Nothing is more frustrating and infuriating than finding your dishwasher is broken or incapable of getting your plates, glasses, and utensils clean. Carolina Appliance Service has an unparalleled level of skill and appliance service knowledge, able to repair and fix almost any major appliance in your home or office. And even though dishwashers are a rather common appliance in most homes, many people don’t know these simple tips to keep it running efficiently.

• Adjust Your Temperature Settings: Put your dishwasher on the highest temperature setting which is the best way to ensure that your dishes are clean of food particles and debris, as well as sterilized and germ free as well.
• Don’t Wipe Your Dishes Before Loading: Scrap any large food particles off your plate before you load your dishwasher... but there should be some food residue on them. The enzymes in dishwasher detergent require some food to initiate a reaction, so washing your plates clean before you load them in the dishwasher can actually do them a disservice.
• Clean The Filter Screen: Be sure to check and clean out the filter in your washing machine regularly. Food particles can build up and clog the water nozzle, which can dramatically reduce the efficiency of each cycle you run.
• Know The Water You're Using: If you are using “soft water” or treated city tap water, avoid residue on glasses and plates by filling your soap dish half full. If you are using well water, use the full cup to get your dishes and glasses clean.
• Use A Rinse Agent: It is a small price compared to getting dry and spot free glasses and dishes. These agents deter water from collection on the plastic racks in the dishwasher and help your dishes and glasses stay crystal clear.

Follow these tips to ensure that your dishwasher is running effectively and call Carolina Appliance Service for any major appliance repair services you or your family may need.
