What it usually means when your Hotpoint dishwasher is not cleaning dishes
Dirty dishes or plastic that stays wet often mean weak spray pressure, a failing circulation pump, low wash temperature, or a stuck diverter — not just detergent choice.
What a technician checks on site
- Inspect and clean upper and lower spray arms
- Check circulation (wash) pump flow and sump debris
- Verify inlet valve fill level and float switch
- Test heating element, thermistor, and diverter motor where equipped
