Dishwasher runs, but dishes come out dirty; food residues remain on plates and glasses.

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing spray arms, especially if you need to work near sharp edges.

• Step 1 – Clean filters:
  • Remove and thoroughly clean the filter assembly with hot water and a brush.
• Step 2 – Clean spray arms:
  • Remove the upper and lower spray arms.
  • Rinse and clear all jets with a toothpick or a small brush.
  • Ensure they rotate freely once reinstalled.
• Step 3 – Check loading:
  • Ensure large items are not blocking the rotation of the spray arms.
  • Do not nest bowls or stack dishes in a way that prevents water from reaching their surfaces.
• Step 4 – Detergent and temperature:
  • Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
  • Run a hotter program (e.g., Intensive) to verify performance.
• Step 5 – Circulation pump:
  • If cleaning and loading are correct, but spray pressure seems weak, the circulation pump may be worn and require replacement.

Regular maintenance cleaning with a dishwasher cleaner helps maintain optimal wash performance.
