Dishwasher Problems Worth a Service Call

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

What Usually Goes Wrong

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.
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.
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.

Inside a Dishwasher Repair Visit

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.
Filter and sumpMost dishwashers have a filter assembly at the bottom of the tub that catches food and debris. A technician pulls it, cleans the sump beneath it and checks for glass or bones before replacing any parts, because a clog can make a healthy pump look broken.
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.

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

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

What Aberdeen Owners Should Know

Most dishwasher calls in Aberdeen 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.

Washington's Department of Labor & Industries issues an appliance repair (07D) specialty electrician certificate that covers like-for-like repair and replacement of self-contained appliances such as ovens on an unchanged circuit, but excludes branch-circuit wiring and plumbing work.

In Washington, you can check a license with the L&I Verify a Contractor, Tradesperson or Business or report a problem to the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection.

How to Choose a Dishwasher Technician Near Aberdeen

  • If the dishwasher is leaking, will you pull the kick panel to find where the water starts?
  • How often do you repair your brand dishwashers, and how quickly can you get parts?
  • Do you also handle the water supply and drain connections, or should I call a plumber for those?

Dishwasher Repair FAQs: Aberdeen, WA

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.
Should I repair or replace my dishwasher?
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.
