Dishwasher Not Cleaning Properly?
Dishes Still Dirty After the Wash Cycle?
Dirty dishes after a full cycle usually mean a blocked filter or spray arm, a wash pump that is weak, a heater that has failed so the water stays cold, or loading that blocks the spray. Our technicians find the cause in your kitchen in Harare.

Why Is My Dishwasher Not Cleaning?
Start with the filter and spray arms. A clogged filter starves the wash pump of water, and food or limescale in the spray arm holes stops the jets reaching the dishes. Tall pans blocking the arm, too little detergent and short eco programmes also leave soil behind. When those are right, a weak wash pump or a failed heater, which leaves the water cold, is the usual fault.
Our dishwasher repairs technicians test the wash pump, heater and spray system on Bosch, Samsung, LG, Defy, Hisense and every other brand. Clean the filter and spray arms first, then book a repair.
Signs the Dishwasher Is Not Cleaning
Food left on dishes
A blocked filter, spray arm or weak wash pump.
Gritty film on glasses
Food being recirculated through a dirty filter.
Cloudy glasses
Hard water, low rinse aid or a heater fault.
Dishes cold at the end
The heater or temperature sensor has failed.
Detergent tablet not dissolved
The dispenser flap is blocked or the water is cold.
Common Causes of Poor Cleaning
- Clogged filter
- Blocked spray arm holes
- Spray arm blocked by tall items
- Weak or failed wash pump
- Heater element or sensor failure
- Detergent dispenser not opening
- Low water pressure
When to stop using the appliance
Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the heater, motor, pump and anything behind a cover to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.
What Can You Safely Check First?
Clean the filter, then unclip the spray arms and rinse their holes under the tap, clearing any blocked with a toothpick. Spin each arm by hand to check it turns freely past the dishes. Use fresh detergent and a normal or intensive programme for a test load.
How We Diagnose Poor Cleaning
The technician checks the filter and spray arms, measures the water temperature during the wash, tests the heater and wash pump and checks the detergent dispenser opens.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dishwasher Not Cleaning
Why are my dishes still dirty after the dishwasher?
Most often a clogged filter or blocked spray arms. Loading that blocks the arms, too little detergent and short eco programmes are next. A weak wash pump or failed heater is the cause when those are fine.
Why does my dishwasher leave grit on glasses?
Food particles are being recirculated because the filter is dirty or the sump is blocked. Cleaning the filter usually stops it.
How do I know if my dishwasher heater is working?
Open the door carefully partway through a hot programme. Steam and warm dishes mean it is heating. Cold dishes at the end point to a heater or sensor fault.
How much does it cost to fix a dishwasher that is not cleaning?
Cleaning filters and spray arms is quick. Heaters and wash pumps are moderate repairs. We diagnose first and quote before any work starts.
