Your Dishwasher Won’t Start
If you load up your dishwasher, get the detergent in it, and press the start cycle – only for nothing to happen – it could be a smaller issue than you would guess. At American Appliance Repair we have found that the most common reasons for dishwashers not starting is usually something simple like a door switch that needs to be replaced, a broken door latch, or a blown thermal fuse.
The best way to prevent any of these
issues from occurring is to be sure that you are gentle when opening
and closing your dishwasher.
Your Dishwasher Won’t Drain
Opening your
dishwasher after it has supposedly finished its cycle, only to
discover standing water, is not a good experience. This can lead to
significant damage and flooding if you do not have it taken care of.
Flooding can be caused by something as simple as a clogged drain
line. It can also be caused by the failure of the drain pump or valve
malfunction. To reduce the chance that your drain filter will get
clogged and cause standing water, make sure you are clearing debris
away from it every few cycles.
Your Dishwasher is Not Dispensing Dishwashing
Detergent
If your detergent dispenser is
routinely closed or full of dishwashing detergent after the cycle
finishes, there are a few potential causes. It could be that the
latch to dispense the detergent is faulty, the control board could be
failing or the dispenser module could be damaged. To prevent these
issues, make sure you are not adding too much detergent, as this can
cause the dispenser to become damaged over time.
Your Dishwasher is Not Cleaning Dishes Well
Enough
If you notice that your dishwasher is
not cleaning as well as it once did, stop washing everything a second
time and instead call American Appliance Repair for help. A variety of issues can
cause poor cleaning including broken spray arms, issues with the
circulation pump, or a defective water inlet valve. Make sure that
you are not overloading the washer because this can lead to poor
cleaning.
