3 Signs Your Dishwasher Needs a Repair

Dishwashers have gone from a modern day convenience to a necessity in every home. They allow us to reduce the clean up time after we put a fresh meal on the table for our families.

It is important to perform proper maintenance on your dishwasher to reduce the chance of a malfunction. Maintenance allows us to ensure that our dishwashers stay functioning. We have put together a list of 3 signs that your dishwasher needs to see an experienced repair specialist.

1. Insufficient Source of Hot Water

Your dishwasher needs a supply of hot water to ensure it can properly clean and sanitize your dishes. A sign that your dishwasher is not receiving sufficient hot water is if your dishes are coming out of the washer mildly warm or even cool. This means that either your hot water supply is not connected properly or that your dishwashers element is not properly heating up the water.

   2. Broken Latch

If you are noticing that your dishwasher door is not properly closing and latching, this is another sign your dishwasher is in need of a repair. This error is something many owners will push off if their dishwasher is still running and cleaning properly. This may mean that the seal is not properly sealing and may result in poor cleaning. If the seal gives out more due to not being maintained, it could lead to a larger issue and flood your kitchen. 

   3. Pooling Water

Many owners think that it is a common issue to see water pooling in the bottom of their dishwasher. This is not normal or common. This is the biggest indicator that your device is in need of a repair. This can lead to bigger issues such as not draining water at all and can lead to mold build up and rust forming. 

It is important to know and understand the major indicators of a dishwasher that is need of maintenance. Ensure you are on top of the issue before it leads to larger issues such as a flooded kitchen. Call in our experienced professionals to repair your dishwasher today!
