Cloudy dishes, standing water, or a door that won't latch. We check the filter and spray arms first, since buildup there causes more of these calls than a failed part.
If your dishwasher is doing any of this, it's usually one of a handful of common causes, not a sign it's time to replace it.
Water left standing at the end of a cycle
Usually a clogged drain pump or a kinked drain hose, the most common reasons water doesn't fully clear at the end of a wash.
Dishes coming out cloudy or gritty
A clogged spray arm or a filter that hasn't been cleaned in a while is behind most complaints about film or grit left on dishes.
Dishwasher won't start at all
Often a door latch that isn't fully engaging, since most models won't run a cycle unless the control board reads the door as securely closed.
Loud grinding sound during the wash
Almost always something small caught in the chopper blade near the pump, rather than a sign the motor itself has failed.
Dishwasher leaking from the door during the wash
Usually a door gasket that's compressed and hardened with age, losing its ability to seal properly.
Dishes not drying by the end of the cycle
Often a heating element or vent fan issue, sometimes as simple as a rinse aid dispenser that isn't releasing.
A recent repair
Dishwasher not draining, Burquitlam
A dishwasher was leaving several centimetres of water in the bottom after every cycle. The drain pump had a small piece of broken glass caught in it, blocking the impeller. Cleared the pump and ran two full cycles to confirm it was draining completely, with a 90-day warranty applied to the repair.
Genuine parts and technicians who know each platform, not just the basics.
Real dishwasher repairs, from quick fixes to the ones nobody else could figure out.
Dishwasher was leaving water pooled in the bottom after every cycle. Drain pump was blocked, cleared and tested twice to confirm.
Dishes kept coming out with a chalky film. Spray arm was clogged with mineral buildup, cleared and now everything comes out spotless.
Dishwasher wouldn't start no matter what. Door latch wasn't engaging fully, five minute adjustment fixed it.
Good repair on the grinding noise. Four stars only because it took a day to get the part.
Door was leaking a small amount of water every wash. Gasket had hardened, replaced and ran a dry test cycle.
We're in City Centre and he showed up within the same-day window as promised.
Dishes weren't drying at all, coming out soaking wet. Vent fan had failed, replaced and confirmed dry dishes after.
Old dishwasher, assumed it needed replacing. He fixed the pump instead and it runs quieter than before.
Booked late on a weeknight, got a callback early the next morning and it was fixed by lunch.
Grinding noise every wash cycle for weeks. Small piece of glass was caught in the pump, cleared right up.
Solid fix, fair price. Only reason it's four stars is the first appointment got moved a day.
Near Eagle Ridge and he knew the model well, had it diagnosed within minutes of arriving.
