Just like any appliance, your dishwasher needs a little TLC to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.
Regular maintenance not only helps prevent clogs and breakdowns, but it also ensures your dishes are getting the cleanest possible wash. Here are some simple maintenance tips you can follow to keep your dishwasher in tip-top shape.
- Clean the Filter Regularly: Remove and clean the filter at least once a month to prevent clogs and ensure proper water flow.
- Check the Spray Arms: Make sure the spray arms are rotating freely and aren’t blocked by debris.
- Wipe Down the Interior: Wipe down the interior of the dishwasher with a damp cloth to remove food particles and grease.
- Clean the Door Seal: Remove any debris or build-up from the door seal to prevent leaks.
- Run a Cleaning Cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaning tablet or solution once a month to remove mineral deposits and maintain peak performance.
- Consider a Water Softener: Hard water can leave mineral deposits on your dishes and reduce the efficiency of your dishwasher.
