What's Wrong With Your Dishwasher?

Like other major appliances in your home, you must take good care of your dishwasher to keep it in good condition. If something happens to your dishwasher, it can malfunction over time. A malfunctioning dishwasher can cause numerous problems for you.

Several things can affect your dishwasher over time, including a faulty drain pump. A drain pump removes water from your dishwasher after each wash and rinse cycle. If the drain pump clogs up or fails, water will pool along the bottom of the appliance. The water will eventually become stagnant and smelly. 

The pump can also make loud buzzing or grinding noises during use. The pump can make buzzing sounds when it clogs up with particles of food and other debris. The pump can make grinding sounds when the small bearings inside it break or begin to fail. Bearings help the motor inside the pump rotate or spin properly as it removes water from your dishwasher. If the bearings break, rust, or wear down, the motor will move around inside the pump as it spins. 

If you think the drain pump inside your dishwasher is bad, ask an appliance repair technician to check and repair it for you. 

How Do You Repair Your Dishwasher?

A technician will need to turn on and test out your dishwasher before they can repair it. A dishwasher can also make noises or fill up with water if something goes wrong with its drainage hose. Large pieces of food, mold, and mildew can build up inside the hose and block it. The hose can also become cracked or kinked over time. A technician can either clear out the hose or replace it. 

If the drain pump is behind your dishwasher's problems, a technician will most likely replace it. The pump or its bearings may be too worn out to salvage. If you replace the pump now, you may save your dishwasher additional problems later.
