Dishwasher Repair Service

Handwashing dishes not only takes up a lot of time and energy but also exposes you to chemicals in dish soap. On the other hand, a dishwasher uses high temperatures and stronger detergent to clean dishes effectively and faster. Using a dishwasher is also more hygienic; hot water kills germs and other microorganisms.

A broken dishwasher is an inconvenience once you get used to cleaning dishes with minimal effort. Like any other kitchen appliance, you will require dishwasher repair and maintenance one day.

Big City offers scheduled dishwasher repair and maintenance services in San Diego and surrounding areas. Our dishwasher repair services are reliable and pocket-friendly.

1.   Dishwasher Won't Start  

The main dishwasher repair issue is if your dishwasher doesn't start. Then you require to inspect the power source and connection to establish that it is getting power. Check the circuit breaker and the power plug. You can also plug your dishwasher into a different outlet with power.

 If the door does not close properly, your dishwasher will not start. Check if the door latch is stuck and clean food debris on the door gaskets. If this does not help, your dishwasher may have a faulty motor or burnt electrical parts. Call your dishwasher repair technician to repair the motor or replace damaged parts.

2.   Dishwasher Leaks

Another common dishwasher repair issue is leakage. Leakages are dangerous due to the potential for secondary accidents such as slips and the danger of electric shocks. Faulty dishwasher doors, worn-out gaskets, and the use of excess soap can all cause leaks. Clean the door gaskets or have them replaced and ensure that they lock correctly.

 A faulty float switch can also cause dishwasher leakages. The float switch regulates the amount of water in the dishwasher. A defective switch puts too much water into the dishwasher, causing leakage. Clean any food particles accumulated on the switch to resolve the leakage, or call dishwasher service in your area.

3.   Dishes Come out Dirty

Next, the dishwasher repair issue is overloading and incorrect dish stacking that causes dirty dishes to come out of a wash cycle. Arrange your dirty dishes so the water from the spray arm can reach the bottom of cooking pots. Additionally, scrape off excess food debris from your dishes before loading.

Dirty spray arms and clogged filters can also cause your utensils to come out dirty. Blocked drainage also means that your dishes are rinsed with dirty water. Check and refill your rinse aid compartment if your dishes have water spots. You need to contact dishwasher appliance repair experts if you can't solve the issue.

4.   Dishwasher Makes Loud Noises

If your dishwasher makes loud and unusual noises, you may have faulty components or obstructed moving parts. Bend spray arms and over stacked dishes will produce noises as the dishwasher runs. Worn-out seals and bearing rings also cause rattling noises and need replacement. Call a dishwasher repair technician to inspect the pump and replace any worn-out or broken parts.

5.   Dishwasher Smells Bad

Avoid leaving your dishes in the dishwasher for extended periods. Trapped food debris at the filters and screens will produce a foul smell after some time. Clean the filters and screens regularly and pre-rinse dishes before loading to reduce food particles in the dishwasher.

Melted plastic may also cause a chemical smell. Plastic dishes may fall, coming into contact with the heating element. Stack plastic dishes correctly to avoid such occurrences or contact Big City dishwasher repair experts to solve the problem.
