A dishwasher is designed to scrub and rinse dishes so that you don't have to do the job by hand. If it fails to work correctly, however, you’re left with dirty dishes and a broken machine. Fortunately, a professional appliance repair service can diagnose the problem and suggest a course of action to get the dishwasher working as it should.

When to Call an Appliance Repair Service 

1. Dishes Are Still Dirty

You run the dishes through the washer, but they still come out grimy. If the dishwasher isn't overloaded and you remove food scraps before loading the dishes, chances are, there is a problem with the unit’s spray arm or float switch. An appliance repair service technician will repair or replace a spray arm and restore your dishwasher’s functionality. 

2. Dishwasher Doesn’t Drain Water

Sometimes, a dishwasher fails to drain water after each cycle. This problem could be caused by food particles trapped on the surface of the filter, in which case, you’ll need to clear it. If the filter is already clear, call a technician to examine the drain pump for broken parts or a malfunctioning sensor.

3. Water Leaks Out of the Appliance 

A puddle at the bottom of the dishwasher could mean that you’re overloading the unit. However, if water pools under the washer after every use, it likely has a leak, which is often due to a loose drain hose or a faulty door. The service provider can tighten the hose and repair the seal or gaskets to keep the panel watertight.
