Common dishwasher issues can vary depending on the specific make and model, but here are some of the most common problems our technicians have seen in dishwashers:
Poor cleaning performance: If your dishwasher is not effectively cleaning the dishes, it can be due to several factors, including clogged spray arms, a malfunctioning wash pump, or a worn-out or clogged filter.
Water not draining: If the dishwasher does not drain properly, it can lead to standing water at the bottom of the tub. This can be caused by a clogged drain hose, a faulty drain pump, or a blocked air gap.
Leaking water: Water leakage from the dishwasher can occur due to various reasons, such as a damaged door gasket, a worn-out door seal, loose or damaged hoses, or a faulty inlet valve.
Noisy operation: Unusual noises during the dishwasher’s operation, such as grinding, rattling, or squeaking sounds, can indicate issues with the motor, wash pump, spray arms, or other mechanical components.
Dishwasher not starting: If the dishwasher does not start when you press the start button, it could be due to a faulty door latch or switch, a problem with the control panel, or issues with the power supply.
Foul odours: Lingering unpleasant smells inside the dishwasher can be caused by food debris or residues trapped in the filter, spray arms, or other components. Mould or mildew growth can also contribute to odours.
Incomplete cycle or error codes: If the dishwasher stops mid-cycle or displays error codes, it could indicate problems with the control board, sensors, or other electronic components.
Detergent not dispensing: If the dishwasher does not dispense detergent properly, it may be due to a clogged detergent dispenser, a malfunctioning dispenser motor, or issues with the electronic controls.
Rust or corrosion: Over time, some dishwashers may develop rust or corrosion on the interior racks or other metal parts, which can affect the dishwasher’s performance and lead to damage.
In some cases, basic maintenance and cleaning, such as unclogging spray arms or cleaning filters, can resolve the problem.
You can also fix some of these issues by referring to the manufacturer’s manual.

Deciding whether it’s worth it to fix a dishwasher depends on several factors, one of the most important being the cost of repairs.
We usually recommend it’s worth fixing a dishwasher if the repair costs are 50% or less than the price of a new one.
If you don’t know what the repair costs are for your specific dishwasher, we can give you a free estimate over the phone.
Other factors to consider include:
The extent of the problem: Minor problems, such as a clogged spray arm or a worn-out gasket, can often be repaired at a reasonable cost. But if the problem is significant, such as a faulty motor or control board, the repair cost may be high.
Age of the dishwasher: If the appliance is relatively new and still within its expected lifespan, it may be more cost-effective to repair it.
Plus, our technicians bring the parts with them, so the repairs will be done quickly.
Yet, if the dishwasher is old and/or has a history of multiple issues, it may be a sign that it’s time to get a new dishwasher. We can help you install it.
Energy efficiency and features: Newer dishwasher models often come with improved energy-saving features, such as better water efficiency and advanced wash cycles, which can result in long-term savings. Additionally, newer dishwashers may offer features that enhance convenience and functionality.
Environmental impact: Repairing a dishwasher rather than replacing it can be more environmentally friendly. By extending the lifespan of your appliance, you help reduce waste and conserve resources.
The decision to repair or replace a dishwasher is subjective, as it depends on your specific circumstances, preferences, and budget.
If you’re unsure, it can be helpful to consult with a professional technician who can assess the condition of your dishwasher, provide an estimate for repairs, and offer advice based on their expertise.
When troubleshooting a dishwasher problem, it’s important to follow a systematic approach to identify the cause of the issue.
Here are some general steps you can take to troubleshoot common dishwasher problems:
Check the power supply: Ensure that the dishwasher is receiving power. Make sure it is properly plugged into a working outlet and that the circuit breaker or fuse is not tripped or blown.
Examine the water supply: Verify that the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on and the water inlet valve is not clogged or malfunctioning. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the water supply line.
Confirm the dishwasher door is closed properly: Ensure that the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched securely. Some dishwashers will not start if the door is not properly closed.
Clean the filters: Remove and clean the dishwasher filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Clogged filters can affect the dishwasher’s performance.
Check for obstructions: Inspect the spray arms, both upper and lower, for any blockages. Clear away any debris or food particles that may be preventing the arms from rotating and spraying water.
Verify detergent usage: Ensure you are using the correct type and amount of dishwasher detergent. Using the wrong detergent or excessive amounts can result in poor cleaning performance or excessive sudsing.
Run hot water before starting the cycle: If your dishwasher is not heating the water properly, it can impact cleaning efficiency. Run the kitchen faucet with hot water for a few minutes before starting the dishwasher to ensure hot water is being supplied.
Check the dishwasher’s drain: Make sure the dishwasher’s drain is not clogged. Clear any debris or food particles from the drain area, filter, or drain hose.
Consult the user manual: Refer to the dishwasher’s user manual for specific troubleshooting tips and error code explanations. The manual may provide guidance for addressing common problems specific to your model.
If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, or if you are uncomfortable performing further diagnostics or repairs, contact an NWAR professional dishwasher repair technician.
Repairing a dishwasher hose may involve different steps depending on the specific problem you are facing.

They have all the skills, knowledge, tools, and parts needed to fix the problem quickly. Call us before noon to send one of our technicians your way the same day.
Also, keep in mind that if you don’t know how to repair a dishwasher hose, you risk making the problem worse. Depending on the manufacturer, this can mean you aren’t eligible for their warranty anymore.
With that said, here’s a general guide on how to repair a dishwasher hose:
Identify the issue: Determine the exact problem with the dishwasher hose. Common issues include leaks, cracks, or blockages.
Turn off the power and water supply: Before working on the dishwasher hose, make sure to disconnect the power supply by unplugging the dishwasher or switching off the circuit breaker. Also, turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
Remove the dishwasher from its location: If necessary, pull the dishwasher out from its installed position to access the hose connections. Refer to the dishwasher’s user manual for instructions on how to safely remove it.
Inspect the hose: Carefully examine the dishwasher hose for any visible damage, such as leaks, cracks, or blockages. If there’s a leak or crack, you may need to replace the damaged section of the hose. If there’s a blockage, try clearing it by running water through the hose or using a pipe cleaner or a small brush.
Replace the hose: If you need to replace the hose, carefully disconnect it from the dishwasher and the water supply. Install the new hose by connecting it securely to the appropriate connections. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions or refer to the user manual for guidance on proper installation.
Reinstall the dishwasher: Once the hose repair or replacement is complete, carefully slide the dishwasher back into its original position. Make sure it is level and properly aligned with the surrounding cabinetry.
Restore power and water supply: Reconnect the power supply to the dishwasher by plugging it back in or turning on the circuit breaker. Turn on the water supply to the dishwasher and check for any leaks or issues.
