Common Dishwasher Repair Questions & Answers
Some possible causes of poor cleaning include: blocked spray arms, dirty filters, wrong detergent use, water temperature problems or a broken pump. We can easily pinpoint the problem and have it solved so that your dishwasher can work properly again. What should I do if my dishwasher is leaking water? First, turn off the dishwasher and sop up the water that has gathered. The most usual causes of leaks are: worn out door seals, loose connections, cracked hoses or a bad pump. It is safer to have a professional technician come and check what is causing the leak.
For best results, dishwasher filters should be cleaned once a month. But if you use your dishwasher very often or wash dirty dishes, you may need to clean the filter every two weeks. It helps to clean the filter to eliminate odours and enhance the cleaning process.
Noises such as grinding, buzzing or thumping may be due to objects entered into the pump, foods or small particles stuck in the spray arm, worn out motor bearings or damaged pump. Our technicians will know what is causing the noise and how to fix it.
These problems are most times caused by blocked filters, blocked drain hoses, defective drain pumps, or problems with the air gap. It is possible that the garbage disposal can also be clogged. Our repair experts are well placed to address problems with drainage.
A good dishwasher has a life expectancy of 7-12 years with moderate usage and maintenance. But parts may need repair at some point. Our technicians can determine if repair is feasible or if it would be more economical to replace your appliance based on its age.
Newer and more energy-saving dishwashers can have longer cycles of 2-3 hours to use less water and power but still get the same level of cleaning. However, prolonged cycles could be attributed to sensor failures, heating elements, or water supply restrictions. If your dishwasher has started to run for far longer than it used to, it may require professional service.
