the first cycle itself after refilling). However at the time if switching on the machine the icon is not blinking. What may be the reason? Should I pour more salt? Pl advise.
Hi Sudipta, did you add water while filling salt the very first time? If the light is blinking it means the salt quantity would be less. You can add more salt.
Btw, what is the salt setting you have kept in your machine?
@@BhuvanaAdi Madam 1st time the service tech poured the salt with water. After that when the icon started blinking I have poured the salt. This is 3rd refilling when I got faced the issue. My salt setting is H4,as advised by you and after setting it at H4 my earlier problem of white stains are gone.
Mam my water tds 1000 I am using finish tablets but wash quality is very poor I am already setting H4 and l4 changed but still I have a problem
Hi suneetha888522, based on my experience and some feedback from my viewers, it is seen that Fortune gives better results than Finish. Finish gives excellent results if the water is soft. So I can suggest you try using Fortune detergent or tablet and observe the results. Your TDS of 1000 is on the higher side and you have rightly set the salt and rinse aid at the highest level. If you are still not getting good results with Fortune, I would suggest trying the option of connecting soft water supply to the dishwasher or an in line water softener. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Mam..my dishwasher is stopping at 01 min and not drying dishes...some times showing be error...no support from customer service...water is not draining too
Please give a solution
I tried with milk bowl
Hi, there could be a problem with the heater. Please give complaint to the company and get it repaired by them.
Some kind of sound is coming from dishwasher. What can it be. I checked twice by opening door. But nothing was coming in its fan path still noise is comin
@Prap P, From here, I am not able to say what could be that sound. You could run the machine empty for 10 to 15 minutes to check whether the sound is still coming. If you are sure it is some abnormal sound, then it is better to call the service person and get it checked out if the machine is still under warranty. Thanks.
What about Bosch dishwasher?
Hi Alice, I have my Bosch dishwasher and am still using the same. But I got this LG dishwasher through a friend demo purposes. I had it for some days. Thanks.
Hello mam, I have seen your lots of videos before I purchased dishwasher. Thanks for guiding through video.
I have got Bosch dishwasher during this lockdown. Experience is really good for dishwasher. I stay in Mumbai and hardness of water is not much hence, I kept both salt and rinse aid to 1. But sometimes I observed while filling up the water glass it has too much of bubbles. Do you know why this can happen? I am using Finish products.
Hi Gauri, thank you for your kind words.
Happy that your experience with dishwasher is very good. I am aware of the water quality in Mumbai, it is very very soft.
I presume you're using detergent, salt and rinse aid and not tablets. Because for your water, detergent itself will give very good cleaning results.
1. If you're using tablets, you can try keeping both salt and rinse aid setting to level 0.
2. If you're using detergent, then reduce the quantity of detergent. Use correct quantity based on how soiled your dishes are.
3. If still you get soapy bubbles, make rinse aid setting to 0.
Try the above and observe it for a few cycles. Whichever of the above gives best results, you can stick to that.
I'm sure your problem will get solved. Please share your experience here once the problem is solved.
Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi yes I am using all 3 separately. Detergent I use depending upon soiled vassals As you suggested I will try to make rinse aid to 0.
@Bhuvana Adi, is tablet the solution for this problem?
No. You can use detergent and salt at the lowest setting. Try rinse aid at zero.
Tablet may leave your dishes soapy unless used in long cycle.
Madam you are really great because I have LG dishwasher for purchase can you are gardens is very very very very perfect so I would like to thank you because perfect knowledge and guidance is very mast so I will thank thanks to you please send the other lg dishwasher video thanks for the guidance and perfection
Thanks a lot 👍

Hi
I recently bought lg dishwasher
We have filled the salt in container but still salt indicator is blinking.
Technichian first added 1kg salt nd then water
Hi Heenal, how is your water quality? Have you adjusted salt setting according to that? Because the factory setting will be H04, you've to set it to suit your water type. Higher the setting, more salt will be consumed.
Anyway wait for 2-3 cycles, to see if salt indicator is still blinking. It should go off by 2-3 cycles, because by then the salt would have fully dissolved.. If it is still blinking, please let me know.
Also let me know what your salt setting is.
Hope you find my answer helpful.
@@BhuvanaAdi k.thanks a lot
@@BhuvanaAdi hey I saw ur video nd check it
Actually technician didn't fill the water till top,as I filled it
That indicator stopped blinking
Thank you so much
@@BhuvanaAdi one more thing I keep turbo 1hr cycle without extra dry.
Is it okay even if we have vessels like in which I prepare khichdi,as it sticks in the bottom a lot
That's good Heenal, that your problem got solved.
You can try out by trial and error for such sticky dishes to find out which cycle gives better cleaning. Turbo is mainly for moderately soiled dishes. You can try using with high temperature.
Super mam
Thank you.
Is rinse aid is harmful for health?
Hi kavitha babu, although rinse aid is a chemical, it is only harmful if directly consumed.
The rinse aid helps in drying dishes by increasing the surface tension of water, thus helping in evaporation. So they won't be deposited on the dishes. Having said this, it is always a good practice to wash your dishes before use. I follow this always, whether my dishes are hand washed or machine washed.
You can avoid using rinse aid if you're very concerned about health risks. In that case, you can leave the door open after completion of wash cycle, for a while so that dishes dry naturally.
Hope I've cleared your doubts.
Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi very good explanation
Hi madam I bought this model last year out service person didn’t add salt in it it runs until now salt icon blinking now fills 750 grams of finish salt still this salt icon blinking wt do I do . How many times I cald service person he didn’t come as it it is Caron lockdown dishes have lot of white spots please help me
You have to fill at least 1 kg salt in one filling. White spots are because of no salt and hence limescale formation on utensils and appliance parts. If light is blinking add some more salt. Hope you added water along with the salt the first time. After this you should get clean dishes. Please let me know. Thanks.
And my salt icon continuously blinking after. Filling salt andfull of water In salt chamber .
Hi Lakshmi, you would have stopped adding salt after seeing the water coming out of the salt compartment,. Which is a wrong thing to do.
Mam thanku and u said ihave stopped adding water. Means i have to add salt fully in that water only. The container is full of water mam.please reply. And ihave seen ur videoes about filling salt in the container.
@@Lakshmirathik158 Yes Lakshmi, only the first time you have to add water and salt. After that, every time the salt light comes on, you have to add only salt in the water. Don't worry if the container is full of water. Don't stop if the water overflows when adding salt. Keep on adding salt good quantity like 1/2 kg or 1 kg. Hope it is clear. Thanks.
Mam its very helpful your explanation .and thanks for ur reply .really imean it .
Hi Lakshmi, Yes k you have to add water only the very first time. Every other time the salt icon blinks, you've to just add enough salt as per your requirement and consumption. Hope you're clear now.
