What to do if my STERO Dishwasher is not cleaning dishes properly?
- A
  Andrew FranklinAug 14, 2025
  If your STERO Dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes well, several factors could be at play. Start by checking for any obstructions at the pump intake, as insufficient wash water due to a drain obstruction can prevent proper drain closing. Ensure wash and rinse arms rotate properly. Also, make sure dishes are scraped before starting the cycle. Deliming may be necessary if there are excessive mineral deposits throughout the wash and rinse system.

Why is there spotting on silverware, glasses, and dishes in my STERO Dishwasher?
- C
  Cynthia ReyesAug 21, 2025
  Spotting on your silverware, glasses, and dishes from your STERO Dishwasher could be due to several reasons. Ensure you scrape dishes before the cycle begins. If there is loss of water pressure due to pump obstruction, disconnect the electrical power supply (both dishwasher and booster if applicable) and drain the tank. The issue might also be excessively hard water.
