Possible Causes
Clogged spray arms, Dirty filter and sump, Low water temperature, Weak circulation pump
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water before removing spray arms if working underneath; internal cleaning can be done with power off at the control.
- Clean filter: Remove and thoroughly clean the filter under hot water.
- Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Rinse and clear all jets with a toothpick and hot water.
- Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
- Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher to ensure incoming water is around 120°F (49°C).
- Inspect circulation: If cleaning remains poor after maintenance, the circulation pump may be weak and require replacement.
