Safety First: No internal electrical work is required.

  • Use rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and set the dosage higher for hard water.
  • Adjust detergent: Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent. Reduce the amount if you see gritty residue; increase slightly if film persists.
  • Clean spray arms and filters: Remove and clean spray arms and filters to ensure strong water flow.
  • Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the top rack to remove mineral buildup from the tub and plumbing.
