Common Dishwasher Problems that Require Repair

You already have a suspicion that your dishwasher needs service, but it never hurts to have some certainty—not only that the issue should be repaired, but that we can perform those repairs. Here are the most common issues we get called out for:

Water: 

  • Standing water at the bottom of the dishwasher after a cycle
  • Puddles on the floor around the dishwasher
  • No sound of water being pumped in
  • Rust appearing inside tub, around the door or on exterior

Heating:

  • Dishes not hot after cycle
  • Dishes unusually wet after cycle

Mechanical/Electrical:

  • Dishwasher is not starting
  • Cycles are ending before they’re finished
  • Odd sounds are coming from the dishwasher, or more noise than usual
  • Door doesn’t latch fully
  • Racks broken

And, of course, if your dishes are consistently coming out still soiled or scummy, it’s a sure sign that your dishwasher needs either repair or maintenance, both of which we can easily handle for you.

Hometown Hero Appliance Repair has the tools and expertise to evaluate, diagnose and fix any issue with your dishwasher, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us for advice. We’ll give you a quote for repairs, and let you know whether it makes more sense to repair or replace.

Factory Authorizations for Repairs Under Warranty

To have the manufacturer of your dishwasher cover any repairs made while the appliance is under warranty, many require that you use a service company that they have authorized. These authorizations tell you two things: (1) we are experts on servicing that brand, and (2) the manufacturer knows this and trusts us with their dishwashers. We are proudly authorized to provide:

We are also trained experts at repairing dishwashers by Jenn Air, KitchenAid, Maytag, Whirlpool, Amana, Danby, Fisher and Paykel, Roper and Viking. Really, our technicians have such a deep understanding of the technology, there is no brand or model of dishwasher they can’t diagnose and fix.

Mike
Job Details: 04/28/2026
The customer's dishwasher wasn't drying dishes or heating water. We tested the heating element and found it had tripped its thermal cutoff due to incorrect water level readings from a faulty pressure sensor. We replaced the pressure sensor and reset the thermal cutoff to restore normal operation. Job complete. Technician tested the heating element in diagnostics mode and confirmed no heat output. Pressure sensor readings were irregular, causing the unit to underfill and trigger the thermal cutoff (TCO). Replaced the pressure sensor (WD21X25468) and reset the TCO to restore proper water level and heating function.

Even though it took three trips to fix the dishwasher, (had to order parts two different times), I was told up front what they felt was wrong with it. Rory showed me the damaged wire harness, which was the root cause of other things being damaged, including the circuit board necessitating a third trip. Hometown Hero techs took steps to help reduce the floor from being scratched when the dishwasher was pulled out. The repair was completed under manufacturer's warranty, for which Hometown Hero is qualified to repair. Will consider using Hometown Hero for other repairs on appliances not under warranty.
