How to Know if Your Dishwasher Needs Repair Work

Your dishwasher issues can present themselves in several ways. Here are some things to look out for:

Dishes aren’t clean after a cycle

Inadequately cleaned dishes often means blocked spray arms or a damaged wash impeller, but it may also mean a faulty heating element that may need replacing.

Cloudy glassware

This may be due to various reasons, from poor drainage to a faulty rinse-aid dispenser to hard water in your area.

Pools of water on the floor

Leaks are often due to worn out door seals but may be due to something as simple as too much detergent.

Water doesn’t drain

A clogged drain line or a burnt-out solenoid can prevent dirty water from pumping out of your dishwasher unit.

The motor runs, but no washing occurs

If your unit starts, makes a humming sound, and then fails to wash your dishes, the motor may have burnt out and need to be replaced.
