Common Dishwasher Problems
As a complex appliance with many different working parts, your home’s dishwasher can run into several problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following issues with your dishwasher, be sure to call Mr. Appliance of Greater St. Louis to schedule professional dishwasher repair:
- Dishes Aren’t Clean– Do you feel like your dishes aren’t as clean as they once were when you take them out of the dishwasher?If your dishwasher is running but not cleaning your dishes properly, you could bedealing with blocked spray armholes, a burned-out heating element, or a worn pump assembly or wash impeller.
- Glassware Is Cloudy– You could be dealing with extremely hard water at home if you notice cloudy dishes. If you have hard water and no water softener, it's important to rinse your dishes well before loading them into your dishwasher to avoid cloudy-looking glassware.
- Wash Cycles Run Too Long– Is your dishwasher running longer than it should? It might be having trouble finishing the cycle because the thermostat is defective or the timer is malfunctioning.
- Dishwasher Hums & Turns Off– A dishwasher that produces a humming noise could mean the motor is defective. Our technicians can help you with repair or replacement if necessary.
- Water Doesn’t Pump Out– If your dishwasher isn’t draining water properly, you might have a worn-out drain solenoid, a clogged drain line, or an issue with the dishwasher’s drain impeller.
- Dishwasher Doesn’t Fill with Water– If your dishwasher is running but not filling with water, it could be due to a failed valve, defective water inlet solenoid, malfunctioning timer, or stuck or defective overflow float switch.
- Dishwasher Leaks– If your dishwasher leaks, it could be as simple as using the right type and amount of detergent. Check to ensure the soap you’re using won’t damage your appliance. Other problems that can cause leaking include worn door gaskets, a leaking pump or motor assembly, or issues with your spray arm assemblies or tub-to-motor gaskets.

- Clean your filters regularly and replace them if they’re damaged.
