Take care of your dishwasher
Five minutes here and there, and it will pay you back. Here are the habits that really matter.
- Clean the filterWeekly
Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and rinse it under hot water every week. It is the number-one cause of poor draining and bad smells.
- Unclog the spray armsMonthly
Take off the spray arms and clear their holes with a toothpick once a month: when they clog, dishes come out dirty.
- Run a maintenance cycleMonthly
Run a hot empty cycle with a dedicated product or white vinegar to degrease the tub and the pipes.
- Check salt and rinse aidEvery 3 months
Top up the salt and rinse aid: without them, limescale and streaks come back and the heating element furs up.

Everything about dishwasher manuals and repair
Most of the faults that take a dishwasher out of service early can be fixed. You just need the right manual, the ability to read the symptom, and the compatible part: that is all here, for every listed model.
When something breaks, we point you to the most likely cause and the video that explains it — without ever diagnosing for you. And since prevention is better, a few regular maintenance habits are enough to space out the faults.
Where our data comes from: parts and repairability indices from the open data.gouv.fr dataset declared by manufacturers; product sheets from the European EPREL database; safety recalls from RappelConso. Tutorials from a closed list of vetted specialist channels.
