DISHWASHER TROUBLESHOOTING

CONSTANT/LOUD SOUNDS

We are trained in identifying and repairing dishwasher issues that cause loud sounds to come from the appliance. The reason for the sounds is usually a broken washer arm bearing, pump housing or motor bushing. Because these are common issues, you can rely on us to fix them ASAP!

LEAKING WATER

There are usually two reasons a dishwasher will leak water. The first reason is there’s an issue with the door closure or latch and it will need to be replaced. The second reason is a failed water inlet valve that will need to be repaired immediately upon our arrival to your house. We have all of the parts to fix GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore and common brands of dishwashers.

WON’T START

First, if a dishwasher does not start or turn on, you need to ensure the appliance is plugged in and that none of the circuit breakers in the kitchen tripped. If that is not the problem, the issue might be the door closure switches, thermal fuses, electronic controls or motor relays.

DOESN’T DRAIN OR FILL

Your dishwasher is designed to fill with water and then drain water after cleaning the dishes. Your dishwasher doesn’t fill if there’s a broken door latch or float switch or a broken water inlet valve. A dishwasher doesn’t drain when there is a malfunctioning drain hose or pump motor on the unit.

WON’T WASH DISHES

A dishwasher is not of much use if dishes are dirty after a cycle. The dishes can be dirty if there is a broken housing gasket, filter or water tube or spray arm. We have parts available to fix these dishwasher issues in no time.

WON’T DRY DISHES

The reasons to own a dishwasher is for it to wash and dry dishes. You don’t want to hand dry dishes and silverware after a cycle. Your dishwasher does not dry when there is a broken rinse aid dispenser, heating element or thermostat. We are able to repair or replace manufacturer parts that perform the drying functions of all models of dishwashers.

WON’T DISPENSE DETERGENT

In order for a dishwasher to be able to wash dishes, it must be able to dispense detergent or soap within the machine. This does not happen when there is a broken bi-metal release, timer or wax motor.
