Hey there! Good question—keeping a dishwasher in top shape isn’t rocket science, but it does need a little TLC. Regularly clean out the filter and check the spray arms for any clogs. Don’t overload it either; that can mess up the spray pattern and lead to wear and tear. I had the same issue, and after trying these tips, I still ended up calling Astera Services in Chicago for a check-up. They’re awesome with HVAC and appliance service. They not only fixed my dishwasher but also gave me some solid advice on maintenance. If your dishwasher is acting up, they’re definitely worth a call. They’ll make sure you get the most out of your appliance!
