Dishwasher Issues? We’re Here to Help!

Is your dishwasher not working properly? That’s frustrating! Several reasons could be causing this issue. Here are a few possible explanations:

1. Dirty or Clogged Filter: A dirty or clogged filter can make your dishwasher work harder and less effectively. Try cleaning or replacing the filter to see if that helps.

   • How to Check the Filter: The location of the filter can vary depending on the type and model of your dishwasher. However, most filters are located at the bottom of the dishwasher, underneath the spray arm. To locate the filter, remove the bottom rack and inspect the area around the spray arm. If the filter is dirty or clogged, clean it according to the manufacturer’s instructions or replace it if necessary.

2. Incorrect Detergent: Using the wrong type of detergent can affect your dishwasher’s performance. Make sure you are using a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers.

   • Detergent Tips: Use only dishwasher-safe detergent, as regular dish soap can create too many suds and reduce cleaning effectiveness. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the best type of detergent for your model.

3. Improper Loading: If dishes are not loaded correctly, water and detergent may not reach all surfaces. Ensure that dishes are loaded according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to allow proper water circulation.

   • Loading Tips: Avoid overloading the dishwasher, and make sure that items do not block the spray arms. Place larger items on the sides and back, and ensure that smaller items are secure.

4. Low Water Temperature: If the water entering the dishwasher is not hot enough, it may not clean the dishes effectively. Make sure your water heater is set to at least 120°F (49°C).

   • Temperature Tips: Run the hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher to ensure hot water enters the unit immediately. This can improve cleaning performance.

5. Spray Arms Not Spinning: If the spray arms are not spinning, they may be clogged or obstructed. Clean the spray arms and remove any blockages to ensure proper water flow.

   • Cleaning Spray Arms: Remove the spray arms and rinse them under running water. Use a toothpick or small brush to remove any debris from the holes.
