Possible Causes

Items protruding from racks blocking spray arms, Clogged spray arm nozzles, Misinstalled spray arms, Weak circulation pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before reaching inside the tub.

  • Check for obstructions: Open the door and spin the lower and upper spray arms by hand. Remove any large dishes or utensils blocking rotation.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove the spray arms (usually by unscrewing or unclipping). Rinse under running water and use a toothpick to clear blocked jets.
  • Reinstall correctly: Ensure spray arms are firmly seated and can rotate freely without rubbing against racks.
  • Load properly: Avoid tall items that interfere with the middle or top spray arms. Follow the loading diagram in the Ikea manual.

If iA0 continues and spray arms are clean and free, the circulation pump may not be providing enough pressure and could require replacement.
