Common Issues
Dishwasher service can involve the appliance, drain connection, water supply, installation condition and how the symptom appears during the cycle.
- Poor CleaningPoor cleaning usually points to spray-arm blockage, water-temperature, detergent or filter issues, in roughly that order of frequency.
- Standing WaterStanding water at the bottom of a dishwasher points to a drain pump, drain hose or air-gap issue.
- LeaksDishwasher leaks come from the door seal, the inlet valve, the spray-arm seals or the drain path.
- Drying ProblemsDrying problems usually point to rinse-aid, heating-element or vent-flap issues, with rinse-aid most common in modern units.
- Odor or NoiseOdor and noise often share root causes (filter, drain, pump, spray-arm) and we treat them together at intake.
