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

  • Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean all filters in the sump.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms, rinse under running water, and use a toothpick to clear blocked jets.
  • Check loading: Ensure large items do not block the rotation of spray arms and that dishes are not nested together.
  • Use proper detergent: Use quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the salt and rinse aid levels are correct for your water hardness.
  • Run hot maintenance cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with dishwasher cleaner to remove grease from internal pipes and the circulation pump.
