One of the reasons we rented Lookout was that it had a dishwasher but we soon realised it wasn’t working correctly! After consulting the instruction manual we went out & purchased dishwasher salt & rinse aid but this didn’t make it any better. By the second week we had given up on the dishwasher & had reverted to hand washing the dishes etc which we hadn’t really anticipated & found it to be a chore - not what we wanted on holiday! I think the machine needs a service or replacement.
