Dishwasher runs but dishes come out dirty; food particles remain and spray arms seem weak.

Safety first: Turn off power before removing internal parts.

• Clean filters: Remove the lower rack and take out the fine and coarse filters. Rinse under warm water and scrub with a soft brush.
• Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Rinse and use a toothpick to clear any blocked jets.
• Inspect sump: Look down into the sump area for debris. Remove any foreign objects.
• Use proper detergent: Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the water temperature at the sink is at least 120°F (49°C).

Repair action: If cleaning does not restore performance and water pressure from the spray arms remains weak, the circulation pump may be worn and should be replaced.
