How to improve cleaning performance of my Samsung DW80K5050 Dishwasher?
- JJohn YoungSep 7, 2025
If your Samsung Dishwasher isn't cleaning properly, several factors could be at play. First, make sure you're selecting the appropriate cycle for the load size and soil level. Ensure the water supply line is connected to a hot water source, ideally around 120°F (49°C). Check that the water pressure is between 20 and 120 psi (140 - 830 kPa). Use a high-quality, fresh detergent along with a rinse aid. Confirm you are using automatic dishwasher detergent, preferably a powder or gel type. Make sure that large items are not blocking the detergent dispenser. Check the dispenser and add liquid rinse aid if it's empty. Finally, rearrange the dishes so they do not interfere with nozzle rotation and detergent dispenser operation, and avoid overloading.
