One of the great conveniences of modern life, the dishwasher makes meal cleanup a breeze and eliminates countless hours of work over the course of its life. However, when it breaks down, it does little more than take up space. To help you understand when service is needed, Complete Appliance Service, serving northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, OH, explains some of the most important signs you need dishwasher repair.

When Do You Need Dishwasher Repair?

1. Leaks

Dishwasher repairYour dishwasher is designed to be watertight, so, if you notice it leaking, there is something wrong with it. Usually, such a problem is caused by a faulty door gasket, the rubber seal around the edge of the dishwasher door. It might have torn, come loose, or started to decompose due to age.

2. Clogs

Once the dishwasher cycle has completed, the water should drain completely from inside the appliance. However, if there is still an inch or more of water in the bottom of the dishwasher after the cycle has finished, you likely have a clog. Check the drain to see if food debris has collected around it and is preventing water from draining properly. If a clog is not visible, it could be located further down the tube, so call a professional for dishwasher repair.

3. Dirty Dishes

Another sign you need technical help is if your dishes are still dirty when they come out of the wash cycle. Before calling for help, check if some stray silverware or a pot handle is preventing the spray arm from spinning. If not, there could be something seriously wrong with the machine, such as a thermal fuse or motor failure.
