How often should I clean the dishwasher filters?

For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to check and clean the dishwasher filters regularly, ideally once a week, to prevent food particle buildup and maintain efficient water circulation.

Troubleshooting

Dishes are not drying completely, especially plastics.

Ensure the 'ExtraDry' function is activated. Check if the rinse aid dispenser is adequately filled. Avoid overloading the dishwasher to allow proper air circulation during the drying phase.

Dishes are not getting clean, or there are food residues.

Verify that the spray arms are not blocked by dishes and can rotate freely. Clean the dishwasher filters thoroughly. Ensure you are using the correct amount and type of detergent. Scrape off larger food particles before loading.

Unpleasant odors are coming from the dishwasher.

Clean the filters, door seals, and interior regularly. Run a hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner, or place a cup of white vinegar in the top rack and run an empty cycle. Avoid leaving dirty dishes inside for extended periods.

Dishwasher is making unusual noises during operation.

Check for any items (e.g., cutlery, small plates) obstructing the spray arms or rattling against each other. Ensure dishes are loaded securely. If the noise persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.

Dishwasher will not start.

Confirm the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched. Check that the water supply valve is open. Verify if a circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown in your home's electrical panel.

Care and Maintenance
