洗碗机的保养是必不可少的. Cleaning your dishwasher and being proactive about early signs of trouble can save you from spending hundreds of dollars on repairs, or even more on an unexpected replacement.
Follow the maintenance tips below to keep your dishwasher in tip-top shape and help avoid costly repairs.
1. 检查喷雾器臂.
有时, the way you load the dishwasher can put utensils or plates in the way of the sprayer arm’s rotation. Be sure to check that the sprayer arm has full mobility to rotate after you load the dishwasher and get ready to run a load. The holes of the sprayer arm can also become clogged. If you notice any clogs, simply use a toothpick to dislodge whatever is stuck.
2. 检查排水管.
Look in the bottom of the dishwasher and remove any food debris or clogs from the filter. Then, run the garbage disposal to clear out the drain they share.
3. 检查热水器温度.
Make sure your water heater is between 120 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Otherwise, your dishes won't get cleaned appropriately. 如果太热的话, it can make food debris harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function
4. 试水.
There’s a chance that minerals are making your water hard. This includes salts like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride or other ground minerals. It leads to cloudy residue on your dishes and the washer itself. If that’s the case, you should consider having a 软水器 安装.
5. 清洗洗碗机陷阱.
在洗碗机的最底部, 在喷雾器下, is a removable trap that will likely contain pieces of food that didn’t make it through to the drain. 有时, the tray will come out completely, and sometimes it won’t. 定期清理.
考虑覆盖范围?

6. 清洗洗碗机密封.
随着时间的推移，你的洗碗机密封(i.e. what keeps the water from getting out during the wash) accumulates debris around the rubber. Clean the rubber gasket with a damp towel so the grime doesn’t build up and break the seal.
7. 清洁洗碗机内部.
Inside your dishwasher, there’s the potential for grease, detergent residue and calcium buildup. 用醋把这些都洗掉. Run a cycle of the dishwasher with vinegar only (no detergent) every few months. 它有助于保持洗碗机的清洁.
8. 不要混淆刮痧和清洗.
Never throw dishes in the dishwasher with food on them. And don’t just rinse them with water either. If there are hard-to-remove food scraps on your dishes, use a utensil to remove them. The dishwasher won’t always be able to remove them, and you don’t want to clog the drain.
9. 不要让洗碗机太拥挤.
While you may want to get all of the dishes you can into your dishwasher, you also don’t want to block the sprayer arm and come out with dirty dishes. Organize it well by compromising and hand cleaning a few dishes.
10. 不要过度使用洗涤剂.
It’s not always necessary to fill the detergent cup. Some dishwasher manuals will tell you fill it only one-fourth or one-half of the way. 检查洗碗机的使用手册.
