Dishes Not Getting Clean

If your dishwasher is running but your dishes come out dirty, cloudy, or spotted, common causes include:

Dirty or clogged filters
Blocked or damaged spray arms
Hard water mineral buildup
Water temperature issues
Worn door gaskets preventing a proper seal

A prompt diagnosis can often resolve the issue quickly and restore full cleaning performance.

Dishwasher Leaking

Water pooling around the base of your dishwasher is often a sign of:

A failing door gasket or seal
Cracked or loose hoses
Pump or valve issues
Improper loading causing spray arm interference

Addressing leaks quickly can help protect your flooring and surrounding cabinetry from water damage.

Dishwasher Won't Drain

Standing water at the bottom of the tub after a cycle usually points to:

A clogged drain hose or air gap
A failed drain pump
A blocked garbage disposal knockout plug (on newly installed units)
Debris caught in the filter

Dishwasher Won't Start or Run a Full Cycle

If your dishwasher won't power on or stops mid-cycle, this can be caused by:

A faulty door latch or switch
Control board issues
Electrical supply problems
Failed timer or selector switch

Repair or Replace?

Many dishwashers are built to last well over a decade with proper care. In many cases, repairing a dishwasher that is otherwise in good condition provides excellent value compared to replacement. At Appliance Doctors, we evaluate the age of the unit, the nature of the repair, and expected reliability moving forward before making a recommendation — so you can make an informed decision.
