Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Cove's own guidance for Add rinse aid. Press Enter once added, or press Cancel to ignore. on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Open the rinse aid dispenser and refill it to the fill line.

02

Press Enter to confirm and clear the message.

03

If the message returns quickly after a full dispenser, book a visit to check the dosing mechanism.

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

This message does not report a failed dispenser; Cove's own guide treats it as a routine low-level prompt cleared by refilling. Repeated fast returns after a full refill are the only reason to look further.

All problems

No service indicated

Nothing to service.

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.

In Cove's own words

Questions
about Add rinse aid. Press Enter once added, or press Cancel to ignore..

Can I clear Add rinse aid. Press Enter once added, or press Cancel to ignore. myself?
Open the rinse aid dispenser and refill it to the fill line. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Can this message be dismissed without adding rinse aid?
Yes, Cove's own guide gives a Cancel option, though performance and spotting on glassware usually suffer until rinse aid is actually added.
Does the detergent already include rinse aid?
Some combined detergents include a form of rinse aid, but Cove's own troubleshooting for drying issues still checks that the dedicated dispenser has rinse aid in it even when a combined product is used.
How often does the dispenser need refilling?
It depends on the dosage setting and how many cycles are run; a household seeing the message often can check the dosage setting described in the user setup section of the guide.
