Dishwasher maintenance tips

The dishwasher is one of the most appreciated home appliances, which can easily cope with a large number of dishes saving your time for more exciting things. In addition, it uses less water than if the dishes were washed by hand.

To achieve high quality and long-term operation of your dishwasher, you should follow some rules and maintenance tips:

• Wash your dishwasher regularly

As soon as your dishwasher finishes the washing cycle, get the dishes out and wipe appliance inside and out with a wet rag. It is important to wipe the doors of the dishwasher as the dirt can cause problems with the opening and closing of your appliance. The control panel should be cleaned with a dry rag because the dishwasher may break down if water enters through the buttons.

 

• Clean and inspect the filter and spinning arms every week

Your dishwasher probably has a filter located near the bottom or under the lower spray arm. Follow your dishwasher owner’s manual for specific instructions about how to remove this filter properly. Clean the filter in water without any household chemicals. If there are some holes in the filter, replace it to protect the dishwasher’s pump and motor seals from damage.

The dishwasher works by spraying water out of their spinning arms onto the dishes inside. When those arms are not spinning properly or the holes in them are full of dirt buildup, your dishes will not be cleaned well, so you should clean spinning arms as well.

 

 

• Clean the door seal every 6 months

Use some washing liquids to clean the door seal of your dishwasher. You can buy them in some household chemicals store.

If you follow these simple rules, your dishwasher will assist you for a long time.

One of the most common reasons why people call to the repair service is clogged drainage system.

Follow some recommendations as a long service guarantee:

• Before loading the dishes into the dishwasher at the first time, run a washing cycle with a special cleaning agent
• Do not forget to clean the dishes from food debris every time before running the dishwasher
• Check the filling of the salt tray as it is an excellent mean for daily dishwasher care
• Read the owner’s manual to place the dishes in the basket correctly to avoid the leakage
• Do not overload your dishwasher. Cramming two loads into one load will restrict the water spray patterns. It will prevent proper cleaning and require you to have to run the washing cycle again
• Repair or replace the broken parts of the dishwasher
