A dishwasher is part plumbing, part electrical. A technician comes to your home and checks the filters, pumps, seals and drain path first, then explains what failed and gives you the price before any repair.
Dishwasher problems, in plain words
Safety first
Cut the power before your hand goes into the sump: unplug the dishwasher or flip its circuit breaker off. Wear gloves too, since some models have a small chopper blade down there.
Why is there a pool of water in my dishwasher?
What's usually behind it
A clogged filter, a blockage at the air gap or the disposal inlet, or a dead drain pump.
Try this first
With the power off, twist out the filter and rinse it. Run the garbage disposal for a few seconds. If there's a small cap next to the faucet, lift it off and clear what's inside.
Why do dishes come out dirty?
What's usually behind it
A dirty filter, blocked spray-arm holes, a weak circulation pump, or water that isn't hot enough.
Try this first
Rinse the filter, poke out the spray-arm holes with a toothpick, and run the kitchen tap until it's hot before you start the dishwasher.
Why is my dishwasher leaking at the door?
What's usually behind it
A worn door seal, regular dish soap making too much foam, or a cracked spray arm.
Try this first
Use dishwasher detergent only. Wipe the door seal and look for tears or flat spots.
Why won't it start, or why are the lights blinking?
What's usually behind it
A faulty latch switch, the control lock, or the control board.
Try this first
Look for a lock symbol; pressing and holding one key for a few seconds usually clears it. Close the door firmly until you hear it click.
Why do clean dishes come out wet?
What's usually behind it
The rinse aid has run out, or the heating element or fan has failed. It may also be a condensation-dry model working as intended.
Try this first
Top up the rinse aid. Plastic items stay damp on most newer models, and that alone isn't a fault.
