Dishwasher Repairs

The dishwasher is one of the most common appliances to have in the home. You use it every day to clean your dishes. When it breaks down, it can frustrate you as your dishes are now no longer cleaned promptly. The dishes that come out are stained and spotted. Sometimes, a water puddle will appear near to the faulty appliance. You may also be having a problem starting up your dishwasher. When you face these problems, the best solution is to call a local plumber that provides dishwasher repair service.

When the plumber comes, he will first perform the inspection on the dishwasher to see what is going wrong. He will observe the dishwasher while it is draining. Bubbling on the sink means that the drain and sink pipes could be clogged. Another reason why it is not draining is that the door latch is not closed properly. The plumber can help you to tighten the bolts of the latch to ensure it is aligned and closed properly.

Improper draining can also be caused by a dirty dishwasher basket. However, many homeowners don’t know what is the dishwasher basket and how to take it out. In this case, the plumber can help you to remove the basket and clean it before installing it back in its place. If your garbage disposal is clogged, it can also prevent your dishwasher from draining. The disposal is connected to the dishwasher drain hose. Food can build up in the disposal and reduce the amount of space for the water to flow efficiently. The plumber can clear up the disposer by running it with plenty of water.

The faulty dishwasher can also be caused by a drain valve that is stuck. If the drain valve is stuck open, the water cannot be diverted and drained off. It could also be caused by a faulty belt. If the belt is broken, the dishwasher cannot operate efficiently. The timer, pumps, and motor also play an important role in the dishwasher operation. The timer is responsible for starting the motor while the pump dispels the water from the machine. If these parts are damaged, you will need to call a plumber to replace them.

To identify whether the motor is faulty, the plumber can listen to the dishwasher machine while it is operating. The unusual sound like humming and clicking noise means that the pump and motor need to be replaced. You can send it back to the manufacturer if the machine is still covered by the warranty. Before hiring, be sure to get quotes from several plumbers on the cost of the dishwasher repair. Sometimes, you will save more money by replacing a new unit of the dishwasher instead of hiring a plumber to repair it.
