Dishwasher repair Phoenix should be your call when the sink is full of dishes. The dishwasher has established itself as a “must have” feature in many busy homes. When your dishwasher does not work properly, you may have the ‘you don’t know what you have until it is gone’ moment. Dishwashers have an average lifespan of about 12 years, according to the 23rd annual portrait of the U.S. appliance industry.

Dishwashers are appliances which have continued to evolve and improve at a rapid pace. With the continued improvements comes more potential for problems.
Dishwashers have a greater variety of common problems than other appliances such as refrigerators. Fortunately, our service experts are highly trained and able to make dishwasher repair experience fast and uncomplicated.

1. Noisy Dishwasher- Nearly 30% of dishwasher repair calls are because of noise. A spray arm that is loose or not balanced is a common cause of a loud dishwasher. This often happens when there has been uneven wear over a period of time making one or more ruts in the spray arm center hub. Another common cause for excessive dishwasher noise is a faulty bearing ring or wash arm seal. These rings are plastic and are subject to wearing down over time. The costliest issue related to dishwasher noise is if one or both of the dishwasher pump components is defective. Also related to this would be a faulty electric pump motor. call Dishwasher repair Phoenix.

2. Leaking Dishwasher- About one-quarter of the dishwasher service calls we receive pertain to dishwasher leaks. Frequently, the hoses and hose clamps are the cause of a dishwasher leak. The clamps which hold the circulating hose to the dishwasher pump or hold the drain hose can loosen over time allowing leaks. Dishwasher hoses break down over time and can crack and can also cause leaks. Water inlet and outlet valves occasionally crack causing your dishwasher to leak. The dishwasher door gasket may be the site of a leak, especially if you find that water seems to be leaking out of the front of your dishwasher. These may become brittle and inflexible over time creating a poor seal. A faulty pump seal or cracked pump housing is often the cause of a dishwasher leak.

3. Dishwasher will not start- We receive dishwasher service calls 20% of the time from customers with a dishwasher which simply will not start. A defective drive motor or a drive motor that has seized completely may be the cause, but there are several other possible reasons for your dishwasher refusing to start. A defective door latch assembly will prevent your dishwasher from starting. In addition to holding the door closed while operating, your dishwasher also uses the door latch switches to supply power to the dishwasher controls. If the latch will not close completely, the latch switches cannot complete the circuit to supply power to the unit. A problematic timer or electronic control can be at the root of your problem. Dishwashers with a manual timer run on a series of electrical contacts driven by a small motor encased in the timer housing. Anyone of the contacts or the housing itself could be the cause of a dishwasher which will not start. Dishwashers with electronic controls run via the main circuit board. It carries out the same job as a mechanical timer using a microprocessor and electric relays. Various electronic difficulties could keep your dishwasher from starting.

4. Dishes not cleaned properly- Finding dirty dishes when unloading your dishwasher is aggravating. Around 10% of our customers seek our help with this problem. If your dishes are loaded correctly, the spray arms are unobstructed, and the dish detergent cup is not stuck or malfunctioning there are a few other possible reasons for finding dirty dishes in your dishwasher. A faulty water inlet valve can be the reason for your dirty dishes. If the valve does not allow enough water into the dishwasher, then the unit is not able to clean efficiently. Sometimes, one or more of the filters used to remove food particles clogs and debris that would normally wash away will redistribute on the just washed dishes. Along these same lines, if the food chopper is faulty particles of food will be too large to wash away. We also find that a dishwasher heating element is not functioning properly. The optimal water temperature for dishwashers is 140 degrees Fahrenheit. While the heating element does not heat the water in your dishwasher, it does maintain the water temperature. If the heating element fails, the water will not be hot enough to clean your dishes.

There are several easy things you can do to help your dishwasher work efficiently; be sure to scrape debris from dishes, do not overload the dishwasher, use a quality dish detergent and a rinse agent, and run hot water in your sink prior to operating the dishwasher to make sure your water is at the right temperature. There are also a variety of maintenance tasks we will do to extend the life and increase the efficiency of your dishwasher.
