Dishwasher repair

When a dishwasher has standing water and is not draining, it could be due to:

• A clogged or kinked drain hose.
• A blocked garburator (garbage disposal) tube where the dishwasher drain hose connects.
• Hard debris (glass, pits, etc.) physically jamming the drain pump impeller.
• An electrically failed drain pump motor requiring replacement.

When a dishwasher is leaking onto your kitchen floor, it could be due to:

• A torn, compressed, or worn-out rubber door gasket/seal.
• A cracked drain pump housing or loose drain hose clamp.
• A leaking water inlet valve assembly underneath the unit.
• Using the wrong detergent, causing excessive suds and overflow.

When the dishwasher touchpad or control panel is unresponsive, it could be due to:

• A shorted or faulty keypad/touchpad membrane (often caused by moisture).
• The main control panel assembly requiring replacement.
• A broken door latch switch failing to signal the board to start the cycle.

When the dishwasher has absolutely no power or lights, it could be due to:

• A tripped house breaker or GFCI outlet.
• A blown internal thermal fuse in the dishwasher control panel.
• Loose or burnt electrical wire nuts at the lower junction box.
• Total failure of the main electronic control board.

When a dishwasher is making loud grinding or humming noises, it could be due to:

• Hard debris (cherry pits, olive pits, broken glass) caught in the drain pump chopper.
• A failing circulation wash motor bearing.
• A loose spray arm hitting the racks during the wash cycle.

When a dishwasher leaves dishes dirty or gritty, it could be due to:

• A severely clogged internal filter assembly restricting water flow.
• A faulty water inlet valve not filling the tub with enough water.
• Food debris blocking the water jets in the upper or lower spray arms.
• A weak circulation pump failing to create adequate wash pressure.
