Possible Causes
Clogged spray arms, Dirty filter and sump, Weak circulation pump, Incorrect detergent or hard water buildup
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before removing lower components if needed.
- Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower Samsung spray arms. Rinse under water and use a toothpick to clear blocked jets.
- Clean filter and sump: Remove the filter assembly and clean thoroughly. Check the sump for debris that could restrict pump intake.
- Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure rinse aid is filled, especially in hard water areas.
- Check circulation pump: If spray arms are clean but water pressure seems weak, the circulation pump may be failing and should be tested and replaced if necessary.
