Ensure that all dishes are placed facing downwards and are not overlapping. Place larger items at the back and sides, and make sure that the spray arms can rotate freely without obstruction. Avoid blocking the detergent dispenser with tall items.
Check if the dishwasher is properly plugged in and the door is securely closed. Ensure that the water supply is turned on. Inspect the circuit breaker and fuses to ensure they are functioning. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Examine the drain hose for any kinks or blockages and clear them if necessary. Check the dishwasher filter and clean it if it is clogged. Ensure that the kitchen sink drain is not blocked. If the issue continues, the drain pump may need inspection by a professional.
Regularly clean the filters and check the spray arms for blockages. Wipe down the door seals to prevent mold and mildew buildup. Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner monthly to maintain performance. Inspect hoses for leaks or wear.
Open the dishwasher and remove the lower rack. Twist the filter assembly counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse the filter under running water, using a soft brush to remove debris. Reassemble the filter and place it back into the dishwasher.
Ensure that you are using a rinse aid, as it helps with the drying process. Check the selected cycle, as some cycles do not include a drying phase. Make sure the door is left ajar after the cycle to allow moisture to escape.
Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent that is suitable for your water hardness level. You can choose between powder, gel, or tablet forms, but tablets are generally convenient and effective. Avoid using regular dish soap as it can cause excessive suds.
Ensure that dishes are loaded correctly and not overcrowded. Use the hottest water temperature setting available. Regularly clean the spray arms and filters to prevent clogs. Use a dishwasher cleaner to remove limescale and buildup.
Inspect the dishwasher for any loose items or utensils that might be hitting the spray arms. Ensure that the dishwasher is level to prevent vibrations. Check the pump and motor for any obstructions. If the noise persists, it may require professional service.
To reset the dishwasher, turn it off and unplug it from the power source. Wait for about 5 minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on. If the dishwasher continues to malfunction, consult the user manual or contact technical support.
