Dacor dish care — the Rinse Refill indicator lights up

What to do when Rinse Refill shows on the home applianceKind of codeReminders, 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.

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.

Dacor kitchens tend to combine pro-style gas cooking, steam-assisted ovens and column refrigeration, so a visit looks after burners, scale and coils together.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for Rinse Refill on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open the rinse aid compartment door on the detergent dispenser.
Fill the compartment with a liquid rinse aid as specified by the rinse aid manufacturer, without overfilling.
Turn the rinse aid dial to the setting the manual recommends for the household's water hardness.
If the indicator stays lit after a confirmed refill, book a visit to check the dispenser 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
Rinse Refill reports an empty reservoir, not a dishwasher that has stopped draining or cleaning — those point to the filter or pump instead of the rinse aid supply.

A booking goes further when it has the reminder or code as shown, the model number from the rating plate, and a word on when that filter, screen or tub was last cleaned. With those three, the office can pack the right filter or cleaner for your appliance.
