Keeping up on maintenance helps increase the lifespan of your dishwasher
How can I make my dishwasher last longer?

Keeping up on maintenance helps increase the life span of your dishwasher.

  • Use vinegar to remove mineral deposits from the heating element.
  • Keep the spray arm clean and free of any soap buildup.
  • When loading, be sure the dishes do not interfere with the movement of the spray arm.
  • Periodically use a rinse agent to minimize soap film.
  • Use a granular soap over a liquid soap. Granular soaps produce fewer suds, which reduces the likelihood of water dripping from the door.
  • Check for any sign of leaks or water stains on the floor.
