Why won't my dishwasher drain?

A clogged drain hose, a failed drain pump, or food debris blocking the filter are the most common causes. We clear the blockage and test the drainage on-site.

Why are my dishes still dirty after a cycle?

Possible causes include a worn wash impeller, clogged spray arms, a faulty water inlet valve, or using incorrect detergent. We identify and resolve the root cause.

Dishwasher Problems Explained — What Is Actually Wrong

Failed Drain Pump or Clogged Filter

Standing water at the bottom of your dishwasher after a cycle is the most common complaint we hear. The drain pump may have failed, or — more often — food debris has clogged the filter basket or drain hose. We clear the blockage, test the pump, and get water flowing again in under an hour.

Faulty Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve controls how much water enters the dishwasher. When it fails, the machine may not fill at all, or it may overfill and leak onto your floor. A failed valve can also cause the dishwasher to run with insufficient water, leaving dishes dirty. We test water pressure and valve function on-site.

Worn Wash Impeller or Spray Arms

The wash impeller forces water through the spray arms to clean your dishes. When the impeller wears down or spray arm nozzles get clogged with mineral deposits (very common with South Florida hard water), cleaning performance drops dramatically. We clean or replace these components to restore full wash power.

Door Latch or Switch Failure

Dishwashers will not start if the door latch does not engage properly — this is a safety feature. A worn latch, broken strike plate, or faulty door switch can prevent the machine from starting even when the door appears closed. Quick, inexpensive repair that gets your dishwasher running immediately.
