Dishwashers, Disposals and Water Heaters

Dishwasher Repair

Repair for dishwashers that will not start, clean, drain or dry, or that leak, smell, rattle or show error codes.

The dishwasher is the appliance most of us stop thinking about until the day dishes come out dirty, wet or smelling like a swamp. In a Nashville kitchen that hosts dinners all week, a failing dishwasher quickly turns into a sink full of dishes. Modern dishwashers have more parts than they appear: a circulation pump, a drain pump, spray arms, a heating element, inlet valve, door latch, float and a control board. Most poor results trace to one or two of them.

We test the latch and door switch, inlet valve, circulation and drain pumps, spray arms, filters, heating element, thermostat, float switch and control, and we read any error code. We also check water temperature and the household supply, because poor cleaning can come from low hot water or hard water buildup. After the repair we run a full cycle and inspect the results, so you can be sure it cleans, drains and dries.

Will not start

A door latch, a switch, a control lock or a blown thermal fuse is the usual cause, and we test them in order.

Dishes not clean

Clogged spray arms and filters, low water temperature or a weak pump leave food behind.

Not drying

A failed heating element or a vent problem leaves dishes wet and cloudy.

Noise

Pumps, spray arms hitting racks and loose parts are common and typically simple to fix.

Questions

Why are my dishes not getting clean?

Clogged spray arms or filters, low water temperature or a weak circulation pump are common causes.

Why is my dishwasher not drying?

A failed heating element or a vent problem is typical, and rinse aid helps too.

Why does my dishwasher smell?

Food trapped in the filter and drain is the usual source. Clean the filter and run a cleaning cycle.

The door latch or switch, a control lock or a blown fuse often blocks the start.
