MasterGuide: The Benefits of Regular Dishwasher Repair and Maintenance

2 min read

You clean and maintain your countertops, fridge, and oven, so why neglect your dishwasher? After all, it works just as hard, if not harder, to keep the kitchen clean.

Your dishwasher deserves TLC (tender loving care), and regular maintenance can avoid or solve many common dishwasher issues.

If unexpected problems occur, MasterCare offers affordable appliance repair plans, including a dishwasher repair plan, to keep your appliances in tip-top shape without the surprise costs.

Common Dishwasher Problems #

Dishwashers are supposed to make life easier, but when they break down, they can cause a lot of frustration. Here are some of the most common issues you may face with your dishwasher:

Dishwasher Won’t Turn On: #

One of the most annoying problems is when your dishwasher refuses to start. A power supply issue, a faulty door latch, or an electrical malfunction could cause this.

Leaking Water: #

If you find water pooling around your dishwasher, it could be due to worn-out seals, broken hoses, or a clogged drainage system. Leaks can cause damage to your kitchen floors, so it’s essential to address them quickly.

Not Cleaning Dishes Properly: #

If you notice soap residue left on your dishes or they don’t come out fully clean, it may be due to a clogged spray arm, a dirty filter, or a malfunctioning pump.

Excessive Noise: #

Strange sounds like grinding, squealing, or banging are often signs of mechanical issues, such as a damaged motor or bearings that need replacement.

Error Codes or Flashing Lights: #

Modern dishwashers often display error codes to help pinpoint the problem. These codes can indicate anything from drainage issues to more serious electrical malfunctions.

When to Call a Professional #

While there are many issues you can tackle yourself, some problems require professional expertise. Here’s when it’s time to call a technician:

Persistent Leaks: #

If your dishwasher continues to leak after checking the hoses and seals, it could be a sign of a deeper issue, such as a faulty water pump or a damaged drum.

Unresolved Error Codes: #

Error codes that persist even after basic troubleshooting may indicate an internal malfunction that requires expert attention.

Strange Noises: #

Grinding, squealing, or other unusual sounds can indicate internal issues like worn bearings or a broken motor. These issues require professional repair.

Failure to Start or Operate Properly: #

If your dishwasher doesn’t start, spin, or complete its cycle, it could be an electrical issue or a malfunctioning motor that needs professional repair.

Brand-Specific Issues: #

MasterCare’s technicians are experts in dishwasher repairs of all brands. If your dishwasher has a brand-specific issue, our team will know exactly how to handle it.
