A little routine maintenance prevents most dishwasher problems we are called out for. Here is the monthly list.

Clean the Filter

A dirty filter is behind poor cleaning and bad smells.

Fix: Remove and rinse the filter at the tub floor every few weeks.

Wipe the Seals and Spray Arms

Grease on the door seal and clogged spray jets reduce performance.

Fix: Wipe the gasket and clear the spray-arm holes monthly.

Run a Cleaning Cycle

Mineral and grease film build up inside over time.

Fix: Run a hot cycle with a cup of vinegar or a dishwasher cleaner.
