Fix Common Dishwasher Issues Yourself
🚫 Problem: Dishwasher Won’t Start
When your dishwasher refuses to power on, it could be something simple or more involved. Typical culprits include a disrupted power connection, damaged door latch, or a tripped breaker. Try the following:
- Reset the dishwasher by unplugging for 5 minutes.
- Inspect the control panel membrane for damage.
- Test the control lock feature if equipped.
- Examine the power supply module if equipped.
- Reset the dishwasher by unplugging for 5 minutes.
- Check for any error codes on the display panel.
- Examine the control knob for mechanical damage.
- Verify the rinse aid dispenser isn't causing electrical shorts.
💧 Problem: Water Not Draining After a Cycle
If you're left with standing water, you might be dealing with a clogged drain system or a failed pump. Here's how to clear it up:
- Clean the filter screen at the bottom of the tub.
- Check for proper voltage at the drain pump terminals.
- Inspect the drain line for soap scum buildup.
- Inspect the drain system for small broken glass pieces.

- Clean the detergent dispenser opening.
- Verify the door isn't opening during the cycle.

- Check the sump area for cracks or gaps.
- Verify all inlet and drain hose connections are secure.
- Inspect the vent system (on steam models).

- Inspect the control board relays for clicking.
- Examine the float switch mechanism.
- Tighten any loose mounting bolts or brackets.
