How to Check the Water Softener Level in Your Electrolux Dishwasher
If you’ve invested in an Electrolux dishwasher, you’re likely aiming for spotless dishes without the hassle. One critical factor that can affect your dishwasher’s performance is the water softener. In this guide, we’ll go through how to check the water softener level in your Electrolux dishwasher and why it’s important. What is the Water Softener? The water softener in your dishwasher is designed to eliminate calcium and magnesium from the water. These minerals are responsible for water hardness, which can cause unsightly stains and residues on your dishes. Therefore, it’s essential to adjust the water softener level according to the hardness of water in your area. Why Adjust the Water Softener? Improved Cleaning: Soft water helps detergents work more effectively, ensuring your dishes come out clean and sparkling. Prolongs Appliance Life: Prevents limescale build-up, which can shorten the lifespan of your dishwasher. Optimal Performance: Ensures that the dishwasher operates efficiently, reducing energy and water consumption.

How to Check the Water Softener Level
Step 1: Understand the Hardness Level
Contact your local water authority for details on the hardness of the water in your area. The hardness is usually measured in degrees, such as °dH (German degrees), °fH (French degrees), or in millimoles per liter (mmol/l). Step 2: Locate the Water Softener Settings
Turn on your dishwasher. Access Setting Mode: Press and hold the ‘On/Off’ button for about 3 seconds to activate the display. Navigate to Water Softener Settings: Use the ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ buttons to cycle through the settings until you find the water softener level. Step 3: Check the Current Level
The current water softener level will be displayed, typically ranging from 1 to 10. Level 1: Very soft water (less than 4 °dH)
Level 10: Very hard water (more than 50 °dH)
Step 4: Adjust the Water Softener Level

While in setting mode, use ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ to find the correct hardness level based on the table provided in the manual.
