Tips to Help Maintain the Dishwasher

By following these tips, you can keep your dishwasher running smoothly and avoid costly repairs or replacements.

1️⃣ Regular Cleaning: 

• Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner at least once a month to remove built-up debris and soap scum.
• You can also wipe down the door gasket and interior with a damp cloth regularly.

2️⃣ Load Properly: 

• Scrape off excess food from dishes before loading.
• Avoid overloading the dishwasher to ensure proper water and detergent circulation.

3️⃣ Use the Right Detergent: 

• Consult your dishwasher's manual for the recommended detergent type and amount.

4️⃣ Clean Filters Regularly:

• Check and clean the dishwasher filter according to the manufacturer's instructions. Clogged filters can hinder performance.

5️⃣ Inspect Hoses and Connections: 

• Look for signs of damage or leaks in the hoses and connections. Address any issues promptly to prevent water damage.

Additional Tips:

• Run hot water before use: Briefly run hot water in the sink to ensure the dishwasher receives hot water for efficient cleaning.
• Consider using rinse aid: This can help reduce water spots and improve drying performance.
• Avoid overcrowding: Leave some space between dishes to allow for proper water and detergent circulation during the wash cycle.
• Check spray arms: Regularly inspect and clean the spray arms for any clogs or obstructions.
• Schedule professional maintenance: Consider professional servicing periodically for a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of your dishwasher.
