Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes Properly?

Why Dishes Come Out Dirty

  • Blocked spray arm holes stopping water from reaching dishes
  • Dirty or clogged filter
  • Weak circulation (wash) pump
  • Water not heating properly
  • Overloading or blocking the spray arms
  • Detergent dispenser not opening

Cloudy Glasses & White Residue

Dubai's water is relatively hard, which leaves limescale on glasses and inside the machine. Keep the salt reservoir filled, use rinse aid, and run a machine cleaner or descaler every month.

How to Clean Spray Arms and Filters

  • Remove the lower and upper spray arms (most twist or clip off).
  • Rinse and clear the holes with a toothpick.
  • Clean the filter under running water.
  • Refit everything and check the arms spin freely.

When It's a Repair Job

If maintenance doesn't help, the wash pump, heater or detergent dispenser may be faulty. Book a Repairova technician for an AED 50 inspection and a clear repair quote.
