Dishwasher not cleaning dishes — questions
Could it be my salt or rinse aid?
Sometimes — but if the machine is filling and heating properly, poor results are usually mechanical, not consumables.
Do you check water hardness settings?
Yes, we check the salt setting and overall water fill as part of the diagnosis.
How long does the visit take?
Most dishwasher diagnostics and repairs are completed in a single visit of around an hour.
