Possible Causes

Clogged spray arms, Dirty filters, Incorrect loading blocking spray, Low water temperature, Insufficient detergent or hard water

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the dishwasher to cool before cleaning internal parts.

  • 1. Clean filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the coarse and fine filters under running water.
  • 2. Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms and clear all jet holes with a toothpick. Rinse well.
  • 3. Load correctly: Avoid nesting dishes and blocking the spray arms. Place large items at the sides and back.
  • 4. Use hot water: Run the hot water at the sink until it is hot before starting the dishwasher to ensure a hot fill.
  • 5. Adjust detergent: Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent and, if you have hard water, add rinse aid or a water softener product.

If cleaning remains poor after these steps, the circulation pump or water level may need professional evaluation.
