Dishes are not getting clean; food remains stuck on after a full cycle.

Safety First: Turn off power if removing lower components.

• 1. Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the filter assembly under running water.
• 2. Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Use a toothpick to clear clogged jets and rinse well.
• 3. Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink until hot before starting the dishwasher. Ensure the water heater is set to at least 120°F (49°C).
• 4. Verify detergent and loading: Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent and avoid blocking spray arms with large items. Do not nest dishes.
• 5. Assess circulation pump: If spray pressure seems weak even after cleaning, the circulation pump may be failing and should be replaced.

Improved cleaning should be noticeable after one or two properly loaded and maintained cycles.
