1. Load dishes correctly.
Loading the dishes correctly helps the dishwasher clean them. Angle heavily soiled dish surfaces downward and leave enough room between the dishes to allow water to reach all sides. Make sure that spray arms spin freely after loading the dishwasher and don’t block the detergent dispenser lid.
After loading the dishes, select the correct cycle for the type of dishes that you're washing. A quick or normal wash cycle cleans most dishes well, but choose a heavy wash or a pots and pans cycle to clean really dirty cookware.
If your dishwasher has a high-temperature setting, choose it to wash greasy dishes. It also dissolve detergent better, improving cleaning.
2. Check the filters.
Clogged filters interfere with water flow, which can cause poor cleaning performance. Remove dishwasher filters monthly and rinse them under running tap water. Remove dirt or hard water deposits using a soft bristle brush. Scrub the filters if you see soil or residue building up on the screens or if dishes feel gritty and you see food particles after the cycle finishes.
3. Check the spray arms.
Dishes won't get clean if the dishwasher can’t spray them thoroughly with water.
-Check the spray arms for cracks or damage. Replace the spray arm if it’s damaged.
--If the spray arm isn’t cracked, check for clogged openings. Clear the holes with toothpicks or a bamboo skewer. For severe clogs, remove the spray arms following the instructions in the owner’s manual and clean them in the sink. Use a toothbrush and a bamboo skewer to remove clogs and soak them in white vinegar to help remove hard water deposits. Rinse the spray arms thoroughly and reinstall them.
If hard water deposits frequently block your spray arm holes, we recommend cleaning your dishwasher once a month with Dishwasher Magic or Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner.
4. Check the water level.
Start a cycle with the dishwasher empty and let the dishwasher to fill with water, which should take about 2 minutes. When you hear the water stop filling or the pump start running, you know the dishwasher is finished filling.
Open the dishwasher door slightly to stop the cycle. When the cycle stops, open the door fully and check the water level in the tub. The water level should be close to the bottom of the mushroom-shaped float near the front corner of the dishwasher.
If your dishwasher isn’t filling, or the water level is far below the float, check out our video called Dishwasher Not Filling for troubleshooting tips for a fill problem in your dishwasher. • Dishwasher Not Filling
5. Check your water temperature.
Water must be at least 120 degrees to clean efficiently, even if you use the high-temperature cycle. To check the water temperature, run the hot water from your kitchen sink faucet for 1 minute and then fill a glass with hot water. Measure the water temperature in the glass using a cooking thermometer.
If the temperature is less than 120 degrees, slightly increase the temperature setting on your water heater. Make small, incremental increases and don't set your water heater temperature above 120 degrees to protect you from burns in the bath or shower.
6. Check the detergent dispenser.
If the lid to the detergent dispenser lid is still closed after you run the dishwasher, here’s a link to our video called Dishwasher Detergent Cup Not Opening, with troubleshooting tips to resolve that problem. • Dishwasher Detergent C...
7. Check your detergent.
Old or stale dishwashing powder won't clean your dishes well because the detergent loses effectiveness and may leave gritty deposits on your dishes. It doesn't take long for powdered detergent to age if you store it under the damp sink. Toss out old, clumpy detergent and use fresh, dry detergent for the best results. Store powdered detergent where it stays dry so it lasts longer.
8. Check your water hardness.
Use the right amount of detergent based on your water hardness and the dirtiness of your dishes. If you don't know your water hardness, contact your water supplier, look it up online or use a test strip. Once you know the water hardness, follow the directions in your owner's manual to fill the dispenser with the right amount of detergent.
didnt know there was a filter in the dishwasher...........I about puked when I cleaned it LOL
This dude is awesome! He’s clear and to the point! Thank you!
This video makes a visit to the psych hospital less likely. I hate all this washing up that's piled up since the dishwasher broke. Fingers crossed it works now
There is no doubt in my mind that this video has the power to save marriages.
Awesome thought to share. We're glad to hear that the video helped.
That's our main goal.
😂😂
Lmao it saves mine. I have chronical pains tho.
🤣🤣
Thank you for your help. I wasn't aware a dishwasher filter was a thing, unfortunately, and checked it out. It was clogged with hardware, soap scum, and mold... I have been eating off those dishes for who knows how long....
Same!!! It was absolutely disgusting!!
I love how this video made me feel comfortable trying to fix the dish washer, without making me feel overwhelmed or dumb. I think the guy is probably very charismatic but realised charisma would have detracted from the information
Thank you very much. I didn't even know the dishwasher had a filter. lol
This was EXTREMELY informative! Thanks so much for sharing!
I can’t believe how helpful this video is in such a short time, thank you!
Extremely well done how to video, i'm certain i can fix our home dishwasher properly now. Thanks!
Thanks for the encouragement. Let us know if you need more help.
Thank You, I noticed that the water is not very hot in the winter months. Will see if that adjustment helps.
Video is four years old. Stores closed three years ago. I hope he managed to get his pension & not be ripped off by the CEO’s stock sell off like so many were.
Ha. That was actually rather helpful. I'm going to have a crack at fixing our dishwasher now. I feel I know a little more what I'm doing :) Thanks heaps
Thank you for breaking down the possible problems. This was very helpful!
It’s the detergent! BO forced the manufactures to remove phosphates from the detergent. I buy my soap on line that has phosphates in it. My dishes sparkle!
Great detailed advice I didn't know. Now I can fix my own dishwasher. thank you.
Thank you for this video lol....I didnt realize "pots and pans" is the strongest.... xD
So is the sensor cycle.
Omg I love him.
I like this guy he really knows what hes talking about. I would also add to use a cup of vinegar on their recycle to make a sparkly clean
Nice information! Explained everything very well thank you
Thank you so much for this video!
This was so helpful, thanks!
Thanks for the video so much info that most do not even know about. Also I had to play back the part where you talk about the older washing powder being stored under the “DAM” not with an N LOL… under the DAMP sink. I thought the first time you said dam, abd it caught me off guard, I thought it was the funniest thing. Then I said no SEARS would not allow this. I had to play back again then I understood what you actually said. Gave me a good laugh though!!
Some people get very angry about the conditions under their sink!!😂
This was very helpful. Thank you!!
Fantastic!! Thank you Sir!!

Thanks for the positive feedback. We're glad to hear that you liked the video.
Great video. Thanks
I've tried all of this and still my dishwasher isn't working properly. It fills with water but some dishes are dry which you'd think is a clogged sprayer but they are not clogged so....now I'm stumped lol
Spray arms in some dishwashers won't provide good spray coverage unless the spray arm rotates. Check for proper spray arm rotation. To check for spray arm rotation, note the orientation of the spray arms then start the dishwasher. After the dishwasher fills and starts spraying water through the spray arms, crack open the dishwasher door to stop the cycle. Wait a few seconds then open the door fully and check the orientation of the spray arms. If a spray arm is remains in the same position, it may not be rotating. Close the door and restart the cycle. Stop the dishwasher in the same manner and check spray arm orientation after waiting for various intervals between checks. If you're certain that a spray arm isn't rotating, remove the spray arm and check for deposits or damage that could be preventing the spray arm from rotating. Remove any deposits and replace any damaged parts. These tips may help you resolve the problem that you're describing. If you need more help, let us know (and provide the model number of your dishwasher).
If you can’t hear any motion of water then it’s probably a motor and in that case it’s time for a new machine
Great video!
thank you very much Waaaaaaayne awesome
At 120°C it will melt most of plastic dishwasher safe dish.
This guy is hardcore!
My Dishwasher is the same as the one in the video. What is the model number of this one? I cannot find a model number on mine. It is filling up with water but not washing the dishes, so i think the motor went out. i can't find the correct motor without the model number. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Thank you
Excellent!! Thanks
Dude and video are great
Thank u
Thanks.
What local Sears store?
nice video ! Thanks!
Thank you so very much!!!!
What to do if my dishwasher wTer
Very informative but unfortunately none of these things were the issue. Still a mystery and I do have a countertop dishwasher not a built-in. It's 5 yrs old so maybe wear and tear.
Great vid
Very good
My dishwasher doesn’t tell me if it’s clean or dirty it says clean all the time
My dishwasher is brand new out of the box. I’ve ran it 3 times now and the dishes look the exact same (dirty) as I put them in. I’ve rinsed them nicely, the water is coming out just fine (so it appears) and I’m using a cascade soap. Still having no luck :(
Any ideas??
Check the water fill level. Lack of water may be causing the problem that you're describing.
The dishwasher in this video looks like the same exact one i have. I notice that the detergent comes out when that lil compartment opens sits at the bottom of the dishwasher. Is it suppose to do that?
We don't understand what you're describing and asking about. Let us know more details and we'll try to answer your question.
@@searspartsdirect basically, the dishwasher is not cleaning like it should. On the sprayer that spins around i checked n cleared some of the little pin holes that the water comes out of. Now the 2 filters i have, one of em is a pain in the but to put back in(the one in this video thats kinda long n round).those were dirty. And it seems like it doesnt dry the dishes all the way either, they r still a little wet.
@@stephancobb13 Cleaning the filters may help the dishwasher clean better. If not, check water temperature as shown in the video. Low water temperature can affect cleaning and drying processes in the dishwasher. Safely adjust hot water temperature on your water heater if necessary. Keep in mind that plastic items won't dry well because they don't retain heat. Also, using rinse aid helps the dishes dry better.
He said go to a local Sears store? Why would I want to go to an abandoned store to fix my dishwasher.
HELPFUL!
Or you could just wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher!
POV: You came to this video after leaving the video of the guy shouting.
I have done all of this and my dishwasher is still not cleaning at all. I clean my filter once a week.
Thanks for the useful tips. Here is a link to a video on how to use a razor. 😅
You are dishwasher's God
Thanks for the encouragement.
very good video and ... nice beard!
I think the beard grew a a man behind it
Stop babying your dishwasher by prewashing everything.
Sears, y'all still there after Jeff Bezos done bankrupt all y'all?
Can you be my father?
Useless
Not for the rest of us who learn something from a video like this.
