Preventive Appliance Care
Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Dishwasher Working at Its Best
1
Remove food scraps from plates before placing them inside the dishwasher to reduce filter and drain blockage.
2
Clean the dishwasher filter regularly, as trapped food particles can affect drainage and washing performance.
3
Check the spray arms for blocked holes and remove any residue that may reduce water flow during a cycle.
4
Arrange dishes correctly so that plates, bowls and utensils do not block the spray arms from rotating.
5
Use dishwasher detergent made for the appliance instead of ordinary liquid dish soap, which can create excess foam.
6
Check the door seal for dirt, damage or looseness if water starts collecting around the appliance.
7
Run a cleaning cycle periodically to reduce grease, odour and mineral build-up inside the dishwasher.
8
Avoid overloading the racks, as tightly packed dishes may remain dirty after the cycle.
9
Pay attention to unusual noise, drainage delays or incomplete cycles before the problem becomes larger.
10
Book a technical inspection when the dishwasher stops heating, draining, drying or starting correctly.
