Dishwasher Troubleshooting: Common Dishwasher Problems
Are you having problems with your dishwasher and don’t know how to solve them?
Sometimes these inconveniences can be fixed easily by doing some routine maintenance tasks on your dishwasher. Follow these troubleshooting tips if you're having common dishwasher problems:
Cleaning and descaling your dishwasher a few times a year will help remove greasy residues and hard water buildup and help improve cleaning efficiency. Learn more here.
Maximize drying by using rinse aid and selecting the 'Extra Dry' option. Learn more here.
Clean your filter regularly to help improve cleaning. Learn more here.
Load the dishes properly ensuring there's adequate space between items. Also, check to see if the spray arms can move freely after loading the dishwasher. View our How-to Video page to learn how to load your dishwasher and clean the spray arms.
No need to pre-rinse dishes before loading. Just make sure the food is scraped off the dishware. Detergent needs small food debris to cling to in order to work properly.
