Signs That Your Dishwasher May Need A Repair

Here at Scott & Sons we have found that most of our customers depend on their dishwasher everyday. Spotting early warning signs can help you avoid breakdowns that could end up costing time and effort that you simply just don’t have.

Dirty Dishes

If your dishes still look dirty after a wash cycle in your dishwasher, this could be a sign of blocked inlets on the spray arm that could prevent water from reaching items on the top rack. Other causes could include inadequate water flow inside the dishwasher during operation or a failing inlet valve. The only thing that you can do in this situation is to check your spray arms and try to clear them of all food and debris. If this does not do the trick, calling Scott & Sons appliance repair will quickly and effectively resolve these issues

Noisy Operation

Loud or annoying noises coming from your dishwasher can be signs of several different developing issues with this essential appliance.

- A failing wash pump impeller can cause your dishwasher to make loud noises during operation.

- Grinding noises could indicate that something is jamming one of the moving parts inside of your dishwasher.

- Wash pumps and drain pumps can sometimes make buzzing noises when they are in the process of failing.

- Whining or squeezing usually indicates a problem with wash pump motor bearings.

Draining Issues

Not all drainage problems are the result of clogs or broken valves inside your dishwasher. In some cases, your kitchen drain may be clogged and may require attention before your dishwasher can operate properly. If this is not the issue, however, you may need to replace or repair your drain pump or the electronic devices and timers that control drainage for your dishwashing appliance. Scott & Sons can provide you with a professional diagnosis that is fast and accurate to help you solve your draining issue.

Leaks and Spills

Wet floors can be dangerous for you and your family. Not to mention the damage water can do to a nice wood floor. If your dishwasher is overflowing or leaking, calling Scott & Sons right away can limit or prevent the risk of more damage done to your machine.

No Power

If your dishwasher will not turn at all, check the breaker. If the electrical panel is OK, it is definitely time to call your local professional to determine the problem and to restore your appliance to proper working order. This can save you time when dealing with these issues.
