Dishwasher problems

Low water temperature. Because low hot water temperature is a common cause of poorly cleaned dishes, check to see if your hot water temperature is set too low.  The recommended temperature setting is 140°F for cutting grease and dissolving soap.  To measure the temperature of your hot water, insert a meat thermometer into the hot water stream flowing from the kitchen sink faucet.

Clogged drain screen or filter. Sometimes the drain screen or filter in the base of the unit becomes clogged with food particles.  Depending on your unit, you may be able to clean the screen or filter yourself.  However, never reach into the area below the lower rack before the heating element has cooled.

Clogged or jammed spray arm. During the cycle, the spray arm(s) spins and sprays water onto the dishes at different angles.  Clean any plugged spray arm holes and make sure the arm(s) spins freely. (See above warning.)
