Dishwasher Repair

Common Dishwasher Problems We Address in Western Michigan

We understand how frustrating it can be when your dishwasher isn’t working properly. Whether it's leaving dishes dirty, leaking water, or refusing to start, our expert technicians are here to help. Below are some of the most common issues we resolve:

Not Cleaning Properly

If your dishes are still coming out dirty, the issue could be clogged spray arms, a dirty filter, or a malfunctioning pump. Our team will clean and inspect all components to restore your dishwasher’s cleaning performance.

Leaking Water

Water leakage is often caused by damaged door seals, worn-out hoses, or a broken water inlet valve. We’ll locate the source of the leak and repair it to prevent any further water damage in your kitchen.

Not Starting

A dishwasher that won’t start could be due to a faulty door latch, broken timer, malfunctioning control board, or a blown fuse. We’ll quickly identify and fix the problem, so you don’t have to hand wash all your dishes.

Strange Noises

Grinding, buzzing, or rattling sounds may indicate problems with the motor, pump, or debris stuck in the spray arms. We’ll pinpoint the cause of the noise and repair it to restore peace and quiet to your kitchen.

Not Draining

If your dishwasher isn’t draining, it could be due to a clogged drain hose, a malfunctioning pump, or a blocked drain filter. We’ll clear the blockage and ensure your dishwasher drains properly, so you don’t have to worry about standing water.

Steps for Troubleshooting and Fixing Common Dishwasher Issues

When your dishwasher starts acting up, we follow a thorough and systematic process to identify and resolve the problem:

Initial Inspection

Our technicians start by visually inspecting the dishwasher for any obvious signs of damage, leaks, or worn-out components like seals, hoses, and spray arms.

Diagnostic Testing

We use advanced diagnostic tools to test the dishwasher’s electrical components (e.g., door latch, control board, timer) and mechanical parts (e.g., pump, motor, spray arms). This helps us pinpoint the root cause of the problem.

Identifying Blockages

If your dishwasher isn’t draining or cleaning properly, we check for clogs in the drain hose, filter, or spray arms. We clear any blockages, clean out debris, and make sure water flows freely through all parts

Component Checks and Replacements

If a part has worn out or failed (such as the door latch, motor, or pump), we’ll replace it with high-quality, manufacturer-approved parts. This ensures your dishwasher runs smoothly and reliably.

Post-Repair Testing

After making the necessary repairs, we run a cycle or two to test the dishwasher’s performance. We check that it’s cleaning dishes thoroughly, draining correctly, and running without strange noises.

Customer Education

Once the repair is complete, we provide you with tips on how to maintain your dishwasher to prevent future issues. This includes advice on regularly cleaning filters, checking door seals, and running maintenance cycles.
