Repairing Common Dishwasher Issues
We all know that dishwashers wash and dry dishes, but the appliance is more complicated than that and has many moving parts with potential problems. Check out the following common dishwasher issues and contact us if you encounter any of them:
- Cloudy glassware – Your glassware should not be cloudy after running the dishwasher. If you do notice cloudy glassware, you likely have extremely hard water. Rinse your dishes well before you load them in the dishwasher. If you still have a problem, you may need to install a water softener in your home.
- Dishes are not clean – If you run your dishwasher only to open it and find dirty dishes, you have a right to be frustrated. Some possible reasons why your dishes are not getting cleaned all the way include a burned-out heating element, blocked spray armholes, or a worn wash impeller or pump assembly.
- Wash cycles run too long – Dishwashers can run too long because they have trouble completing the cycle due to a malfunctioning timer or defective thermostat.
- Water does not pump out – Sometimes, water does not get removed from the dishwasher as it should. This problem can be caused by a clogged drain line, a worn-out drain solenoid, or a problem with the drain impeller.
- Dishwasher hums and turns off – If you hear a humming noise coming from the dishwasher, you likely have a motor that has seized and requires replacement.
- Dishwasher doesn’t fill with water – Trying to start your dishwasher but not having any water fill in it could mean you have a defective water inlet solenoid, failed valve, stuck or defective overflow float switch, or malfunctioning timer.
- Dishwasher leaks – One of the most common reasons that dishwashers leak is that homeowners use the wrong type of soap or too much soap. Double-check to see that your soap matches up with manufacturer specifications and that you aren’t using too much. Other reasons for leaky dishwashers include a leaking pump or motor assembly, worn door gaskets, or issues with your tub-to-motor gaskets or spray arm assemblies.

Dishwasher Maintenance Tips
Taking good care of your dishwasher can help you avoid significant problems with your kitchen appliance. Decrease the buildup of hard water by cleaning your dishwasher with vinegar once every three or four months. Perform this task by pouring one cup of vinegar into the dishwasher and running a normal cycle without any dishes. Your dishwasher will clean itself during this process. Here are some additional things you can do to help extend the life of your dishwasher:
- Scrape off all the leftover food on your dishes before you put them into your dishwasher.
- Clean your filters regularly and replace them when they appear damaged.
- Clean out any food residue collected in your dishwasher by wiping the door seal using a dishrag with white vinegar.
- Avoid overloading your dishwasher.
