Problems We Fix

Dishwasher won't start

Check if the door latch is stuck and clean food debris on the door gaskets. If this does not help, your dishwasher may have a faulty motor or burnt electrical parts. Call your dishwasher repair technician to repair the motor or replace damaged parts.

Dishwasher Leakage

Another common dishwasher repair issue is leakage. Leakages are dangerous due to the potential for secondary accidents such as slips and the danger of electric shocks. Faulty dishwasher doors, worn-out gaskets, and the use of excess soap can all cause leaks. Clean the door gaskets or have them replaced and ensure that they lock correctly. A faulty float switch can also cause dishwasher leakages. The float switch regulates the amount of water in the dishwasher. A defective switch puts too much water into the dishwasher, causing leakage. Clean any food particles accumulated on the switch to resolve the leakage, or call dishwasher service in your area.

Dishes come out dirty

Next, the dishwasher repair issue is overloading and incorrect dish stacking that causes dirty dishes to come out of a wash cycle. Arrange your dirty dishes so the water from the spray arm can reach the bottom of cooking pots. Additionally, scrape off excess food debris from your dishes before loading. Dirty spray arms and clogged filters can also cause your utensils to come out dirty. Blocked drainage also means that your dishes are rinsed with dirty water. Check and refill your rinse aid compartment if your dishes have water spots. You need to contact dishwasher appliance repair experts if you can't solve the issue.

Dishwasher makes loud noises

If your dishwasher makes loud and unusual noises, you may have faulty components or obstructed moving parts. Bend spray arms and over stacked dishes will produce noises as the dishwasher runs. Worn-out seals and bearing rings also cause rattling noises and need replacement. Call a dishwasher repair technician to inspect the pump and replace any worn-out or broken parts.

Dishwasher smells bad

Avoid leaving your dishes in the dishwasher for extended periods. Trapped food debris at the filters and screens will produce a foul smell after some time. Clean the filters and screens regularly and pre-rinse dishes before loading to reduce food particles in the dishwasher. Melted plastic may also cause a chemical smell. Plastic dishes may fall, coming into contact with the heating element.
