Constantly overloading puts extra strain on your dishwasher’s motor and pumps, potentially leading to premature breakdowns.
How to Avoid This Mistake
Load dishes properly: Arrange plates, bowls, and pots so water jets can easily reach all surfaces. Avoid stacking or nesting items.
Leave space between items: Give utensils and dishes room to move slightly during washing. This prevents damage and ensures thorough cleaning.
Check spray arms: Before starting, make sure nothing blocks the spray arms from spinning freely.
Don’t overfill: Follow your dishwasher’s capacity guidelines to avoid overloading. It’s better to run an extra cycle than to risk dirty or damaged dishes.
