Common Dishwasher Problems We Repair
Dishwasher Not Draining
A dishwasher that will not drain may have a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, failed drain pump, jammed garbage disposal connection, or debris inside the sump area.
Dishwasher Leaking Water
Dishwasher leaks may come from a worn door gasket, loose hose connection, damaged inlet valve, cracked spray arm, over-sudsing, or a problem with the tub or float assembly.
Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes
If dishes come out dirty, cloudy, or still covered in food, the issue may involve clogged spray arms, poor water circulation, low water temperature, detergent issues, or a failing wash motor.
Dishwasher Not Starting
A dishwasher that will not start may have a door latch problem, control board failure, touchpad issue, power problem, float switch issue, or wiring concern.
Dishwasher Making Noise
Grinding, humming, buzzing, or rattling sounds may point to a worn pump, blocked chopper blade, debris in the motor area, spray arm contact, or a failing circulation motor.
Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes
Drying issues may be related to rinse aid, heating element problems, vent failures, fan issues, thermostat problems, or cycle selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my dishwasher not draining?
A dishwasher may fail to drain because of a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, failed drain pump, garbage disposal connection problem, or debris inside the sump area.
Why is my dishwasher leaking?
Dishwasher leaks may be caused by a worn door gasket, damaged inlet valve, loose hose, cracked spray arm, over-sudsing, or a problem with the float assembly.
Why are my dishes still dirty after a dishwasher cycle?
Poor cleaning may be caused by clogged spray arms, low water temperature, incorrect detergent, poor loading, restricted water flow, or a failing wash motor.
Why is there water left in the bottom of my dishwasher?
Standing water may point to a clogged drain path, drain pump failure, blocked filter, kinked drain hose, or installation issue.
Should I repair or replace my dishwasher?
The best choice depends on the dishwasher’s age, condition, brand, repair cost, and the type of failure. A professional diagnosis can help you make the right decision.
