Dishwasher maintenance tips to prevent breakdowns
Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of your dishwasher and prevent common issues. Our technicians recommend these brand-specific and general maintenance practices:
For all dishwasher brands
-
Clean the filter regularly – Most dishwashers have a filter at the bottom that catches food particles. Clean it monthly to prevent clogs and maintain optimal cleaning performance.
-
Run hot water before starting – Run the kitchen faucet until the water is hot before starting your dishwasher. This ensures the dishwasher starts with hot water, improving cleaning efficiency.
-
Use the right detergent – Always use dishwasher-specific detergent. Regular dish soap creates excessive suds that can damage your appliance.
-
Load properly – Avoid overloading and ensure dishes don't block spray arms or detergent dispensers. Place items so water can circulate freely.
-
Clean spray arms – Remove and clean spray arms periodically to remove mineral deposits and food particles that can clog the spray holes.
-
Inspect door gasket – Check the door seal monthly for cracks or wear. Clean it with a damp cloth to remove debris that could prevent a proper seal.
Pro tip from ApplianceRepair.co.ke: "One of the most common issues we see across all brands is clogged filters. Many homeowners don't realize their dishwasher even has a filter that needs cleaning. A quick monthly rinse can prevent 80% of drainage problems and keep your dishwasher running efficiently."
