Here are a few of the most common problems with dishwashers and some possible solutions and tips you can take to fix the problem. If these tips don't help, it may be time to call out an experienced dishwasher repair service to take a look.
Dishwasher is making loud or funny sounds - This is probably the most common complaint we receive from customers. First check the arm sprayers to make sure that you aren't wobbly and are turning freely. If they are loose they may be causing the arm sprayer to hit the dish rack or dishes and that may be causing the noise. Check to make sure the arm seal or bearing ring isn't worn. If that's not it, it may be that the pump is defective. The pump pressurizes the arm sprayers and drains water which you can test with a multimeter. Have a trained appliance medic come take a look.
Dishwasher isn't cleaning properly or the dishes are coming out dirty - Use a rinse aid in your dishwasher if utensils are coming out with spots. Clean out your dishwasher from any stuck food or other obstructions and remove visible waste at the bottom of your appliance. Clean out all the grime from macerator, arm sprayers, and screen and make sure there are no mineral deposits. You can use a good dishwasher cleaning agent to help make the job easier. If glasses are coming out cloudy or white, then you may have hard water, which may be fixed by using a hard water detergent. If these steps don't help, a skilled dishwasher repair man can help diagnose the issue.
The dishwasher is not draining properly - Check first to make sure that there is no stuck food or other obstructions that are blocking the drain pump. Next check the drain pipe to see if its clogged. If not, then you could have one of several issues happening. You could have a problem with your drain impeller, motor, or pump. The last thing you want to do is run a cycle on your dishwasher and have the kitchen flood. Call our appliance repair companyto get this looked at.
Dishwasher is leaking or flooding - You may have a worn or faulty door seal or gasket which explain why the dishwasher leaks. A faulty float switch assembly could be causing your dishwasher to overflow. The issue may also be the drainage hose, pump seal, or the pump itself.
Dishwasher won't turn on - Check to make sure that your dishwasher is plugged in properly and there are no breaks or damage in the wiring. Then check your circuit breaker box to make sure that the fuse is not blown or the electric switch is not tripped off. Our dishwasher repair service can help fix this issue.
Dishes are not drying properly - the dryer mechanism may be damaged or faulty.
Dishwasher stinks - this a more common complaint than you think. Try these expert tips first. Remove and clean the drain filter from the bottom of the dishwasher and make sure there is no food or debris in the drain. Then clean the spray arms which may have gotten clogged with food. Next wipe down the inside of the dishwasher, door, and racks to remove any grime. Next check the drain hose and ensure there is no standing water at the bottom of the unit. Finally try cleaning your dishwasher with vinegar in one cycle and baking soda in another. Do not mix put the 2 together in one cycle.
