What types of dishwashers do we fix?
We repair all common dishwasher types with expert care.
Built-in Dishwasher
This most commonly seen form of the dishwasher optimally matches any kitchen furniture and decor. It does, however, have certain drawbacks. To evaluate the majority of the built-in unit’s difficulties, it must be removed from the kitchen facade, which necessitates the use of instruments and skills. For example, a hasty maneuver might rip supply or drain lines apart or even distort the dishwasher’s metal body geometry. So we strongly discourage you from trying fixing such an appliance type yourself – you may get into larger trouble before you even get started with a repair.
Double-drawer Dishwasher
This type is noticed infrequently, but that doesn’t make us any less capable of coping with its malfunctions. If one of your double dishwasher’s baskets becomes blocked, it might be due to the use of too large dinnerware. It often occurs so that the plate, acting as a “spear,” might obstruct the drawer from the inside. If both the dishwasher and the glassware are to be saved at once, the repair must proceed with caution. Double drawers may also have independent supply and drainage, and they are significantly more sophisticated than ordinary “monolith” devices.
Portable Dishwasher
Portable devices are the exact opposite of built-in items as they exist as stand-alone machines, have wheels for simple mobility, and may be installed anywhere near water drains and supply sources, including washrooms. Portables are easy to disassemble, although their internal design varies slightly. As a result, typical calamities such as dishwasher leakage are also a known condition to them. Don’t be misled by the item’s tiny size – call a professional technician to fix your portable dishwasher, and don’t tempt your fate with DIY attempts.
Countertop Dishwasher
This contemporary unit is often preferred by customers who have a limited area in their kitchens (and also not much tableware to clean daily). A stand-alone device is about the size of conventional microwave and is usually placed on the kitchen counter or table. Despite its tiny dimensions, the degree of pain it may cause the owner is equivalent to that of his larger siblings. A countertop device is built in the same way as a full-size gadget is, but on a smaller scale. It also features a small pump, drain, and water-heating components.
MOST FREQUENT BREAKDOWNS
Noisy Dishwasher
Unusual noises such as humming, grinding or rattling can indicate motor, pump, or spray arm issues. The cause of the noises could be the looseness of utensils or debris that has accumulated in the dishwasher.
Rack Issues
Over time, the racks in your dishwasher could develop the appearance of rust. You can purchase replacement racks or repair kits for frames that can fix tiny spots of rust.
Poor Drainage
In addition to not draining, some dishwashers may have issues with slow drainage, which can lead to water pooling in the bottom after a cycle. This may be due to a partially blocked drain or a worn-out drain pump.
Dishwasher Not Dispensing Detergent
If the detergent isn’t being dispensed properly, it could be due to clogged detergent compartments, a malfunctioning dispenser door, or a faulty timer.
Dishes aren’t getting cleaned
If you’re having problems getting your dishes clean, it could be due to an obstruction in the pump or filter or an issue with the spray arm. It is important to clean these parts regularly.
Water Leaks
Water Leaks can occur around the door, at the valve that allows water to enter or even in the drainage system. Find indications of water leakage around the door seals and connections.
Dishwasher Doesn’t Start
If your dishwasher isn’t starting in any way, it could be because of a broken door latch, a faulty control or timer, or a problem with your power supply.
Odors
Odors can develop if food particles are trapped within the seals or filters. Use a dishwasher cleaner during an empty cycle to get rid of odours.
Problems with the Spray Arm
When the spray arm isn’t rotating, it can result in uneven cleaning. Check for blockages or a malfunctioning spray arm motor.
Cloudy or spotty Dishes
The hard water may create mineral deposits on dishes, which can cause them to appear cloudy or spotty. Make use of a water conditioner or rinse aid.
Overheating
If your dishwasher gets excessively hot or has an unpleasant burning smell, it could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element.
Door Latch Problems
If the dishwasher door does not close properly, the dishwasher will not work. Check the door seal and latch for damage.
Uneven Water Temperature
Inconsistent temperatures could affect the performance of your washing machine. Check the settings of the dishwasher’s thermostat.
Electrical Issues
Wiring problems like loose connections or damaged wires can lead to dishwasher malfunctions. Check that the power supply is stable and check the electrical components.

What customers say
Your most common questions about dishwasher repair
Why is my dishwasher not starting at all?
If your dishwasher isn’t starting, check if it’s properly plugged in and that there’s power to the outlet. Additionally, ensure the door is fully closed and latched, as many dishwashers have safety mechanisms to prevent operation with an open door.
Why is my dishwasher not filling with water?
This could be due to a clogged water inlet valve or a faulty water inlet valve. Check if the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on and if there are any kinks or blockages in the water hose.
Why is my dishwasher not draining properly?
If your dishwasher isn’t draining, it may be due to a clogged drain hose or a blocked air gap. Also, inspect the dishwasher’s filter and drain pump for debris. In some cases, a malfunctioning drain pump may need replacement.
My dishwasher is leaking water. What should I do?
Leaks can occur from various places, such as a damaged door gasket, a loose or damaged hose, or a cracked tub. Inspect these areas for issues and replace or repair any damaged components accordingly.
Why is my dishwasher making strange noises during the cycle?
Unusual noises could be caused by foreign objects stuck in the spray arms or pump, loose components, or a worn-out motor. Check for debris and tighten loose parts. If the noise persists, it might require professional inspection and repair.
