Common Dishwasher Problems
If you're experiencing any of these issues with your dishwasher, our skilled technicians can help diagnose and repair the problem quickly.
Poor Cleaning Performance
If your dishes aren't getting clean, it could be due to spray arm blockages, filter clogs, improper loading, or issues with the water inlet valve. Our technicians can identify the exact cause and restore your dishwasher's cleaning power.
Leaking Water
Water pooling around your dishwasher could indicate door seal damage, hose connection issues, pump problems, or a cracked tub. We'll pinpoint the source of the leak and fix it before it causes water damage to your home.
Won't Start or Cycle Issues
If your dishwasher won't start or stops mid-cycle, it may be experiencing electrical problems, control board failures, door latch issues, or timer malfunctions that our technicians are equipped to repair.
Drainage Problems
Standing water at the bottom of your dishwasher usually points to drain pump issues, clogged filters, kinked drain hoses, or garbage disposal connections. We'll restore proper drainage and prevent potential mold growth.
Unusual Noises
Grinding, buzzing, or rattling sounds during operation often indicate a problem with the pump, motor, spray arm, or foreign objects caught in the mechanism. Our technicians can diagnose and eliminate these noises.
Heating Element Failures
If your dishes aren't drying or the water isn't getting hot enough, the heating element may be malfunctioning. This can affect both cleaning and drying performance, requiring professional repair or replacement.

Dishwasher Maintenance Tips
Follow these simple maintenance tips to keep your dishwasher running efficiently and extend its lifespan between professional service visits:
Clean the filter regularly
Remove and rinse the filter at least once a month to prevent food particles from clogging the system and causing odors.
Check spray arms
Make sure spray arm holes are clear of debris. Use a toothpick or thin wire to clean out any clogged holes that might affect water distribution.
Inspect door seals
Wipe down door gaskets monthly with a damp cloth to remove food particles and prevent leaks. Check for any cracks or tears that might need repair.
Use vinegar rinse
Run an empty dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar in the top rack monthly to eliminate odors and remove mineral buildup.
Scrape plates first
Remove large food particles before loading dishes to prevent drain clogs and improve cleaning performance.
Run hot water first
Run your kitchen faucet until the water is hot before starting your dishwasher to ensure the first fill uses hot water for better cleaning.
