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:
- Examine the filter system for proper installation.
- Verify the water inlet valve isn't stuck open.
- Verify the drain hose isn't kinked or blocked.
- Check the wiring diagram for your specific model.
- Test the door lock mechanism for proper function.
- Inspect the power cord for damage or frayed wires.
- Examine the control knob for mechanical damage.
- Check for recalled components on your model.
💧 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:
- Test the drain pump relay on the control board.
- Verify the drain pump impeller spins freely.
- Verify the drain hose isn't frozen in winter climates.
- Verify the drain solenoid is working properly.
🍽️ Problem: Dishes Come Out Dirty
Still finding food residue or cloudy glasses? This usually points to restricted water flow or malfunctioning spray arms. Steps to fix:

- Inspect the water inlet screen for clogs.
- Verify the dishwasher is level front-to-back.
- Clean the turbidity sensor (on some models).
💦 Problem: Leaks During or After Washing

- Check the float cup for cracks or obstructions.
- Inspect the circulation pump seals.
- Verify the door isn't warped or bent.
🔊 Problem: Loud or Strange Noises
Grinding, humming, or banging sounds may mean internal parts are worn or blocked. Often, it's a motor issue or something stuck in the spray arm.
- Inspect the motor windings for damage.
- Check for missing or damaged sound insulation.
- Verify the motor brushes aren't worn (on some models).
- Look for loose utensils or parts hitting the spray arm.
