FAQ
Dishwasher Repair Questions
Why is my dishwasher not cleaning dishes?
Poor cleaning is most often caused by blocked spray arms, a clogged filter or sump, a failing wash pump, a water inlet valve not delivering enough pressure, or a detergent dispenser that isn't opening at the right time. Low water temperature can also reduce cleaning performance. All of these require proper diagnosis to pinpoint before parts are ordered.
Why is my dishwasher not draining?
Standing water after a cycle is usually caused by a clogged drain filter, a blocked or kinked drain hose, a failed drain pump motor, or a garbage disposal knockout that was never removed during installation. It gets worse over time, so earlier service is generally less expensive.
Is it worth repairing a dishwasher?
Most common dishwasher failures — pump, inlet valve, door latch, spray arms, control board — are cost-effective repairs on a machine in otherwise good condition. A service call diagnosis is the right first step to determine whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
