Dishwasher runs but dishes are not cleaned properly; food remains on plates and glasses are cloudy.

Safety first: Switch off the dishwasher before removing internal components.

• Clean filters thoroughly: Remove all filters and wash under hot water with a brush to remove grease and debris.
• Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms, flush them, and clear all jets with a toothpick.
• Check water hardness settings: Ensure the softener setting matches your local water hardness and that the salt reservoir is filled with dishwasher salt.
• Use correct detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher tablets or powder and ensure rinse aid is filled.
• Assess pump performance: During a wash, listen for strong spraying. If weak, the circulation pump may be worn and require replacement.
