  • Bad smell from the tub between loads
  • Dishwasher fills slowly or does not fill
  • Standing water in the bottom after a cycle
  • Dishes come out dirty or gritty

The Usual Dishwasher Culprits in Franklin

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.
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.
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.

Inside a Dishwasher Repair Visit

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.
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.
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.

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

If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking

A leak from the water supply line tends to show up as dampness under the front of the unit; leaks at the door often trace back to a dirty, loose or damaged gasket, a bent or loose latch, or a unit that is not level. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher

Built-in dishwashers are typically specified for their own properly grounded 120-volt branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse, with no extension cords or adapter plugs. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions

Dishwasher Notes for Franklin, WI

Most dishwasher calls in Franklin 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.

Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices. Source: DSPS: Plumbing License Laws in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.

Before You Book in Franklin

  • 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?
  • If a part has to be ordered, how soon can you come back to finish?

Dishwasher Repair FAQs: Franklin, WI

Why are my dishes still dirty after a cycle?
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.
Do you cover Franklin and nearby towns?
The companies on this page are within driving distance of Franklin. Each one sets its own service area, so check the distance shown and confirm your address when you call.
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.
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.
