Possible Causes

Clogged filters, Blocked spray arm jets, Low water pressure or level, Overloaded racks preventing proper spray coverage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before cleaning internal components.

  • Clean filters and sump: Remove and wash all filters. Check the sump for accumulated grit or broken glass.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove and flush spray arms, clearing each jet hole.
  • Avoid overloading: Ensure dishes are spaced so water can reach all surfaces.
  • Check water level: Confirm that the machine fills to the correct level; if low, inspect the inlet system.
