When a dishwasher stops working, the first decision is often whether to repair or replace it. If the repair and replacement parts aren't going to be costly, the better choice is to get more life out of your appliance. The first step in understanding whether your appliance can be fixed is to contact a dishwasher repair service in your area to evaluate the situation.

Minor repairs can include things like a cracked hose, blown fuse, or worn gasket. More serious issues might involve the pump or door seal. A professional repair company should be able to explain the problem and the cost of repairing compared to the cost of replacement.

Dishwashers are one of the best inventions for your home. Sometimes, though, you may find your dishwasher leaking or the dishwasher may not operate properly due to problems with the water supply or drain line connections. Specifically, the following problems can occur:

If the water supply line is clogged or kinked, the dishwasher may not receive the correct amount of water to clean your dishes. Sometimes the dishwasher’s drain lines can become clogged with food or other debris.

If the house is already equipped with a dishwasher, the process of installing a new one in its place is usually efficient and can be completed in an hour or less. New water supply hoses should be used to ensure against a hose failure that could cause a leak or flood. Direct electrical connections vs. a plug-in connection could complicate the installation and may require the help of an electrician.

No, you should call an appliance repair technician to fix a broken dishwasher unless the problem is associated with the plumbing itself.

Dishwasher clogs are usually kitchen sink drain clogs that prevent the dishwasher from draining quickly and effectively. However, some dishwasher clogs are caused by dirty dishwasher filters in the bottom of the dishwasher. These typically twist out and can be rinsed out in the sink.

It is always best to consult the cleaning guidelines from your dishwasher's manufacturer. Some dishwashers have an interior made of plastic while others are made of stainless steel. Please note that bleach tablets work great on plastic interiors, but chlorine bleach may damage a stainless steel interior. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines on the use of natural cleaning products like vinegar. In general terms, you should clean the dishwasher's twist-out filter (usually located on the bottom of the dishwasher) with a simple rinse to remove food particles. Remove the silverware baskets and clean them thoroughly in the sink too.

The evening before Thanksgiving with 47 guest expected at 1 pm I ran the dishwasher one more time. A flood appeared in the basement. I did not know who else ... to call or who could come on Thanksgiving. I called Roto-Rooter remembering commercials of 24 hrs on call. You offered to come that night, I opted for as close to 8 am in the morning. By 8:15am I received a call you were on the way. Your service man identified the problem right away, went to work and in 1 hr we had freely flowing drains. Your service man was knowledgeable, kind, courteous and efficient. I will always call you in the future.

Our kitchen sink was clogged and we couldn't use our dishwasher Christmas Day. We called two plumbers the next day with no answer, so I got online and scheduled an ... appointment with Roto-Rooter. The gentleman who came had to work hard to clear the drain in the garage, and we appreciate that he knew exactly what to do to get our drain running again.

Your tech was AMAZING!! Very friendly and helped us get our dishwasher installation done! Highly recommended company!!
