Are your supposedly clean plates coming out of your dishwasher grimy or covered in dry food or are you finding puddles of water on your floor. Before jumping to the conclusion that your dishwasher is in need of an appliance repair company, take the time to perform these simple dishwasher maintenance tips. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised when you're able to solve the problem on your own.
- If you've noticed water leaking onto the floor from your dishwasher, you may be dealing with two very common issues. A dishwasher that is not level is likely to be the problem. Luckily, leveling the appliance is not a complicated task. By simply adjusting the dishwasher’s front legs, you can stop further leakage from occurring. If your appliance is level and you continue to find water on your floor, check the dishwasher's door gasket. If the gasket is cracked or dried food is stuck to it, your appliance may not be closing properly. You should clean the gasket regularly, to ensure your dishwasher's door seals tightly. If you do find cracks in the door gasket, you will need to replace it.
- A dishwasher's filtration system needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. Debris from plates that haven't been rinsed gets caught in the filter, and prevents the appliance from performing properly. If you are unsure of where the filter is located, your dishwasher's manual will provide you with the correct information. Cleaning and inspecting the filter is easy. Once you've removed it, look closely at the filter to see if you can find any holes. If you do spot holes, you may need to replace the filter. To clean the filter, simply hold it under running water.
- Spray arms dispense water during the wash cycle. The small holes located on the arms can easily become clogged by debris from food. Check the holes often for any blockages. If you find an obstruction, remove it from the hole to ensure your dishwasher can operate correctly.
- Wiping down the interior of your appliance with liquid dishwashing soap and water once a month can help rid the appliance of debris and soap scum build-up. You can also run your dishwasher on a normal cycle with no detergent and two cups of vinegar on the lower rack to give it an intensive cleaning.
