Dishwasher not cleaning dishes

The fact that the dishwasher does not clean the dishes can have several different reasons.

Is there water in the dishwasher when you open it after washing? If so, then the problem is that the water is not pumped out, read more about this fault here.

Are the dishes warm when the dishwasher has finished washing? If not, then it is possible that this is the reason why the dishes are dirty. You can read more about this fault here.

Next, you should check whether the dishes are dirty because of food debris or whether it is white chalky residue left on the dishes. If it is white chalky residue, then you can read more about this fault here. If it is in fact food debris left on the dishes, then you should continue reading this guide.

The fault may be due to food debris clogging the drain or filter. As a result, dirty water is circulating in the dishwasher. Clean the filter – see video guide on how to do this below. If the filter looks defective or damaged, you should replace it. You can find a new filter for your dishwasher here.

The fault may be due to the dishwasher being overfilled. Check that the dishes are placed so that the water can pass freely. Also check that there is nothing blocking the spray arms.

The fault may be due to the spray arms being blocked or broken. Clean the spray arms and replace them if necessary. Watch video for cleaning the spray arm below. You can find new spray arms for your dishwasher here.

Finally, the fault may also be due to the dishwasher not taking in enough water. This can result in the water pressure being so low that there is not enough pressure for the spray arms to rotate and distribute the water over the service. Read more about this fault here.
