If your dishes aren’t coming out clean, here’s what you should check:
- Inspect Spray Arms and Filters:
Clogged spray arms or filters can prevent water from reaching your dishes properly. Carefully remove the spray arms and filters, rinse them under running water, and soak them in vinegar if you notice mineral buildup. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and reinstall them. - Load Dishes Properly:
Make sure you’re loading your dishwasher correctly, avoid overcrowding and overfilling the dishwasher. Overloading can block water flow and reduce cleaning effectiveness.
Following these steps usually improves cleaning performance. If your dishes still aren’t coming out clean, you might want to check your detergent, water temperature, or consider running a cleaning cycle on your dishwasher.
