Although you are pre rinsing your dishes you may still be experiencing some residue being left on dishes. In fact this is a common complaint from homeowners. However the may be a few simple solutions to this problem your are having with your dishwasher. First check the rinse aid dispenser to see if it may need refilled. Usually there is a removable cap on the detergent dispenser. Now there are many different types of dispensers on various makes and models. So you may check your owners manual for instructions on how to fill your rinse aid reservoir. Another thing to check is the setting for how much rinse aid is being dispensed per cycle. Again every model is different so be sure to check dishwasher owners manual for instructions to adjust rinse aid setting. Obviously if you have tried this simple solution and still have residue on your dishes we may have other solutions to this problem. Check out our section below on dishwasher maintenance to learn more and help prevent needing dishwasher repair service.

Head About to Steam Cause the Dishwasher Won’t Clean

Eventually every dishwasher will start to lack in the cleaning department. But how do we prevent this and what are some easy solutions to this problem? Notably modern day dishwashers are made to be much more energy efficient. In fact they use much less water than in the past. As a result a problem with the water level will significantly decrease the performance of your dishwasher. Unfortunately if you are getting little to no water in your dishwasher you most likely need dishwasher repair service. Although you could get extremely lucky and fix this problem on your own. Obviously you will want to check that the water supply valve hasn’t been turned off for some reason. Now this is unlikely but hey might as well be sure it wasn’t shut off for some reason. Lastly most dishwashers have a water level float switch in case of overflow. Typically this float is in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Usually in the front on either the left or right side. Once you locate the float check to be sure nothing is stopping the float from moving up and down. For the most part you will need to call and schedule an appointment for dishwasher repair service.

A Dishwasher That Won’t Drain is Kind of a Pain

By all means if your dishwasher won’t drain its dirty water from the pump its probably not going to clean very well. That is to say if your dishwasher won’t drain you need to find a solution quickly. With this in mind there are some things you can try before calling for service. First thing to consider is the filter inside the dishwasher being clogged or blocked. As discussed previously every make and model is different. Therefore you may need to refer to the owners manual for location and removal of your dishwasher filter. Next be sure to run garbage disposal if the dishwasher drains into the disposal. Failing to run your disposal will result in dishwasher not draining during its cycle. Lastly there may simply be a clog in the drain hose. Under these circumstances you can try to remove the clog by running a cleaner through the dishwasher. In hope that the cleaner will flush the clogged hose for you without any disassembly. Be sure to check for tips on cleaning your dishwasher in our dishwasher maintenance section below. Following our recommendations will help prevent needing dishwasher repair service.

Dishes Won’t Dry and you Don’t Know Why

Equally important to your dishwasher cleaning the dishes well so is drying the dishes. Although there are some things to consider. As previously mentioned rinse aid will help with residue being left on dishes. Correspondingly rinse aid also improves dishwasher drying performance. Again refer to owners manual for instructions on how to fill and set rinse aid levels on your dishwasher. Another thing to consider is if you are selecting the proper cycle and cycle options. Keep in mind newer washer are made to be more energy efficient. In other words not all the cycles are preset for heated dry. For example most dishwashers have a 1 hour wash cycle. Unfortunately these cycles don’t activate the dishwasher heater since they are an energy efficient cycle. With that in mind be sure you select a cycle with heated fry option.

About to Freak Because the Dishwasher Has a Leak

First of all if your dishwasher is leaking STOP using it immediately. Frequently we receive calls that a dishwasher has flooded a homeowners kitchen. For fear that your dishwasher can cause significant damage to your home. For this reason you should NEVER run your dishwasher when you are asleep or away from your home. First there are several reasons a dishwasher may begin to leak. Obviously things like hose, seals and gaskets can leak. But one thing most homeowners do not consider is they maybe causing the problem unknowingly. For example if you make the mistake of putting dish soap in place of dishwashing detergent. Then you will definitely flood your house and quickly live in regret of that decision. Another thing to consider is loading the improperly or overloading your dishwasher. In particular if we load so many dishes that we impede the water flow or obstruct a spray nozzle from rotating. Then you will most likely get a leak from the of the dishwasher where the tub meets the door. In any event make sure spray nozzles can spin freely so water can cascade properly.

DISHWASHER MAINTENANCE

Dihswasher Installation in St.Louis, St.Charles, Warren & Lincoln Counties

First your dishwasher needs to have cleaner ran through it regularly. In fact there are several dishwasher cleaning products available at your local retailer. For example you can buy products like Dishwasher Magic, Finsh Dishwasher Cleaner, Affresh or Lemishine. Then there are homemade cleaning products like combining baking soda and vinegar to run through your dishwasher. Although the most effective product to run though your dishwasher isn't actually a cleaner at all. Surprisingly the orange flavored powdered drink mix Tang is the most effective product to run through your dishwasher. Certainly this sound crazy but it's true. In fact Tang contains citric acid which is the main ingredient in most dishwasher cleaners. Simply fill soap dispenser with Tang and run the dishwasher on a Normal wash cycle and that's it.
Secondly most dishwashers have some sort of filter that must be cleaned regularly. Unfortunately not all dishwasher filters are easily accessible. For instance most dishwasher built 10 plus years ago will require disassembly. In that case we recommend to have a qualified repair technician service these dishwashers. But in most cases newer units have a filter that is easily removable by the homeowner. In either case you can simply check the dishwasher owners manual for accessibility and removal of the filter.
Finally be sure to remove any inanimate items or obstructions from your dishwasher. For fear that these items may make it into the dishwasher pumps. For instance if you break a glass during the wash cycle. Immediately gain access to the dishwasher sump to be sure the broken glass doesn't damage the circulation or drain pumps. Eventually things that don't belong in the dishwasher will end up accumulating in either the filter or the sump. For example it is common for the silverware baskets to break over time. In that event the broken plastic pieces will end up making their way into the sump. In that case the dishwasher will need cleared of these pieces before they damage the dishwasher. Again if this happens you will most likely need to call a repair company to disassemble the unit to remove these obstructions.
