Problems we fix most often

Water left in the bottom

A clogged filter, a blocked drain hose or air gap, or a newly installed garbage disposal with its knockout plug still in place. If those are clear, the drain pump may have failed.

Dishes come out dirty or gritty

Blocked spray arms, a clogged filter, water that isn't hot enough, or a wash motor that's losing strength.

Leaking from the door or underneath

A worn door seal, a cracked spray arm, a failing pump seal, or a loose supply fitting under the unit.

Won't start, or stops mid-cycle

A faulty door latch switch, a blown thermal fuse, or a control board fault. Any code on the display helps narrow it down.

Dishes don't dry

A failed heating element or vent, or an empty rinse-aid dispenser. Many newer models rely on rinse aid to dry properly.

Worth checking before you call

Quick, safe things that sometimes solve it. If they don't, we'll take it from there.

  • Twist out the filter at the bottom of the tub and rinse it under the tap.
  • Run the kitchen tap until it's hot before you start a cycle.
  • If a garbage disposal was just installed, check that the drain knockout plug was removed.
  • Make sure nothing tall is stopping the spray arms from turning.

Questions about dishwasher repair

Is a little water in the bottom normal?

A damp tub is normal. Standing water after a finished cycle is not. Clean the filter first, and if water still stands, call us.

Is my dishwasher worth repairing?

Dishwashers typically last around 9 to 10 years. Pumps, door latches, seals and heating elements are usually worth fixing.

There's a code on the display. What does it mean?

Codes differ between brands and models. Note it down, along with the model number on the edge of the door, and tell us when you call. It tells us where to start.
