Possible Causes

Clogged wash arms or jets, Low wash pump pressure, Incorrect or insufficient detergent, Low wash water temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow hot water to cool before removing wash arms.

Improving wash results:

  • Clean wash arms: Remove upper and lower Champion wash arms. Use a small brush or toothpick to clear each jet nozzle of debris and scale. Rinse thoroughly and reinstall.
  • Check tank strainers: Ensure tank strainers and scrap baskets are in place and cleaned daily to maintain pump performance.
  • Verify detergent type and dosing: Use only Champion-approved commercial detergent. Work with your chemical supplier to confirm correct concentration.
  • Confirm wash temperature: Observe the wash temperature gauge. If below specification, troubleshoot the wash heater and thermostat.
  • Load dishes correctly: Avoid nesting bowls and stacking items so spray can reach all surfaces.

When to call a technician: If wash pressure is low despite clean arms and strainers, the wash pump or motor may require professional service.
