Dishwasher Troubleshooting: Low salt indicator

Bosch dishwasher open full

What is dishwasher salt?

Dishwasher salt is made of sodium chloride and helps your dishwasher optimize the performance and results. Since dishwasher salt effectively softens water, these heavy deposits of limescale will not accumulate in your dishwasher and will help keep your dishes looking cleaner on top of helping avoid spots and watermarks.

What to do if the dishwasher salt indicator is on?

When you see the error code for low salt or the low salt indicator is on, simply add more salt. Softening salt helps soften hard water for a better clean. To learn more, view our 'How to Add Salt' video on our How-to Video page
