Hotpoint dishwasher - not cleaning properly - Hotpoint 24 in. FDW60 Free-standing Dishwasher

be sure to check the drawer that it is clean and not sticking. u can order the drawer from applainceparts.com and replace it if needed

sounds like the pump is not working

use the all in one tablets which have the salt already included. no more messing around.

First perform a vinegar cycle wash in the dishwasher. Pour a cup of vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher. Keep the temperature at the highest setting possible and perform a wash cycle.Then start using a dishwasher most probably that would solve the problem. If this does not solve the problem then there must be some parts worn out or faulty creating the problem.

There are many probable causes of failure .

To clean the dishes the water temperature is essential.It the water is not hot then the dishes will not be cleaned properly.So check the water temperature.

Also check the filter in your dishwasher.Clean the filter if there is accumulation of debris in the filter

Sounds like the spray arm is blocked with crud - or the feed to it is.

The spray arm can pulled downwards and away for cleaning by hand.

Hi,
Check The Salt-Level ? Dishwashers rely, On salt and cleaning Fluids/Rinse Aids et,c. Also check for Any Blockages or Obstructions/Kinks/Bends et,c. in The External Outlet/Waste pipe.

might need a new timer

I don't have a solution, but the exact same problem is happening with my dishwasher. Nothing is getting cleaned properly.

Did you manage to get the problem fixed?

is your water heater set at 120 degrees if not set it to it

air brake blockage more than likely the cause.
