Common problems with dishwasher repairs:

Cleaning Performance Issues

The most reported dishwasher problem is dishes not getting clean properly, affecting approximately 11% of users. This can be caused by:

  • Malfunctioning inner cleaning mechanisms
  • Clogged or broken wash arms that distribute water
  • Faulty circulation pumps that force water onto dishes
  • Impeller damage, which affects water pressure needed for spray arms to spin

Water issues account for many dishwasher repairs:

  • Leaking (6% of complaints), often caused by faulty inlet valves or damaged seals
  • Overflowing due to broken water valves or malfunctioning switches/timers
  • Drainage problems (7% of complaints), typically from clogged drains or failed drain pumps
  • Water inlet valve failures from mineral deposits or debris accumulation

Mechanical and Electrical Failures

Several mechanical components commonly break down:

  • Control panel malfunctions (7% of complaints)
  • Pump and motor issues, accounting for approximately 25% of breakdowns
  • Heating element failures (about 15% of dishwasher malfunctions)
  • Dish rack breakage (5% of complaints)

Noise Issues

Excessive noise during operation often indicates:

  • Loose internal parts rattling around
  • Damaged impeller (produces a loud growling sound)
  • Pump or motor problems

Common Issues with Dishwashers

Cleaning Performance Issues

Dishes not getting properly cleaned is a frequent complaint with several potential causes. This can happen due to dirty filters that restrict water flow, obstructed spray arms preventing proper water distribution, or incorrect loading of dishes that prevents water and detergent from reaching all surfaces. Hard water conditions can also lead to white film or spots on glassware.

Drainage Problems

Poor drainage is another common issue, typically characterized by standing water in the dishwasher tub after a cycle. While about an inch of standing water is normal, excessive water indicates a problem. This is often caused by clogged filters or drain systems. Drainage issues can lead to unpleasant odors and potential bacterial growth if not addressed.

Water and Leaking Issues

Dishwasher leaks can occur due to damaged drainage hoses, faulty pumps, bad door seals (especially in older machines), or improper loading. Other potential causes include a door that isn't sealing completely due to cracks or debris in the gasket, or a stuck float switch causing the machine to overfill.

Drying Problems

Many users experience issues with dishes not drying properly. This can be caused by the dishwasher door not sealing correctly, using the wrong cycle settings, or the drying cycle not being enabled. Low water temperature can also impact drying performance.

Operational Issues

Dishwashers that won't start or complete cycles properly are frustrating problems. These can be caused by control panel issues, door latch failures, power supply problems, or sleep mode settings. Dishwashers running too long is another common complaint, often related to low water temperature or cycle selection.

Noise Problems

Unusual or excessive noise during operation can indicate issues with internal components. This might be caused by bent wash arms, worn seals, or bearing rings that need replacement. These noises typically worsen over time if not addressed.

Odor Issues

Bad smells from dishwashers are usually caused by food particles trapped in filters or drains, or by standing water that hasn't properly drained. Regular cleaning of filters and running maintenance cycles can help prevent this issue.
