Tips for Routine Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Explore the importance of regularly cleaning the filters, spray arms and interior of the dishwasher to prevent residue build-up and ensure optimal performance.
Use Appropriate Detergents: Advice on choosing the right detergent and the correct amount to avoid clogging of the ducts and the accumulation of residue inside the machine. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Rubber and Gasket Inspection: You should inspect and clean the door rubber and gaskets to prevent water leaks and maintain the efficiency of your dishwasher.
Keep the drainage system clean: Check that there is no obstruction near the drainage system. A dishwasher that gets clogged will stop draining well. This pump is responsible for draining the dirty water out of the dishwasher at the end of the washing cycle. After the dishwasher has finished cleaning the dishes and utensils, the drain pump starts to allow dirty water to drain from the dishwasher into the house’s drainage system.
Preventive Maintenance Programs: Recommends scheduling periodic checkups with a specialized technician to detect and address any potential problems before they become a costly breakdown.
Periodically check the water valves: The dishwasher works with cold and hot water, if possible keep the water valve filters clean. This valve controls the flow of water entering the dishwasher from the water supply line. When a washing cycle is initiated, the inlet valve opens to allow water to flow into the dishwasher. Once the correct water level is reached, the valve closes to prevent further water from entering.
Avoid Overloading: Warns about the dangers of overloading the dishwasher and how this can affect its performance and cause breakdowns.
