Dishwasher Problems Worth a Service Call

  • Water on the floor in front of the dishwasher
  • Dishwasher fills slowly or does not fill
  • Dishes come out dirty or gritty
  • Dishes stay wet at the end of the cycle

The Usual Dishwasher Culprits in Burlington

Door latch and switchesA dishwasher will not start unless the door latch tells the control it is closed. Worn latches and switches are a common cause of a dishwasher that does nothing.
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.
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 a Dishwasher Repair Technician Checks

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.
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.
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.

Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher smells bad or dishwasher not draining.

Before Anyone Touches the Dishwasher

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

Local Notes for Burlington

Most dishwasher calls in Burlington 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.

No separate Vermont appliance repair license was identified, but anyone who installs, inspects or services natural gas or propane systems, including appliances, must hold a gas certification from the Division of Fire Safety.

In Vermont, you can check a license with the DFS Licensing MasterList (Vermont Open Data: licensed electricians, plumbers and gas certifications) or report a problem to the Vermont Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance Program.

Dishwasher Repair FAQs: Burlington, VT

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.
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.
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.
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.
