Cleaning your dishwasher regularly helps the machine be problem-free and in good condition, even after extended time of use.
This video shows you how to clean a dishwasher spray arm and filter.
- Step 1: (0:37) - Remove the filter
Turn off the power, remove the cover basket, then you’ll see an access panel. Lift the access panel up and take out the filter.
Normally, you find buildups in the filter. Put the filter under a running water tap to clean up all the buildups. It’s recommended to clean the filter every month.
- Step 2: (1:01) - Remove the spray arm
First, remove the base rack in the bottom, giving us access to the bottom of the dishwasher.
The spray arm is now accessible, you just lift it up. Let it dry. Then tap the spray arm from side to side to let pieces inside fall into the center and fall out.
Rinse it under water to flush those pieces that are still stuck in there. Wipe it with a dry cloth and put it back in.
It's important to clean a spray arm regularly because if these pieces block holes along the spray, it won't wash the dishes well.
- Step 3: (1:50) - Check the spray arm
An easy thing to do is to check the spray arm each time before starting the dishwasher. Just give it a flick to ensure that it's able to rotate freely around. Especially near the filter, because if you do not push down properly, it can stick out and the spray arm can just catch the top of that.
Check the height to see if a plate is higher than the lid on the edge of the tub, there could be an issue with the lid not sealing. This could lead to leaking.

In this video we are going to show you how to clean the filter and spray arm of your dish drawer
to ensure your dishes are perfectly clean every time. One of the great benefits of the dish drawer
is that it's two dishwashers in one. Each operates as its own individual dishwasher designed with a
spray arm at the base. The spray arm needs to rotate freely and if it gets blocked off it
cannot do its job. If your dishes are not coming out as clean as they should be it could be that
the spray arm is not able to rotate freely or the filter may be blocked. We'll show you how
to resolve these problems using the simple steps shown in this video. Turn the power off at the
wall, remove your cutlery basket and you will see an access panel. Lift the access panel up and then
lift the filter up and free. So you normally get a bit of build-up in and around here and on the
mesh but you can take that right out and give it a really good scrub. So that's all you need to do.
We recommend to clean out the filter every month or so. To remove the spray arm firstly remove the
base rack in the bottom. Lift this from the back and up and out and that gives us access now to the
bottom of the tub. The spray arm is now accessible and that just lifts off. It's important to clean
the spray arm regularly because if these holes along the spray arm get blocked it won't wash
the dishes as well. Give the spray arm a tap from side to side when it's dry and the little bits and
pieces that are in there will fall to the centre and fall out. And then rinse it under a tap as
well to flush those bits that are still stuck in there. Wipe with a dry cloth and put the spray arm
back in. Push the filter back in place at the front here and then the basket. Front first and
hold on a bit of an angle. Lightly drop it in and once you've cleared the cup racks it just falls
into place. An easy thing to do is to check the spray arm each time before starting the dishwasher.
Just give it a flick to ensure that it's able to rotate freely around, especially here by the
filter. This can stick up if it's not pushed down properly and the spray arm can just catch the top
of that. It is good to check the height too, so if a plate is higher than the lip on the edge of the
tub then there could be an issue with the lid not sealing. This could lead to leaking. For more
