If your KitchenAid Dishwasher is not cleaning your dishes as you want, then it may have some problem. But, do not worry as you may be able to solve this problem by yourself. We want to present you with certain tips to ensure that your dishes come out clean every time. So, here are some problems and troubleshooting tips to fix the issues:
- Loading Problem: People tend to overcrowd the washing space and it does not allow the detergent and water to work as it should. So, to allow the proper flow of spray and detergent, follow these tips:
- Leave ample space between slots. Add one dish per slot and do not overcrowd it with bowls and other utensils.
- Face your utensils towards the spray arms. Keep your dishes facing inwards and your bowls upside down for maximum cleansing.
- You can turn the spray arm by yourself to ensure the lack of any obstructions.
- Cleaning the Dishwasher: While your dishwasher goes through its cleaning cycles, dirt and debris tends to accumulate. This can cause obstruction leading to improper spray of water and detergent. Hence, try to clean your dishwasher regularly and keep your components spotless.
- Clean your filter with running water and use a soft scrub to clear off the debris.
- Your spray arms should also be cleaned under running water. Use a thin wire to clean out the arm holes.
- The tub should be cleaned by taking 3 cups of white vinegar and putting it on the base of the empty dishwasher. Use the longest cleaning cycle to ensure a thorough job.
- Solving detergent issues: Detergent issues may be caused by the insufficient temperature of the water. Therefore, keep your home supply water at around 120°F for proper cleaning. Run hot water through your sink to ensure that it is readily available before the wash cycle begins.
There may be issues with the water pressure as your inlet valve requires at least 20 psi of pressure to open. If the pressure is low, then increase your home’s water pressure.
Part failures can also be a problem. If your water inlet water is broken, it would lead to a loss in supply of water to the dishwasher. The spray arms of the dishwasher also get damaged leading to restriction to water access. These parts require immediate replacement to get your dishwasher working back to normal.
