Common Signs Your Dishwasher Needs Repair
A dishwasher is a convenient appliance that simplifies kitchen cleaning. However, like any machine, it can develop issues over time. Recognizing the signs that indicate a need for professional dishwasher repairs in Calgary can help prevent further damage and costly replacements.
  • Unusual noises
A properly functioning dishwasher operates with a steady, low hum. If you hear grinding, rattling, or buzzing noises, there may be an issue with the motor, pump, or spray arms. Ignoring these sounds could lead to further mechanical damage.
  • Water leaks
Leaks around the dishwasher door or underneath the appliance may indicate a faulty door seal, loose hose connections, or a malfunctioning pump. Water damage to the surrounding flooring and cabinetry can result if the issue is not promptly addressed.
  • Incomplete wash cycles
If the dishwasher stops mid-cycle or fails to complete a wash, the issue may be related to the control board, thermal fuse, or door latch. A professional technician can assess and repair these components to restore proper function.
  • Standing water inside the dishwasher
Water pooling at the bottom of the dishwasher after a cycle indicates a drainage problem. A clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or malfunctioning drain pump may be responsible for this issue.
  • Poor cleaning performance
Dishes that remain dirty after a complete wash cycle suggest a problem with water pressure, spray arm movement, or detergent distribution. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can prevent a decline in cleaning efficiency.

Why Is Your Dishwasher Leaking? Common Causes and Solutions
A leaking dishwasher can cause significant damage to your kitchen. Identifying the cause early can help mitigate further problems.
 
Faulty Door Seal
Over time, the rubber gasket around the dishwasher door may wear out or become damaged, allowing water to escape. Replacing the gasket can resolve this issue.
 
Loose or Damaged Hose Connections
Water supply and drain hoses can develop cracks or become loose. Inspecting and tightening connections or replacing damaged hoses can prevent leaks.
 
Overfilled Detergent Dispenser
Excessive detergent can create excessive suds, which may leak from the dishwasher. Following the manufacturer's detergent guidelines helps prevent this issue.
 
Clogged or Malfunctioning Drain
If the drain is blocked, water may back up and leak onto the floor. Clearing debris from the filter and drain hose can resolve minor clogs. If the problem persists, the drain pump may require professional repair.
 
Cracked or Warped Tub
In older dishwashers, the internal tub may develop cracks due to prolonged use and exposure to high temperatures. A damaged tub may require professional replacement.
 
Why Isn't Your Dishwasher Draining Properly?
A dishwasher that fails to drain can lead to water accumulation and potential damage. Several factors may cause this issue.
  • Clogged filter
Dishwasher filters collect food particles and debris to prevent them from clogging the drain. If the filter becomes blocked, water may not drain properly. Cleaning the filter regularly ensures proper drainage.
  • Blocked drain hose
The drain hose transports wastewater from the dishwasher to the sink drain. A kinked or clogged hose can obstruct water flow. Checking and straightening the hose can restore proper drainage.
  • Malfunctioning drain pump
The drain pump expels water from the dishwasher at the end of each cycle. If the pump is defective, it may require professional repair or replacement.
  • Garbage disposal connection issues
If the dishwasher is connected to a garbage disposal, a blockage in the disposal unit can affect drainage. Running the disposal before using the dishwasher can help prevent clogs.
 
Why Isn't Your Dishwasher Cleaning Dishes Properly?
Several factors may affect cleaning performance if dishes come out dirty after a complete wash cycle.
 
Spray Arm Blockage
Spray arms distribute water throughout the dishwasher. Water flow may be restricted if they become clogged with food particles or mineral deposits. Cleaning the spray arms ensures even water distribution.
 
Low Water Temperature
Dishwashers require hot water for effective cleaning. Dishes may not be thoroughly cleaned if the water temperature is too low. Ensuring the water heater is set to at least 120°F (49°C) can improve wash performance.
 
Insufficient Detergent or Wrong Type
Using too little detergent or an incompatible type can affect cleaning efficiency. For optimal results, use high-quality dishwasher detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
 
Faulty Circulation Pump
The circulation pump distributes water through the spray arms. If it fails, dishes may not be adequately cleaned. A professional inspection can determine if the pump needs repair or replacement.
 
Overloading the Dishwasher
Too many dishes in the dishwasher or blocked spray arms can reduce water coverage. Ensuring proper loading techniques can improve cleaning performance.
