Common Dishwasher Repair Problems We Fix

Our technicians diagnose and repair every dishwasher repair issue we encounter in Edmonton homes. Here are the most common problems we see and what causes them:

Dishwasher Not Draining

Standing water after a cycle is the most common dishwasher complaint. The filter is the first place to check — remove it from the bottom of the tub and rinse it under the tap. If that doesn't resolve it, the drain pump, drain hose, or check valve needs inspection. See our detailed guide to dishwasher drainage problems.

Dishes Coming Out Dirty

Usually caused by blocked spray arm holes (clean with a toothpick), a clogged filter, low water temperature, or incorrect loading blocking the spray arms from rotating freely. If cleaning the filter and spray arms doesn't help, the wash pump may be losing pressure.

Dishwasher Leaking

Leaks from the door are usually a worn door gasket or a damaged door latch that allows the door to flex. Leaks from underneath the unit can be the pump seal, the drain hose connection, or the water inlet valve. A dishwasher that leaked briefly due to overfilling may have a stuck float switch.

Dishwasher Won't Start

Check that the door is fully latched — the dishwasher won't start if the door switch doesn't register the door as closed. A blown thermal fuse, failed control board, or tripped circuit breaker are other common causes.

Dishwasher Not Filling With Water

Usually a closed water supply valve, a failed water inlet valve, or a float switch stuck in the up position (falsely indicating the tub is full). Bosch dishwashers will show E14 or E15 when water detection is at fault.

Dishwasher Making Noise

Grinding during the wash cycle indicates debris in the pump or a failing wash pump motor. Rattling usually means dishes or silverware are blocking the spray arms. A humming sound without water moving indicates the pump is running but blocked.

Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes

Bosch and Miele dishwashers use condensation drying — no heating element. They require rinse aid to work properly. Other brands use a heating element that can fail, leaving dishes wet. Fan-assisted drying models can have a failed drying fan.

Error Codes

Bosch E15 = water in base pan; E24/E25 = drainage issue. Samsung 9E = water level sensor. LG AE = water overflow. Whirlpool F8E1 = no water detected. We diagnose all error codes across all brands.

Signs You Need Dishwasher Repair Repair

Don't ignore these warning signs — catching a problem early almost always means a cheaper, simpler repair:

• Standing water in the bottom after a cycle
• Dishes still have food residue after washing
• White film or spots on glasses and dishes
• Water on the kitchen floor under or around the dishwasher
• Dishwasher won't start or stops mid-cycle
• Grinding, humming, or rattling during operation
• Error codes on the display panel
• Bad smell coming from the dishwasher

Repair vs Replace: Should You Fix Your Dishwasher Repair?

The right answer depends on the age of the appliance and the cost of the repair. Here's how to think about it:

Pros of Repairing Your Dishwasher Repair

• Almost always cheaper than buying new — most repairs cost $120–$380 vs $600–$1,500 for a new appliance
• No installation hassle, no disposal of the old unit
• Familiar appliance that you know how to use
• Environmental benefit — extending appliance life reduces manufacturing demand
• Parts availability is excellent for most brands sold in Canada

When Replacement Makes More Sense

• The appliance is over 12–15 years old AND requires a major repair (compressor, control board, motor)
• Repair cost exceeds 60% of the current replacement value
• Multiple components are failing — the appliance is reaching end of life
• The model has been discontinued and parts are no longer available

We give you an honest assessment before any work begins. If we think replacement makes more sense, we'll tell you — we don't profit from recommending unnecessary repairs.
