Discoloration of silver or aluminium items after washing in the dishwasher

Resolution

Issue:

• Discoloration of silver or aluminium items after washing in the dishwasher

Applies to:

• integrated dishwasher
• freestanding dishwasher

Resolution:

1. Do not wash silver or aluminum items in the dishwasher.

Aluminum and silver items can turn black due to air, sulfur and water reacting.

• When these items are washed, black deposits are left on other items, the baskets, and the inside of the dishwasher.
• Some silver items only have a thin coating of silver and are not recommended for washing in the dishwasher.
