How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing spray arms if accessing from below.

  • Clean filters: Remove and wash all filters under hot water to remove grease and food particles.
  • Clean spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms, clear all jets, and ensure they spin freely when reinstalled.
  • Use proper detergent: Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent and ensure the dispenser door opens fully during the cycle.
  • Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher to ensure hot water enters immediately.
  • Avoid overloading: Load dishes so that spray can reach all surfaces and items do not nest together.
