Check the drain hose for any kinks or clogs. Ensure the garbage disposal cap is removed if connected. Clean the dishwasher's filter and check the drain pump for obstructions.
It is recommended to clean the filter every month to ensure optimal performance and prevent clogs.
Ensure that the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Check that the detergent dispenser is not clogged and use the recommended amount of detergent. Also, make sure the water temperature is at least 120°F for effective cleaning.
Use a rinse aid to improve drying performance. Ensure that the dishwasher is not overloaded and that items are positioned to allow water to drain off. Select the heated dry option if available.
The 'Rinse Aid' light indicates that the rinse aid dispenser is low and needs to be refilled. This helps to improve drying and prevent water spots on dishes.
Load large items like pots and pans on the bottom rack and smaller items like cups and glasses on the top rack. Ensure that items are not blocking the spray arms and that they are tilted to allow water to run off.

Regularly clean the filter and the door seals. Run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar. Ensure that the dishwasher is not left closed for long periods with dirty dishes inside.
Regularly clean the filter and check the spray arms for blockages. Wipe down the door seals and the interior with a damp cloth. Inspect and clean the drain hose and ensure that the dishwasher is level to prevent leaks.
