Dishwasher leaves gritty particles or sand-like residue on dishes.

Safety first: Turn off the dishwasher before cleaning internal parts.

• 1. Clean filters: Remove and wash all filters thoroughly to remove trapped food and grit.
• 2. Spray arms: Remove and flush spray arms under running water. Clear each jet with a toothpick.
• 3. Check drain connection: Ensure the drain hose is connected above the water level in the sink trap and that the spigot is not blocked, to prevent backflow.
• 4. Loading: Avoid stacking dishes so closely that water cannot reach all surfaces.
• 5. Test: Run a hot cycle with the dishwasher empty except for a few glasses to confirm the issue is resolved.
