Making the FFCD2413 (Entry Dishwasher) last#
To keep your dishwasher running efficiently, clean the filter assembly every 1-2 weeks, run an empty hot cycle with dishwasher cleaner or white vinegar monthly, and use rinse aid for better drying results. Load dishes so that nothing blocks the spray arm rotation — the spray arms must spin freely for proper cleaning. Scrape but do not pre-rinse dishes — modern dishwashers need some food residue for the soil sensor to determine the correct cycle intensity.
