Café's dishwasher manual documents Low Rinse as a plain reservoir-level display, separate from any wash-cycle failure, that appears whenever the rinse agent runs out. Café home appliance display What to do when Low Rinse indicator shows on the home appliance ### Kind of code Reminders, not failures Nothing has broken; the appliance has been counting hours, cycles or gallons and is asking for its routine care. A refrigerator lights a filter icon after about six months of water, a front-load washer suggests a tub-clean cycle after a set number of loads, a steam oven or a dishwasher asks for descaling or rinse aid, and some dryers remind you to check the exhaust. Do the task the reminder names, reset it the way the manual describes, and write the date in the service record. ### Usually leads to No service Open the rinse-agent dispenser and refill it with a dishwasher-rated rinse agent. ### Shows up as Dishes Coming Out Gritty or Spotted: Filter, Spray Arms and Rinse Aid Dishes coming out gritty are plates and glasses with sandy specks, dried food, a white film or spots after a full cycle, often worse on the upper rack or in one corner. ### Make Café Café owners usually book for the refrigerator's water filter and coil, the range's burners and hood, and sometimes a Café laundry pair with its lint path. ### Source Café dishwasher owner's manual Applies to Café dishwasher models with the on-display Low Rinse indicator (some models only). ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Café's own guidance for Low Rinse indicator on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Open the rinse-agent dispenser and refill it with a dishwasher-rated rinse agent. 02 Confirm the Low Rinse indicator clears after the next cycle with a full reservoir. 03 Turn the indicator off manually per the manual's button sequence if it needs to be hidden between refills. 04 Wipe up any spilled rinse agent right away to avoid foam building up inside the tub. ### Cleared? The reminder is gone from the display, the filter, the screen or the tub has been cleaned or swapped, and the appliance runs a full cycle without calling for it again. A clean-filter light or a descale prompt that returns in days rather than months usually means the part it watches is fouling faster than normal, so mention that when you book. ### What not to do Low Rinse is a supply-level display, not a dispenser-motor or control-board failure; the dishwasher runs its cycle normally either way, just with more spotting on glassware. ## What you may notice with it.

Open the rinse-agent dispenser and refill it with a dishwasher-rated rinse agent. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How do I clear the Low Rinse indicator? Refill the rinse-agent dispenser; the indicator is tied to the reservoir level and clears once it's topped up. ### Can I turn the Low Rinse indicator off if I don't use rinse agent? Yes — Café's manual gives a button sequence (pressing Pre-Soak or Steam five times within five seconds) to turn the indicator on or off. ### Does Low Rinse mean the dish care won't finish its cycle? No — the cycle runs normally either way; without rinse agent, dishes may spot more or dry more slowly. --- **[Read on the site: Café dish care — Low Rinse indicator](https://appliancemaintenance.center/error-codes/cafe-low-rinse-indicator/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceMaintenance.center](https://appliancemaintenance.center/schedule/)**
