If your dishwasher does not drain properly, or your dishes are not coming out squeaky clean, it may be time to call a licensed plumber or electrician to troubleshoot the problem and recommend solutions. Stuart Services can assist you same-day, in most cases, for dishwasher repair and installation, and it is always safer to consult a licensed professional when dealing with home wiring or water and drain problems.
Call our licensed electricians, if you discover:
- Your dishwasher does not reflect any power or lights. This could be due to simply tripped circuit breakers or a blown fuse, or a more serious problem such as a malfunctioning door switch or control panel, which will then need to be replaced.
Call our master plumbers, if you discover:
- Your dishes are not getting cleaned. This could be caused by kinked or clogged pipes, or a hot water heater that can't support your household's water demands. Our plumbers can size the required water heater and recommend a tankless unit based on the number of appliances that supply water in your house or apartment.
- Your dishwasher does not drain properly. This could be caused by a kinked drain hose, or a clogged garbage disposal, which will need to be repaired.
Tips and Advice to Keep your Dishwasher Running Like New
- Load dishwashers properly, per the owner’s manual, and only use dishwasher detergent in the recommended amounts — other soaps and detergents can cause excessive suds that can lead to water leaks and spills. In addition, be sure to store dishwasher detergent in a dry, cool place. We recommend that you don't store extra detergent packages for long periods of time, as it can absorb moisture from the air and lose its cleaning properties.
- For safety reasons, a dishwasher should always be plugged into a grounded outlet without the use of an extension cord. Ungrounded circuits will not protect the user in the event of an electrical short. This could lead to a severe electrical shock or even
death.
- If hot water has been shut off in the house for two weeks or more, run all hot water faucets for several minutes before using the dishwasher or any other electrical appliance connected to hot water. This will help remove any sediment that has settled in the lines, which will prevent clogging of the solenoid valves within the appliance.
