Dishes coming out dirty? Try this fast, step-by-step dishwasher deep clean to restore performance.
Clean the Filter
Twist out the bottom filter, rinse debris, and scrub with a soft brush.
Clear Spray Arms
Use a toothpick to open clogged nozzles; rinse under warm water.
Descale the Tub
Run a hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner (or white vinegar in a dishwasher-safe cup).
Rinse Aid & Detergent
Use rinse aid for sheeting action and a fresh detergent pod—old powder cakes up.
Load Smarter
Keep plates facing the center and avoid nesting bowls.
