  • Bad smell from the tub between loads
  • Detergent left in the dispenser after the cycle
  • Dishes stay wet at the end of the cycle

The Usual Dishwasher Culprits in Wheaton

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.
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.
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.

What Gets Fixed on a Wheaton Dishwasher Call

Drain pumpIf water stays in the tub after a cycle, the drain pump is tested for power and blockages. Some pumps hum but cannot move water because something is caught in the impeller.
Door gasket and tub sealsLeaks under the door usually come from a hardened or torn gasket, a cracked tub, a loose hose clamp or a pump seal. A technician removes the kick panel to see where the water starts.
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 drying dishes or dishwasher not filling with water.

If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking

Hand soap, dish soap or laundry detergent can make a dishwasher over-suds and spill water onto the floor; use only automatic dishwasher detergent. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher

A dishwasher must be grounded; if the home wiring lacks a ground or the plug does not fit the outlet, a licensed electrician should correct it rather than modifying the plug. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher User Instructions

Dishwasher Repair FAQs: Wheaton, IL

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.
What makes a dishwasher stop cleaning?
The usual causes are a clogged filter, blocked spray arm holes, water that is not hot enough when the cycle starts, the wrong amount of detergent, or loading that blocks the spray. If those are fine, a technician checks the inlet valve, the wash pump and the heating parts.
Why is there standing water in my dishwasher?
The usual causes are a clogged filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose, a garbage disposal that has not been run, or a failed drain pump. Clean the filter and check the hose first. If water still sits in the tub, a technician can test the pump.
Is my dishwasher worth fixing?
Compare the repair quote with the price of a comparable new dishwasher and consider its age. Common repairs such as inlet valves, door latches, gaskets and drain pumps are usually worth doing on a dishwasher that is otherwise in good shape. Our repair-cost guide lists published ranges.
