Know the warning signs
Signs Your Dishwasher Needs Repair
Dishwashers are simpler machines than most people think, which means most problems trace back to just a handful of parts.
Standing Water in the Tub
Water left at the bottom after a cycle is almost always a clogged filter or a failed drain pump.
Dishes Coming Out Dirty
Cloudy glasses or food residue usually means a clogged spray arm, a worn wash pump, or hard water buildup.
Won't Start
A door that doesn't latch fully is a common culprit. If the latch feels solid, the door switch may have failed.
Water Leaking Onto the Floor
Leaks usually come from a worn door gasket, a cracked hose, or a loose connection at the pump.
Error Code on the Display
Modern dishwashers flag specific faults with a code. Knowing the code speeds up diagnosis significantly.
Dishes Not Drying
A failed heating element or a malfunctioning vent is the most common reason dishes stay wet after a cycle.

Common questions
Dishwasher Repair FAQs
Why is water pooling at the bottom of my dishwasher? +
This is almost always a clogged filter or a failed drain pump. Start by checking and cleaning the filter at the bottom of the tub; if that doesn't help, the drain pump likely needs replacing.
How much does dishwasher repair cost in Clairton? +

Why are my dishes coming out cloudy or dirty? +
A clogged spray arm, hard water mineral buildup, or a worn wash pump are the most common causes. Sometimes a deep clean cycle resolves it, but persistent issues usually need a technician.
Should I repair or replace an old dishwasher? +
If your dishwasher is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new unit, repairing is usually the better value.
