Our appliance repair experts recommend regularly taking the time to ensure your dishwasher filter is clean. The filter is typically located at the bottom of the tub, and it looks like a cap that you turn counter-clockwise to take out and clockwise to put back in. The reason why you should be taking this out to carefully clean it every two to three cycles — without puncturing the filter itself — is to ensure your dishes are getting cleaned properly and that the machine is performing well.

Contrary to popular belief, our Colorado dishwasher repair company also recommends loading non-scrubbed dishes into your dishwasher. This is because many modern dishwashers have sensors that sense how clean the water is; therefore no dirty dishes can cause the dishwasher to believe the job is done earlier than it should be. Additionally, SOCO Appliance Repair recommends never using regular dish soap, such as Dawn, inside your dishwasher to prevent the build-up of suds and vacuuming up any excess standing water in your dishwasher after its run. However, after doing so, it’s important to get a thorough diagnosis from our broken dishwasher repair technicians!
