My dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser keeps leaking, even though it's filled to the correct level with Finish products. What am I doing wrong?

There are several causes and fixes for leaking dishwasher rinse aid dispensers:

Make sure you haven't overfilled the dispenser. A slight overflow can cause leaks, so fill it to the recommended level.

If overfilling isn't the problem, the dispenser mechanism may be. Cracks or wear could cause leaks over time. In such cases, wipe up spilled rinse aid and fill to the right level. If the issue persists, consult your dishwasher's manual or contact the manufacturer or repairman.

Mineral buildup or dried residue can clog the dispenser. Clean the dispenser with warm water and mild dish soap to remove blockages. Reaching tight spaces may require a cotton swab or pipe cleaner.

Finally, use Finish Quantum pod-compatible rinse aid. Finish products are compatible, but using a different rinse aid may cause issues. Use Finish Rinse Aid for optimal performance and leak prevention.
