Dishwasher Repair Tips
If the dishes are not getting clean ...
1. Make sure the water is hot enough. It should be at least 140 degrees, which is
hot enough to burn you - VERY HOT! If it is not hot enough, turn the hot water heater
thermostat up to a higher setting.
2. Make sure the lower spray arm is unobstructed and turning freely.
3. Make sure the bottom inside the dishwasher is clean and free of debris.
4. Make sure you are following the proper loading procedures. Use the proper
amount of detergent and make sure the detergent is fresh (check the expiration or
"best if used by" date).
If the door isn't closing ...
1. Make sure the latch assembly is unrestricted and latching properly. Make sure
nothing is blocking the door from opening and closing properly.
If the unit is leaking ...
1. Make sure you are following the proper loading procedures, including the
proper type and amounts of detergents. Run the unit through cycle while empty - if it
doesn't leak, it's probably a loading problem.
2. Make sure the racks are positioned properly.
3. Make sure the door is unrestricted around the opening.
Tech Tips:
1. If the inside of your dishwasher is beginning to brown and form mineral stains,
put Limeaway or Tang Citrus Drink into the tank during the wash cycle. The citric acid
from these products will remove the mineral buildup and restore the finish.
2. If your dishwasher is developing a film on the inside, put 6-7 drops of good
quality, name brand regular liquid detergent (for handwashing dishes) in the bottom
and put the machine through regular cycle. This procedure will wash away the soap
scrum, mineral deposits and grit. It will also allow the machine to work better.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not put more than 6-7 drops of liquid detergent!
