A dishwasher is not a quiet appliance, but even then, an increasing noise level may indicate a problem, such as a spray arm hitting dishes, a part rattling, or even a pump malfunction.
Dishwasher makes strange noises
The problem we often hear about is that the dishwasher is not doing what it is supposed to do - it is not washing the dishes. Unfortunately, in most cases, the problem is not with the machine itself, but with the way it is used. Maybe you do not scrape the dishes properly or you overload it. But it can also be a malfunction of the dishwasher, for example, a defective float switch or spray arm.
Dishwasher not cleaning (Dishes are dirty after the cleaning cycle)
The first problem that can occur when you turn on the dishwasher is that it just won’t start. If nothing happens, a clogged pump, faulty wiring, or a faulty switch may be the cause. If you hear a strange humming noise, the problem may be more serious - the engine is stuck. These problems require professional repair and diagnosis.
Sometimes you find the puddle of water under the dishwasher. In some cases, it just means that you have overloaded the machine, but if the problem occurs regularly, it means that there are more serious problems, such as defective door seals or gaskets. It's also possible that the problem is related to the drain hose connection coming loose. Whatever the problem is, it requires replacing some parts, so it is better to seek professional help for dishwasher repair.
The dishwasher is leaking
On the contrary, sometimes the dishwasher is not filled with water, so the dishwasher cannot work. There are two main reasons for such a problem - a stuck float (a part responsible for turning off the water) or a malfunction of the switch that indicates that the door is closed. For these two small problems need professional service.
Dishwasher doesn’t fill with water
Another case occurs when water remains in the machine, but the dishwasher does not drain the water. Sometimes you take the dishes out of the machine to dry them. But this problem can also be solved if you seek professional help. The culprit may be a clogged drain or filter. More serious problems are a broken drain pump or a defective drain sensor that needs to be replaced.
