Possible Causes

Clogged spray arms, Dirty filters and sump, Low water temperature, Weak circulation pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing internal components.

  • Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the coarse and fine filters at the bottom of the tub.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Rinse under running water and use a toothpick to clear clogged jets.
  • Check water temperature: Run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting the dishwasher. Ensure incoming water is at least 120°F (49°C).
  • Inspect circulation pump: If cleaning does not help and spray pressure seems weak, the circulation pump may be failing and require replacement.
  • Use proper detergent: Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent and avoid overloading the racks.
