How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing spray arms if accessing from below.

  • Clean filters: Remove and wash the filters under warm running water to remove grease and debris.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms and clear all jets with a toothpick. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Use hot water: Run the kitchen sink until water is hot before starting the dishwasher to ensure a hot fill.
  • Check detergent and loading: Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent and avoid overloading racks, which can block spray patterns.
  • If performance remains poor: The circulation pump may be weak and require replacement.
