Dishwasher operation explained in plain English. I'll show you how to load it properly, which program does what, where everything goes, and how to fix the common issues that aren't actually broken - just user error.
### You're Not Using It Properly (Nobody Is)
Here's the truth: **most people load dishwashers wrong**. Bowls facing the wrong way, glasses blocking the spray arms, cutlery nested together so nothing gets clean.
Then they use the wrong program (or just press the same button every time), wonder why their dishes aren't clean, and assume the dishwasher is rubbish.
> 💡 **Usually it's not the dishwasher.** It's just that nobody showed you how to use it properly.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Just moved house?** This is one of the most common requests from people who've inherited a dishwasher with the property. Twenty minutes getting shown how it works saves months of frustration. **Finding the manual:** If you want the actual manual for your model, search "[brand] [model number] manual PDF" online. Model number is usually inside the door. But I can explain it quicker. **The salt thing:** Yes, you really do need dishwasher salt even if you use all-in-one tablets. It softens the water, stops limescale, and prevents that white film. Exeter water is quite hard, so it matters here. **Old dishwashers:** If your dishwasher is 10+ years old, it might not have all the fancy sensors modern ones do. I'll show you what you've got and how to get the best from it.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dishwasher help in Teignmouth
What exactly will you teach me about my dishwasher?
Everything you need to know - how to load it so things actually get clean, which program to use for what, where the salt/rinse aid/detergent goes and why, what those warning lights mean, and how to sort out simple problems. Basically, stop guessing and actually use the thing properly.
My dishwasher came with my house - is this different from getting a new one?
Yes - that's actually the perfect situation for this service. When you buy new, you get an instruction book. When it comes with the house, you're just... guessing? I'll show you how your specific model works, including any quirks.
Will you fix my dishwasher if it's broken?
This is about learning to use it, not repair. But if something's obviously wrong while I'm there (like it just needs salt or the filter's clogged), I'll point it out. For actual repairs you'd need an appliance engineer.
How long does a dishwasher tutorial take?
Usually 30-45 minutes. Run through the controls, load it together while I explain the technique, talk about the programs, show you maintenance stuff. Long enough to actually understand it, not so long you're bored.
This feels like a silly thing to call someone out for?
Not at all - I get this request regularly. Most people have been loading dishwashers wrong for years and wondering why things don't come clean. Twenty minutes of explanation saves you years of frustration. Not silly, just sensible.
