Not Draining
Standing water after a cycle usually means a clogged filter or sump, a blocked drain hose or disposal port, or a drain pump that cannot move water — we test the path before quoting a pump.

What it usually means when your dishwasher is not cleaning dishes
Dirty dishes or plastic that stays wet often mean weak spray pressure, a failing circulation pump, low wash temperature, or a stuck diverter — not just detergent choice.
What a technician checks on site
- Inspect and clean upper and lower spray arms
- Check circulation (wash) pump flow and sump debris
- Verify inlet valve fill level and float switch
- Test heating element, thermistor, and diverter motor where equipped

Leaking Water
Leaks are traced by location: door front (gasket or latch), under the sink (inlet or drain hose), or toe-kick area (pump seal, sump, or base pan on leak-protected models).
Learn more →Won’t Start
No lights or no cycle start usually trace to tripped power, a door latch that does not prove closed, or control/touch panel power — not a failed wash pump.
Learn more →Making Loud Noise
Grinding during wash often means debris in the sump; buzzing during drain points to a struggling drain pump — we match the sound to fill, wash, or drain phase.
