How to Fix SALT SYMBOL (S-SHAPED ARROWS) Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Pull out the bottom rack completely to access the floor of the dishwasher.
2. Locate the large, round cap for the salt reservoir, usually off to one side.
3. Unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise and set it aside. It is normal to see water inside the reservoir.
4. Insert the funnel that came with your dishwasher into the opening.
5. Pour only dishwasher-specific salt into the funnel until the reservoir is completely full.
6. Remove the funnel and wipe away any loose salt granules from the threads of the opening.
7. Screw the cap back on tightly and run a short rinse cycle to distribute the salt and clear the sensor.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
