What Makes Amana Dishwasher Repairs Different

What Amana Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not draining. Amana says to cut power and water, remove standing water, clean the filters and sump, then check the drain hose for kinks, a missing high loop, a clogged air gap, or an unremoved disposer knockout plug. Source: Amana - Dishwasher Not Draining
- Dishwasher not filling. Amana says to make sure the water supply valve is open, the overflow float moves freely, and the drain loop is high enough to prevent siphoning. Source: Amana - Why Your Dishwasher Isn't Working

What Reno Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Reno come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Nevada has no license class for appliance repair as such; contracting work on gas piping, gas vents and water heaters falls under the State Contractors Board's C-1 plumbing and heating subclassifications. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
In Nevada, you can check a license with the Nevada State Contractors Board License Search or report a problem to the Nevada Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Protection.
