Possible Causes

Clogged Electrolux filters, Blocked spray arm jets, Incorrect loading blocking spray, Weak circulation pump, Using wrong detergent or hard water without rinse aid

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing spray arms.

  • Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the filter system to restore water flow.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove and flush spray arms, clearing all jets with a toothpick.
  • Check loading: Avoid nesting dishes and blocking the detergent dispenser. Ensure water can reach all surfaces.
  • Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and add rinse aid, especially in hard water areas.
  • Check pump performance: If cleaning remains poor, the circulation pump may be weak and require testing or replacement.
