Homeowners Dishwasher Troubleshooting Guide
Here is your monthly maintenance and troubleshooting checklist that you can safely do at home to prevent breakdowns. For serious issues that needs repairs, we DO NOT recommend trying to DIY it, instead get one of our trained technicians to help you out.
Cleaning your Dishwashers Hard Water
Our water hardness averages at 10.8 grains per gallon (gpg). A gpg of 7 is considered hard water, and a gpg of 10.5 is considered very hard water. If you don’t fight it, that calcium will eventually clog your water inlet valve along with other parts.
What to do
Once a month, grab a coffee mug, fill it with plain white vinegar, and set it upright on the top rack of your empty dishwasher. Run a hot cycle.
Preventing Your Dishwasher From Smelling
If you keep your dishwasher sealed tight between runs, the residual moisture combined with our humid air creates a breeding ground for bacteria.
What to do
Leave the door cracked open just an inch after unloading. This allows it to properly dry and let out all that trapped moisture
Checking The Breaker After A Storm
If your dishwasher panel is blank or beeping strangely after one of our heavy storms, don’t panic yet. Usually it’s not the unit itself but your breaker that’s the issue.
What to do
Find your home’s electrical panel. Flip the dishwasher breaker all the way OFF, wait 60 seconds, and flip it back ON.

Why is my dishwasher not cleaning dishes?
If your dishwasher isn’t cleaning dishes properly, the issue could be with the spray arms, clogged filters, or a malfunctioning pump. It’s also possible that the water temperature isn’t hot enough, or detergent isn’t being dispensed correctly. Regular maintenance, like cleaning the spray arms and checking the water temperature, can help fix this issue.
What do I do when my dishwasher won't drain?
Start by checking the basics, make sure the drain filter at the bottom isn’t clogged with food or debris. You can also inspect the drain hose to see if it’s kinked or blocked. If everything looks fine and it’s still not draining, it might be a faulty drain pump or a stuck check valve, which is something a professional should take a look at.
How often does a dishwasher need to be cleaned?
Ideally, you should give your dishwasher a quick clean once a month. Wipe down the door seals, clean the filter, and run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or some vinegar to help break down grease and mineral buildup. A little monthly maintenance goes a long way toward preventing problems.
Does a dishwasher need its own breaker?
Yes, in most homes, dishwashers are required to be on their own dedicated circuit with a breaker. This helps prevent overloads and makes sure you can safely use it. If you’re not sure how yours is wired, it’s a good idea to have an electrician or technician take a look, especially if you’re experiencing electrical issues.
Does a dishwasher use less water?
Definitely. Modern dishwashers are designed to use far less water than hand washing. While scrubbing dishes in the sink can use over 20 gallons, many energy-efficient dishwashers use as little as 3-5 gallons per cycle. So not only are they convenient, they’re also the greener choice.
What to do when my dishwasher stinks?
A foul odor in your dishwasher is often caused by food debris or grease buildup in the filter or drain. To resolve this, try cleaning the filter and running a cycle with a dishwasher cleaner. Additionally, wiping down the door seals and leaving the door ajar between uses can help prevent bad smells from lingering.
Do you offer warranty on repairs?
Yes, we provide a warranty on both parts and labor for your peace of mind.
