A dishwasher is an essential helper in every home. We’d like to share a few simple maintenance tips to help extend the life of your appliance.
First, always rinse off large food debris in the sink before loading dishes. Skipping this step may lead to dishwasher not draining issues.
Make sure to review your owner’s manual and load the unit properly. Incorrect loading can cause poor washing results or even a leaking dishwasher.
Before starting a cycle, run hot water in your kitchen sink for 30-60 seconds. This allows the dishwasher to fill with hot water immediately, improving cleaning performance. Otherwise, you may notice your dishwasher not working well.
After each cycle, leave the door slightly open for a couple of hours. This helps prevent moisture buildup, odors, and problems like dishwasher smells bad or mold growth.
We also recommend running a cleaning cycle once a month using a professional dishwasher cleaner to keep the internal components in good condition.
