A Guide to Understanding Your Appliance Better
When your busy life doesn’t allow for a dishwasher breakdown, you need fast help.
Our expert technicians at ART can quickly get your dishwasher repaired and up and running.

Our team arrives fully equipped to start the repairs immediately. We know the importance of keeping your appliances running smoothly, which is why we offer same-day service, so you’re never left with a sink full of dishes.
Dishwashers are complex appliances with many potential issues. When you call ART, our technicians perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the problem and provide an accurate estimate.
Some of the most common issues that can affect dishwasher operation include:
If your dishwasher isn’t cleaning your dishes properly, it might be due to a drainage problem, causing food to sit on your dishes and in the bottom of the machine. It could also be an issue with the cleaning liquid or tablets not releasing correctly. Our professional technicians can quickly identify the cause of your dirty dishes and perform the necessary repairs to get your machine working efficiently again.
Poor cleaning performance can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you expect your dishes to come out sparkling clean. Various factors can contribute to this issue. For instance, the spray arms might be clogged with food particles or mineral deposits, preventing them from rotating and spraying water effectively. Additionally, the dishwasher’s filter could be blocked, which restricts water flow and reduces cleaning efficiency.
Another common culprit is the detergent dispenser. If it’s not opening properly, your dishes won’t get the right amount of detergent needed for a thorough clean. Our technicians at ART will check all these components and more, ensuring every part of your dishwasher is functioning as it should.
Moreover, the water temperature plays a crucial role in the cleaning process. If your dishwasher isn’t heating the water to the correct temperature, it won’t be able to dissolve the detergent properly or kill bacteria on your dishes. Our experts will examine the heating element and thermostat to ensure they are working correctly.
Over time, dishwasher hoses can crack or other components may fail, leading to leaks. Our skilled technicians at ART can locate the source of the leak and perform necessary repairs to protect your floors from water damage in the future.
Leaks can occur for several reasons, such as a faulty door seal, worn-out gaskets, or loose connections in the plumbing lines. A leaking dishwasher can cause significant damage to your kitchen floor and cabinets if not addressed promptly. Our technicians will meticulously inspect all seals and connections to identify the exact source of the leak.
In some cases, the problem might be with the dishwasher’s tub itself. Cracks or splits in the tub can lead to water seeping out during the wash cycle. Our team is equipped to handle such issues, ensuring your dishwasher is leak-free and functioning perfectly.
Additionally, improper loading of dishes can sometimes cause leaks. If large items block the spray arms or prevent the door from sealing correctly, water can escape during the wash cycle. We’ll provide tips and guidance on the correct way to load your dishwasher to prevent future leaks.
Dishwashers often endure clogs from food and debris. Our technicians can identify and clear any blockages, ensuring your dishwasher drains properly again.
A dishwasher that doesn’t drain can leave standing water at the bottom, leading to unpleasant odors and potential damage to the appliance. Common causes of drainage issues include clogged filters, blocked drain hoses, and malfunctioning drain pumps.
Our technicians will begin by inspecting the filter and removing any debris that might be causing the blockage. We’ll then check the drain hose for kinks or obstructions. In some cases, food particles or other objects can get lodged in the drain pump, preventing it from functioning correctly. Our experts are trained to safely disassemble and clean these components, restoring proper drainage.
Regular maintenance can help prevent drainage issues. We recommend periodically cleaning the filter and running a dishwasher cleaner through a cycle to remove built-up grease and grime.
Poor drainage or rotting food can lead to unpleasant odors in your dishwasher. We can identify the source of the smell and make necessary repairs to ensure your dishwasher always smells fresh and clean after each cycle.
A smelly dishwasher is not only unpleasant but can also be a sign of underlying problems. Food particles and grease can accumulate in the filter, spray arms, and other parts of the dishwasher, leading to bad odors. Additionally, mold and mildew can grow in the moist environment, contributing to the smell.
Our technicians will thoroughly clean and sanitize your dishwasher, removing any trapped food particles and grease. We’ll also check for mold and mildew and treat affected areas to eliminate odors. In some cases, the smell might be due to a malfunctioning drain hose or garbage disposal connection, which we’ll address accordingly.
To keep your dishwasher smelling fresh, we recommend running a cleaning cycle with vinegar or a commercial dishwasher cleaner once a month. This helps break down grease and remove any lingering odors.
If your dishwasher hose is blocked or cracked, it can prevent your dishwasher from filling properly. Our skilled technicians will diagnose any water source issues and ensure your dishwasher functions optimally.
A dishwasher that doesn’t fill with water won’t be able to clean your dishes effectively. This issue can be caused by a variety of factors, including a faulty water inlet valve, blocked float switch, or problems with the water supply line.
Our technicians will begin by checking the water supply to ensure it’s turned on and there are no kinks or blockages in the supply line. We’ll then inspect the water inlet valve, which controls the flow of water into the dishwasher. If the valve is defective, it may need to be replaced.
The float switch, which monitors the water level in the dishwasher, can also cause filling issues if it’s stuck or malfunctioning. Our experts will clean and test the float switch to ensure it’s working correctly.
Food particles and debris can accumulate in the dishwasher hose over time, obstructing the flow of water into the appliance. Blockages in the dishwasher hose can prevent water from entering the appliance or cause water to back up and not drain properly. Our technicians will carefully remove and inspect the hose for any obstructions, ensuring a clear path for water flow.
Over time, wear and tear or physical damage can lead to cracks in the dishwasher hose, causing leaks and preventing proper filling. Cracks in the dishwasher hose can lead to water leaks and prevent the appliance from filling correctly. Our technicians will inspect the hose for any signs of damage and replace it if necessary, ensuring your dishwasher operates without any leaks.
Our technicians will thoroughly inspect the water source connections and valves to identify any issues affecting the dishwasher's ability to fill. Problems with the water source can prevent your dishwasher from filling correctly. Our experts will check the water supply valve and connections to ensure there are no issues with the water source. We’ll also inspect the water pressure to ensure it’s sufficient for the dishwasher to operate properly.
Once the problem is identified, our skilled team will quickly and effectively repair any hose blockages, cracks, or water source issues to ensure your dishwasher operates smoothly. At ART, we pride ourselves on providing efficient and effective repairs. Our technicians are trained to handle a wide range of issues, ensuring your dishwasher is back to working order in no time. We use high-quality replacement parts and follow industry best practices to ensure long-lasting repairs.
In addition to the common problems mentioned above, dishwashers can also experience other issues such as:
The door of your dishwasher needs to seal properly to prevent leaks and ensure the appliance runs efficiently. If the door latch is broken or the seal is worn out, it can cause leaks and affect the dishwasher’s performance.
Our technicians will inspect the door latch and seal, replacing any faulty components to ensure a tight seal. This not only prevents leaks but also helps maintain the correct water pressure and temperature inside the dishwasher.
Strange noises coming from your dishwasher can be a sign of various issues, such as a faulty pump, motor, or spray arm. Rattling, grinding, or humming sounds should not be ignored, as they can indicate serious problems.
Our experts will diagnose the source of the noise and perform the necessary repairs to ensure your dishwasher operates quietly and efficiently. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues and extend the lifespan of your appliance.
