The Most Common Reasons Dishwashers Break Down

Clogged Spray Arms
If your dishes aren’t coming out clean, food particles may be clogging the spray arms. Remove and rinse them under warm water to clear any blockages. If the issue persists, our team can inspect and replace worn-out parts.

Drainage Problems
Water pooling at the bottom of your dishwasher? This is often caused by a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose, or a faulty drain pump. Regularly cleaning your dishwasher’s filter can help, but if the problem continues, professional repair may be needed.

Heating Element Failure
A dishwasher that doesn’t dry dishes properly may have a broken heating element. This can also impact how well it cleans. Our technicians can test and replace the heating element if necessary.

Malfunctioning Door Latch
If your dishwasher won’t start, check the door latch. A broken latch prevents the appliance from running because it can’t properly seal. This is a quick fix that our team can handle with ease.
