Common Dishwasher Problems
Dishwasher issues can come from clogged filters, drain problems, worn pumps, faulty valves, door latch failures, control board problems, or heating issues. Common problems include:
- Dishwasher not draining
- Dishwasher not filling with water
- Dishes still dirty after a cycle

- Dishwasher making grinding or humming noises

Things to Check Before Booking Dishwasher Service
Before scheduling a repair, try these safe troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure the dishwasher door is fully latched.
- Check that the appliance is receiving power.
- Clean the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Remove food debris from the drain area.
- Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.
- Confirm the garbage disposal knockout plug is removed if the disposal was replaced.
- Check that the drain hose is not kinked.
- Use the correct dishwasher detergent, not regular dish soap.
- Make sure dishes are not blocking the spray arms.
- Reset the dishwasher by turning power off for a few minutes.
If these steps do not solve the problem, a technician may be needed to inspect the pump, motor, inlet valve, drain system, heating element, float switch, or control board.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Dishwasher?
A dishwasher repair may be worthwhile when the unit is in good condition, the issue is limited to one failed part, or the repair cost is reasonable compared with replacement. Replacement may make more sense if the dishwasher has repeated failures, major internal leaks, a damaged tub, or expensive control and motor problems.
Mid Cape Appliance Service can diagnose the issue and explain your options clearly before any repair work begins.
