Dishwashers are an essential appliance in many households, and like all appliances, they require regular maintenance to keep them functioning optimally. Especially here in Omaha, NE where we fight chemicals including calcium build up in our water. Here are some recommended dishwasher maintenance tips:

  1. Clean the interior regularly: Wipe down the interior of the dishwasher with a damp cloth regularly. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to remove any stubborn stains.
  2. Check the dishwasher filters: Remove and clean the dishwasher filters regularly. Depending on the model, the filters may need to be cleaned once a month or more frequently.
  3. Run hot water before starting the dishwasher: Before starting a cycle, run the hot water in the sink until it's hot. This helps the dishwasher to start with hot water, which is essential for cleaning dishes effectively.
  4. Load the dishwasher properly: Avoid overloading the dishwasher and make sure that dishes are loaded properly. Check the manufacturer's instructions for loading recommendations.
  5. Use the right detergent: Always use the right dishwasher detergent, and avoid using too much. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for detergent usage.
  6. Check the spray arm: Make sure that the spray arm is not clogged with food debris. If it is, remove it and clean it thoroughly.
  7. Inspect the seals and gaskets: Check the door seal and gaskets regularly for cracks or damage. If you notice any damage, replace them promptly.
