Dishwasher Repair

You press the start button, but nothing happens—no lights, no sound, no response. This is one of the most common issues homeowners face. Before calling for help, check that the door latch is fully engaged and the power supply is functioning. If the dishwasher still won’t start, Appliance Force is here to diagnose the issue.
Common causes include:

• A frozen or unresponsive control panel

• Accidental activation of the “Child Lock” feature

• A stuck or faulty start button

• A clogged water inlet valve or kinked hose

• A blown fuse or defective door switch

If your dishwasher completes a cycle but leaves standing water at the bottom, the drainage system may be blocked. Food particles, grease, and soap residue often build up over time, restricting water flow. At Appliance Force, we provide thorough drainage inspections and repairs.
Possible reasons include:

• A clogged filter filled with food debris

• A blocked or bent drain hose

• A clogged garbage disposal connection

• A worn or burnt-out drain pump motor

• Small debris obstructing the pump

• A faulty check valve or solenoid

A leaking dishwasher is not only inconvenient—it can also cause water damage to your floors and cabinets. Dishwashers are built to keep water sealed inside, so leaks are a clear sign you need professional help. Appliance Force can identify and fix the source quickly.
Common leak causes include:

• A cracked or worn door gasket

• Misaligned or damaged door latch or hinges

• A blocked drain hose causing water backup

• A water inlet valve stuck open

• Cracked or loose internal hoses and connections

Proper heating is essential for sanitizing dishes and ensuring they come out spotless. If your dishwasher runs a cycle but leaves dishes greasy, cold, or still dirty, the heating system may be failing.
This problem is often caused by:

• A damaged heating element

• A malfunctioning thermostat

• Electrical issues preventing the thermistor from communicating with the control board

• Faulty wiring or worn-out relays within the control board

At Appliance Force, we ensure every heating component is tested and restored properly.

A normal dishwasher should operate with a soft hum—not bang, rattle, screech, or grind. If unusual noises continue after rearranging dishes or checking for loose items, it’s time to call the professionals at Appliance Force.
Possible noise-causing issues include:

• A failing pump motor

• Misaligned or loose spray arms

• A struggling water inlet valve

• Worn bearings, loose fan blades, or motor mount issues

If your dishwasher isn’t cleaning properly, even after adjusting your loading habits, there may be underlying problems affecting cleaning performance.
Common causes include:

• Clogged spray arms restricting water flow

• Incorrect detergent amount—too much or too little

• A blocked filter causing dirty water to recirculate

• Low water temperature or a failing heating element

Our team at Appliance Force ensures your dishwasher cleans effectively once again.

A dishwasher that never shuts off wastes water, energy, and time. If your dishwasher continues running long after it should, there may be an issue with one of its main control components.
Likely culprits include:

• A malfunctioning thermostat that can’t detect water temperature

• A faulty timer or electronic control board

• A water inlet valve letting in too much water

• A drain pump struggling to remove water

• A broken float switch continuously signaling for more water

Appliance Force provides fast diagnostics and reliable repairs to get your appliance back on track.
