Dishwasher

Dishwasher leaves dishes dirty

Almost always the filter, the spray arms, or how the dishes are stacked.

1. 1

   Clean the filter

   Lift out the cylindrical filter at the bottom, rinse it under a hot tap and scrub off any grease.

2. 2

   Clear the spray arms

   Spin each arm by hand. Poke a toothpick through blocked holes and rinse the arm out.

3. 3

   Stop the blocking

   Reload so nothing tall leans over an arm and stops it spinning. Face dirty surfaces towards the middle.

4. 4

   Check the water is hot

   Run the kitchen hot tap until it is hot before starting the machine so it fills with hot water.

5. 5

   Run a cleaning cycle

   Run the hottest cycle empty with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar to strip grease and scale.
