If your dishwasher isn’t cleaning dishes properly, it could be due to several common issues:
- Clogged spray arms – Food particles can block the spray arms, preventing water from reaching all dishes.
- Dirty filters – A clogged filter reduces water flow and cleaning efficiency.
- Overloading the dishwasher – Placing too many dishes or blocking the spray arms can lead to poor cleaning.
- Using the wrong detergent – Make sure you are using a dishwasher-specific detergent and the correct amount.
- Hard water buildup – Mineral deposits can affect cleaning performance; using a rinse aid or descaler may help.
- Low water temperature – Water should be at least 120°F (49°C) for optimal cleaning.
If you’ve checked all these and your dishwasher still isn’t working properly, it might require professional repair. Contact BestServe Appliances at (587) 406-0555 or email us at info@bestserve.ca to schedule a service call.
