    What could be causing my Blomberg dishwasher to not clean properly?

    If your Blomberg dishwasher is not cleaning dishes properly, several factors could be contributing to the issue. Here are common causes and solutions. Remember to unplug the appliance from the mains before attempting any of these checks:

    • Blocked Filter: Food debris can accumulate in the filter, obstructing water flow and reducing cleaning efficiency. Regularly clean the filter to maintain optimal performance. To clean the filter, remove it from the bottom of the dishwasher, rinse it under running water, and replace it.
    • Blocked Spray Arms: The spray arms can become clogged with food particles or debris. Remove the spray arms and rinse them under water to clear any blockages. Ensure that the spray arm nozzles are free of obstructions to ensure proper water distribution.
    • Low Water Temperature: Proper cleaning requires water to reach a temperature above 65°C. If your dishwasher's water is not hot enough, it may not effectively dissolve food and remove stains. Ensure you select a wash cycle with a high enough temperature for your cleaning needs.
    • Incorrect Wash Cycle or Overloading: Using the wrong wash cycle or overloading the dishwasher can lead to poor cleaning results. Select a wash cycle that matches the level of soiling on your dishes and avoid overloading the appliance. Properly load the dishwasher to ensure water can reach all items.
    • Water Hardness: If you are using your dishwasher for the first time, ensure that you have set the appropriate water hardness level. Adding 1 litre of water to the salt reservoir can help adjust this. Refer to your instruction manual for details on setting the water hardness.

    If you have tried these solutions and the problem persists, contact Blomberg Customer Care for further assistance. Our expert support team can help diagnose the issue and arrange for technical help if needed.
