How to Maintain Your Dishwasher Between Repairs

A little routine care goes a long way toward avoiding dishwasher repair calls. Here is a simple maintenance routine you can do yourself between professional services.

Clean the filter monthly. Food debris builds up in the filter basket and reduces cleaning performance if left too long.

Wipe the door seal. This prevents grime buildup that can eventually cause leaks.

Run a hot empty cycle with vinegar occasionally. This helps clear mineral buildup inside the machine.

Check the spray arms. Make sure the small holes are not blocked by food particles or hard water deposits.

If your dishwasher is still not draining or leaking after basic maintenance, it is time to call a dishwasher technician. Findafix offers dishwasher repair across Nairobi for Bosch, Samsung, LG, and Electrolux models.
