How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing spray arms if accessing from below.
- Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the Bosch filter assembly.
- Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms and clear all jets with a toothpick. Rinse under running water.
- Check water temperature: Ensure the hot water supply is at least 49–60°C (120–140°F) at the tap.
- Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
- Avoid overloading: Do not block spray arms with large items. Load dishes so water can reach all surfaces.
- Circulation pump check: If performance remains poor and spray pressure seems weak, the circulation pump may be failing and require replacement.
