Companies who offer dishwasher repairs in Southampton often come across issues that are not only simple to fix but issues that could have been avoided with a little maintenance. Some of the most common dishwasher problems are caused by user negligence, such as lime scale build-up, clogging of the filter or leaking pipes. The most common causes of leaks can relate to how the dishwasher is used. For instance, overloading can cause the seal on the door to weaken. Also, the detergent compartment can cause soapy residue if it is overfilled too often.
Stack your dishes properly and keep them in the allotted compartments or slots appropriate for their size. There are some pans, pots or cookie sheets that are too large for the dishwasher and should not be put in there. Their oversized frame can prevent water flowing to the rest of the dishes and prevent the spinners from moving. This is one of the main causes of people assuming that their dishwasher is broken when it fact it will work perfectly fine if it is loaded correctly.
Other Common Problems and their Causes
If your machine is not filling properly, check the valve under the sink to make sure it is fully open. If it is open and there is still no water, you may have a plumbing problem that will need an expert to rectify it.
If the machine is not draining properly, you might see a small puddle of water left in the bottom of the machine. This is not uncommon, but if you are left with most of the water that should have drained, you have an issue. First, check your drain hose to make sure it isn’t broken or blocked. Then, check the drain itself for blockages. If both of those check out fine, the chances are you might need a new dishwasher pump.
The detergent dispenser needs to open upon cue when the cycle allows for it, and if it is not working your dishes will not get washed properly. Many people used powered soap, which can build up and clog the dispenser door. Before each use, always make sure the door is not stuck shut so that the soap will be dispensed when needed.
