My smeg dishwasher isn't getting everything clean any more. How can I tell if both the upper and lower spray bars are running.

I put 2 cups of white vinegar into the empty dishwasher and let it run a cycle with the vinegar. It gets rid of skum and clears the drains very well. It always works for me and also check your rinse aid and salt this may need topping up.

The arms on the D/W turn by the spray of water from the holes. the holes are directional that is why thay turn take them of and make sure the holes are not blocked. If they are ok. you can look at the way they are faceing to start with then start it and let it run and open the door if they are still in the same place then you will know they are not moveing.there are new D/W that will have a port hole in them like a W/M that will help
