Question:
Why isn't my dishwasher washing the dishes clean? They are encrusted with small deposits at the end of the cycle. -Mrs J Smith, Fulwood
Answer:
The problem is blocked filters in the base and both spray arms. Tiny bits of food can get wedged in these, stopping them from rinsing the dishes properly. Clean both the base and the spray arms. You may have to take them off - a simple process if you are careful - and run cold water through them.
