Signs Your Dishwasher Needs a Technician

  • Bad smell from the tub between loads
  • An error code on the display
  • Dishes come out dirty or gritty
  • Dishes stay wet at the end of the cycle

Why Dishwashers Break Down

Water inlet valveAn electric valve under the dishwasher lets water in. When it sticks or its screen clogs, the dishwasher fills slowly, not at all, or keeps filling.
Drain pump and drain hoseThe drain pump pushes water out through a hose that loops up under the counter. A failed pump, a kinked hose or a blocked disposal connection leaves water in the tub.
Seals and hosesDoor gaskets harden, tub seals wear and hose clamps loosen. Leaks usually start small, under the door or behind the kick panel, before they show on the floor.

Inside a Dishwasher Repair Visit

Heating element and thermostatMany dishwashers heat water and dry dishes with an element in the bottom of the tub, controlled by a thermostat or temperature sensor. Cold, wet dishes at the end of a cycle point here.
Drain hose and disposal connectionThe drain hose usually runs in a high loop under the counter or to an air gap, then into the disposal or sink drain. A kink, a clog or a new disposal with its knockout plug still in place stops the water.
Wash motor and spray armsThe circulation pump forces water through the spray arms. Weak spraying, clogged arm holes or a motor that hums without washing leave dishes dirty.

Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not draining or dishwasher not drying dishes.

Dishwasher Notes for Geneva, IL

Most dishwasher calls in Geneva 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.

How to Choose a Dishwasher Technician Near Geneva

  • What is the service call or diagnostic fee, and is it applied to the repair?
  • Will you check the filter, drain hose and disposal connection before replacing the pump?
  • Do you also handle the water supply and drain connections, or should I call a plumber for those?

Dishwasher Repair FAQs: Geneva, IL

How do I get rid of a dishwasher odor?
Food trapped in the filter and sump is the usual source, along with a drain hose that lets water back in. Clean the filter, check that the drain hose has a high loop or air gap, and run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner.
Is there anything I can try first?
Make sure the breaker is on and the door latches fully, clean the filter, and confirm the water supply valve under the sink is open. If the dishwasher is leaking, shut off the water supply and power before doing anything else.
What should I do if my dishwasher is leaking?
A slow leak can soak the subfloor and cabinet before you see it. Turn off the water supply valve and the power to the dishwasher, wipe up the water and call a technician to find whether it is the door gasket, a hose, the pump or the tub.
Why are my dishes still wet?
Many newer dishwashers dry by condensation and need rinse aid to dry well, especially plastics. If dishes stay soaked on a model that uses a heating element or fan, the element, thermostat or fan may have failed.
