Possible Causes

Clogged spray arms, Dirty filters, Incorrect detergent or dosage, Low water temperature or short program misuse

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing internal parts.

  • Clean filters and spray arms: Remove and thoroughly clean all filters and spray arms. Ensure all jets are clear.
  • Load correctly: Avoid blocking spray arms with large dishes. Do not nest bowls or stack items that prevent water flow.
  • Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and adjust dosage according to water hardness. Refill rinse aid and salt as required.
  • Select appropriate program: For heavily soiled loads, use an intensive or longer program with higher temperature.
  • Run maintenance cycle: Periodically run a hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to remove grease and limescale from internal parts.
