Help for Sluggish Dishwasher

RE: Help for Sluggish Dishwasher Post By Larry (Guest Post) (08/15/2008) My dishwasher had gotten to the same point. I was In Wally World one day and noticed that they have a dishwasher cleaner that you place on the silverware rack and run a full load with this in it--alone on hi heat. Once this has cycled thru, it has remove any calcium, lime or any other deposits that may be clogging up your machine. It worked on my machine. Mine is working like it did 10 years ago!

If I don't do this every few days, my dishes are not clean, and just like yours the arm doesn't spin fast enough. Worth a try.........Mine is many years old.

Have you checked the water shut-off valve to the dishwasher? Is it open all the way? Do you have hard water? You may need to clean the connection into the dishwasher. Sometimes they have little screens. That could be clogged too. Are you in a semi-rual area running city water? If there is a lot of construction, the water pressure may have dropped. Not sure what you can do about that. Just some things to think about. Report Spam or Abuse
