Salty taste after dishwashing

[tiggerblue10]

Haven't used my dishwasher in ages but I used it yesterday and I've just made a coffee and the mug has a salty taste to it. I poured the coffeee into a different mug that was also washed in the dishwasher and got the same taste. What have I done wrong? Its a Hoover and I used the Daily 60" setting.

Did you do a cycle before you used it?

[mountainboo]

Sorry I mean't an empty cycle

[tiggerblue10]

No.

Should I? If so, what setting mountainboo?

Could be Salt from water softener getting into washing chamber?

[tiggerblue10]

Maybe I've over-done it with the salt crystals.

[Teddy_boy]

Common problem , you may even have spilt some salt when filling or the washer hasnt rinsed completely.

I do sometimes have a problem with that Teddy. I need to get a funnel. Wonder how many washes will that take to wash away :o(

[Teddy_boy]

3 cycles should do it in my experience.

[tiggerblue10]

Thanks Teddy. I'll do a couple of empty cycles.
