What are some common dishwasher problems and fixes?
Here are some of the most common dishwasher problems you might encounter — along with potential causes and fixes.
Leaking
- Often caused by worn-out seals, damaged hoses, or a faulty door gasket
- Try: Check the door seal for wear or food debris. Replacing a door gasket is often a simple DIY fix
Dishwasher not starting
- Usually due to power supply issues, a broken door latch, or a faulty control board
- Try: Check that it’s plugged in, the breaker hasn't tripped, and the door is closing fully
Not cleaning properly
- A sign of clogged spray arms, a dirty filter, or poor detergent
- Try: Remove and clean the spray arms and filter
Water not draining
- May be due to a faulty drain pump or a blockage in the waste disposal or drain hose
- Try: Clear food debris from the filter and check for kinks in the hose
Water isn’t filling
- This could be caused by a faulty inlet valve, low water pressure, or a blocked water supply hose
- Try: Make sure the water supply valve is open and the hose isn’t kinked or blocked
Making strange noises
- Usually caused by a loose part, faulty pump, or worn-out bearings
- Try: Remove any foreign objects and ensure racks are positioned correctly, but call a pro if noise persists
Issues with hot water
- Often linked to a damaged heating element or thermostat issue
- Try: Check your hot water supply and thermostat settings. For electrical faults, contact a qualified technician
