Dishwasher isn’t turning on
When your dishwasher isn’t turning on, you might want to begin troubleshooting for issues. Most problems can be solved by carefully inspecting the plug socket for any issues, such as a loose plug or a broken the fuse. If the dishwasher still doesn’t work, consider testing the outlet by connecting another device to it. This will help determine if the outlet itself is causing the issue.
If the plug socket nor the plug is the culprit, the problem might lie with one of the dishwasher‘s internal components. There might be an issue with the control board, which regulates the dishwasher’s functions, or the power supply could be faulty. In these cases, it’s advisable to consult one of our qualified technicians who can diagnose and repair the problem efficiently.
Dishwasher is making loud noises
Dishwashers, despite their efficiency, are not completely silent. They will inevitably produce some noise when they start running. However, excessive noise can be a sign of a problem. A loud hum might suggest a motor issue, while grinding or rattling sounds could point to a problem with the pump, spray arms, or door latch. High-pitched sounds, on the other hand, often indicate a bearing problem.
If you notice any of these unusual sounds, it’s important to address them promptly to avoid further damage or inconvenience. If the problem persists, you can count on our engineers to consult for a thorough diagnosis and repair the issue.
A leaky dishwasher
A leaking dishwasher can be a frustrating household problem. To diagnose the issue, begin by inspecting the dishwasher both inside and out for any visible damage. Look for cracks, holes, or worn seals around the door, pipes, and seals. If there’s no obvious damage, listen for the sound of dripping water or a running water pump. Dripping sounds might indicate a faulty water inlet valve or drain pump.
If you find a puddle of water near the dishwasher, this could signify a blocked drain hose or a malfunctioning drain pump. Check for any kinks, bends, or obstructions that might be preventing water from flowing freely. If the drain hose appears clear, the problem may lie with the drain pump itself. Also, listen for any unusual noises coming from the pump, such as grinding or humming. If you hear these sounds, it’s likely that the pump is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.
Foul odours
A foul-smelling dishwasher can be a sign of underlying issues often caused by food debris or mold. Check the strainer screen and filtration system for any food particles. A damaged seal or exterior can allow moisture in, leading to a musty odour. To address the smell, thoroughly clean the dishwasher interior using a commercial cleaner . Wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth, paying attention to the corners, crevices, and the underside of the top rack.
Dirty Dishes
If your dishwasher isn’t cleaning your dishes effectively, there are a few things you can check. First, make sure it’s completing its entire cycle. If it stops prematurely, there might be a mechanical problem, such as a faulty timer or motor. Also, check the spray arms and filters for any food particles that might be blocking water flow. Food particles can accumulate in these areas and prevent the water from reaching all parts of the dishwasher.
Overloading the dishwasher can prevent water from reaching all of the dishes, leading to poor cleaning performance. By systematically checking these factors, you can often identify and resolve the underlying problem, restoring your dishwasher’s cleaning capabilities.
