Possible Causes

Blocked spray arms, Weak circulation pump, Blocked filters reducing flow on AEG dishwasher

Safety first: Turn off power before removing spray arms.

Clean filters: Ensure all filters are spotless to maximize water flow.
Clean spray arms: Remove and flush both upper and lower spray arms, clearing all jets.
Check pump sound: During wash, listen for strong spraying noise. A weak or absent sound suggests a failing circulation pump.
Replace pump if needed: If cleaning does not restore performance, the circulation pump may need replacement.
