Dishwashers are a great utility item that can help you save time, effort and money. But only they work properly. If they start malfunctioning, they can be a real nuisance. And most of the times, it is not the faulty machinery or parts that cause a dishwasher to malfunction. Often, wrong use can hamper the way a dishwasher is supposed to work and creates problems for the users. So, if you do want to enjoy the service of your washer for quite a long time to time, it is important that you avoid the following mistakes:

Use of wrong washing agent

For a dishwasher to function properly, it is essential that you add detergent meant for dishwashers and not soap that you use for hand wash. Soap will cause later and that will flow out of the washer, thus wettlaterur floors or cabinets.

Use of extra detergent

You want your dishes to be clean. But do not overdo it when adding detergent thinking that more detergent will clean better. Dishwashers NZ have a specific pre-fixed detergent requirement will not clean your dishes better; rather result in the washers depositing a coat of the excess detergent on the dishes. Cleaning off the extra detergent is nasty work.

Overloading the washer

You definitely would want to save electricity and water, but never ever think of adding more than the recommended number of dishes per wash cycle. Overlapping the dishes isn’t recommended at all. Not only can they break or remain dirty even after the wash, but too much load may damage the dishwashers NZ and reduce their longevity.

Excessively dirty dishes

Modern dishwashers NZ are excellent at removing even the dirtiest of the stains. But they are meant to clean dirt and grease, but not leftover food. So, loading your dishwasher with dishes or pots and pans with dry or greasy food still on isn’t really advisable. These leftovers may clog the vents of the dishwashers and prevent them from functioning properly.

Proper loading

Not all dishes are meant for all racks of the dishwasher. Check the instruction manual carefully to ensure that you put the right dishes into the right places. Else, you may have broken dishes, shards of which may remain within the washer and hamper the cleaning process or damage the different parts of the washer during the next wash cycle.

Irregular maintenance

Dishwashers NZ clean your dishes all right, but what about cleaning them? Like all other appliances, they too need to be cleaned after a few uses and lack of maintenance may impair their capability of cleaning your dishes squeaky clean. You have got to clean them at regular intervals or your washer may get clogged with dirt, grime, leftovers, etc. and stop working after a certain time.

Avoiding the mistakes mentioned above can help you ensure that your dishwasher is in good condition and you do not have to think of buying a new one very soon. Your dishes will be cleaned properly without causing any breakage, overflow or any other unwanted mishap.
