How to Maintain Your Westinghouse Dishwasher for Sparkling Results and Longevity

Maintain Your Westinghouse Dishwasher for Sparkling Results and Longevity

Dishwashers are one of the most convenient kitchen appliances—especially in the UAE, where busy households rely on them daily. But to ensure your Westinghouse dishwasher keeps delivering spotless results and lasts for years, a little maintenance goes a long way. Here’s a practical guide tailored for UAE residents.

1. Scrape, Don’t Rinse

Remove food scraps before loading dishes, but don’t rinse completely. Dishwashers need a bit of grime to activate detergent enzymes properly. Just make sure no large particles are left that could clog the filter.

2. Load Dishes Correctly

Overloading or incorrect placement reduces cleaning performance and risks damage. Place larger items like pots and pans in the bottom rack, glasses and cups on the top, and avoid overlapping dishes.

3. Use Quality Detergent and Rinse Aid

The hard water in many UAE areas can leave spots and film on your dishes. Always use a dishwasher-specific detergent and a rinse aid to prevent mineral buildup and achieve a sparkling finish.

4. Clean the Filter Weekly

A clogged filter reduces water flow and allows food residue to redeposit on your dishes. Remove the filter at the bottom of the machine, rinse it under warm water, and scrub gently with a soft brush.

5. Run Hot Wash Cycles Regularly

Hot cycles help break down grease and food residue. Run a hot water cycle at least once a week—especially useful in dusty or humid UAE kitchens.

6. Descale Monthly

Limescale buildup is a common issue due to hard water. Use a dishwasher-safe descaler or white vinegar once a month to keep internal parts clean and functioning efficiently.

7. Wipe the Door Seals and Edges

Grease and debris often collect around the door edges. Wipe them regularly with a damp cloth to maintain hygiene and prevent mold.

8. Inspect the Spray Arms

Ensure spray arms spin freely and aren’t blocked by debris. Remove them occasionally and rinse out any trapped food or mineral deposits.

9. Keep the Exterior Clean

Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the front and control panel. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or spraying water directly onto the panel.

10. Schedule Annual Servicing

A yearly check-up by a certified Westinghouse technician ensures all components are working properly and extends the lifespan of your dishwasher.
