Dishwasher runs but dishes are not cleaned properly; spray arms barely move.

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the machine to cool before handling internal parts.

• Clean filters: Remove and wash all filters under hot water to remove grease and food particles.
• Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Rinse and clear each jet with a toothpick or small brush.
• Check water level: During a wash, open the door briefly (if safe) and verify that the water level reaches just below the door seal. If low, inspect the water inlet valve and flow meter.
• Inspect pump inlet: Look into the sump for obstructions at the pump intake and remove any debris.
