Ikea Dishwasher takes too long
If your Ikea dishwasher takes too long to finish a cycle, the problem is often tied to weak water flow and poor wash performance, not just a timer issue. A damaged wash impeller is the most likely cause, since this small blade pushes water through the wash arms and can’t build enough pressure if fins are broken or missing. Next, check the filter assembly, filter, screen filter, and strainer in the sump. If any of these are clogged with food debris, your dishwasher may run a long wash cycle because water flow is restricted and the machine is not washing properly. If those parts are clear, the circulation pump is another common cause. A failing circulation pump may hum, stay quiet after filling, or struggle to move water through the spray arm system, which can leave dishes still dirty after the dishwasher cycle and extend run time. For the exact fix, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the right Ikea dishwasher replacement part, whether that is a wash impeller, filter assembly, screen filter, strainer, or circulation pump for your specific model.
01 - Ikea Dishwasher Wash Impeller
The wash impeller is a small plastic blade that forces water up through the wash arms. If the impeller is broken or is missing some of its fins, it might not generate enough pressure to force the water up through the wash arms. On most models, you can replace the wash impeller independently of the pump and motor assembly. Search for your model number to determine if your impeller is replaceable. If the impeller cannot be replaced separately, you will have to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

Highly Likely
02 - Ikea Dishwasher Filter Assembly
A dishwasher's filter assembly usually consists of both a course and a fine filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
03 - Ikea Dishwasher Filter
A dishwasher's filter assembly usually consists of both a course and a fine filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

04 - Ikea Dishwasher Screen Filter
A dishwasher will usually have both a course and a fine screen filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

05 - Ikea Dishwasher Strainer
Dishwashers will use a strainer located in the sump to catch food particles. If the strainer is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the stainer cannot be cleaned effectively or is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - Ikea Dishwasher Circulation Pump
The circulation pump uses a motor and impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the circulation pump is defective, the dishes won’t be cleaned properly. If the motor isn’t making any noise or is just making a humming sound after the dishwasher has filled, the motor may be burned out. First, ensure that power is getting to the motor. Second, to ensure that the impeller can turn, check the pump housing for debris. If power is getting to the motor and the pump is clear of debris, the motor might need to be replaced. Be aware that the circulation pump may be challenging to replace, although many do-it-yourselfers ha...
