There are three main types of dishwashers: top-loading, front-loading, and stack-and-wash machines. Top-loading machines have a basin with a removable upper rack that sits on top of the machine. Front-loading machines have a movable arm that pulls the dishes from the bottom of the machine up to the top where they get washed. Stack-and-wash machines have multiple tiers of dish racks that sit on a rotating platform inside the machine.
There are many different parts to a dishwasher and each one has a specific role in the overall wash process.
Here is a brief guide to each part:
- The feeder arm: This is the arm that drops the dishes into the tub of water.
- The spray arm: This is where all of the detergent and water come together to create suds.
- The drain pump: This pumps water out of the dishwasher and into the sewer system.
- The motor: This provides power to the other parts of the dishwasher.
- The control panel: This contains buttons for setting parameters like temperature and time, as well as controls for water pressure and drainage.
To maintain your dishwasher, follow these tips:
- Use detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers.
- Check the filter regularly and replace it if necessary.
- Empty the dishwasher’s water and soap containers every week or two.
- Don’t overload the dishwasher. Too much food can damage the machine.
- Keep the floor of the dishwasher clean to help reduce build-up on the dishes and utensils.
