Ensure that dishes are not blocking the spray arms and that pots and pans are placed at an angle to allow water to reach all surfaces. Use the top rack for glasses and small items, and the bottom rack for larger plates and cookware.
Use a high-quality, automatic dishwasher detergent. Avoid using hand soap, detergent tablets that are not dissolving properly, or excessive amounts of detergent to prevent residue and improper cleaning.
Check for clogs in the drain hose or filter, ensure the drain pump is functioning, and verify that the garbage disposal (if connected) is clear. Regular cleaning of the filter can prevent drainage issues.
Clean the dishwasher filter every 1-2 months to maintain efficiency. Remove the lower rack, twist and lift out the filter, and rinse it under running water. Use a soft brush if necessary.
Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled, adjust the water temperature to be at least 120°F, and check for hard water issues which may require a water softener or additional rinse aid.
Make sure the dishwasher is level and properly installed. Check that dishes are not rattling against each other and that the spray arms are not hitting any items. Consider using a sound-absorbing mat beneath the unit.
Regularly clean the filter and check for food debris. Run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the top rack. Leave the door slightly open to allow air circulation after each use.
Regularly clean the filter, check the spray arms for clogs, inspect the door gasket for debris, and ensure the racks are not damaged. Perform a cleaning cycle monthly with a dishwasher cleaner.
Ensure the door is fully closed and latched, check that the dishwasher is plugged in, and confirm that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the water supply is turned on.
Check the spray arms for blockages, ensure that dishes are loaded correctly, clean the filter, and verify that the detergent is dispensing properly. Adjusting the cycle settings may also improve performance.
