Dishes are not getting clean; food remains on items after a full cycle.

Safety First: Internal cleaning can be done with power on; avoid sharp edges on racks and spray arms.

• Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms if possible and rinse under water. Use a toothpick to clear clogged jets.
• Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink until hot before starting the dishwasher. Aim for at least 120°F (49°C).
• Use proper detergent: Use a high-quality detergent recommended for Cove dishwashers and adjust quantity based on water hardness.
• Do not overload: Ensure dishes are not nested and that spray can reach all surfaces.
• When to call for service: If performance remains poor and you hear weak spray, the circulation pump or turbidity sensor may need professional evaluation.
