Signs Your Dishwasher Needs a Technician

  • An error code on the display
  • Dishes stay wet at the end of the cycle
  • Detergent left in the dispenser after the cycle
  • Dishwasher will not start or the lights blink

Why Dishwashers Break Down

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.
Clogged filters and drain pathsFood, labels and broken glass collect in the filter assembly and the sump. A clogged filter is behind many not-draining and not-cleaning calls, and it is the first thing a technician checks.
Heating and drying partsMany dishwashers heat water with an element in the tub and use heat, a fan or condensation to dry. A failed element or thermostat leaves dishes cold and wet.

What a Dishwasher Repair Technician Checks

Controls and sensorsElectronic dishwashers rely on a control board, a turbidity or soil sensor on many models, and temperature sensors. Error codes and blinking lights help narrow the diagnosis before parts are ordered.
Door latch and switchesThe door latch tells the controls the door is shut. A worn latch or failed switch stops the dishwasher from starting, and it is one of the most common parts replaced.
Water inlet valveAn electric valve meters fresh water into the tub. A technician checks its screen for debris and tests the coil when the dishwasher fills slowly, does not fill, or overfills.

Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not cleaning dishes or dishwasher not filling with water.

If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking

Repair or Replace Your Dishwasher?

A unit that has needed repairs more than once or twice within a year is a candidate for replacement. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dishwasher?
