Common Dishwasher Problems We Repair
These are the dishwasher issues we see most often across Austin kitchens. If your unit matches one below, it's a strong clue to what's going on.
Won't Drain
Water left standing at the bottom is usually a blocked drain basket, a kinked hose, or a clogged garbage disposal the dishwasher drains into.
Dishes Still Dirty After a Cycle
A clogged or broken spray arm, a worn pump, or the wrong detergent creating excess suds can all leave dishes looking washed but not clean.
Won't Start
Often a door latch that isn't engaging fully, a tripped circuit, or a control board that needs attention.
Leaking From Under the Door
A worn door gasket is the most common cause, though a cracked tub or loose hose connection can also be to blame.
Loud Grinding or Humming Noise
Usually a small object, like a broken piece of glass or a bottle cap, stuck in the wash pump or drain impeller.
Cycle Never Finishes
A faulty heating element, a float switch stuck in position, or a timer malfunction can all cause a cycle to run endlessly.

This is almost always a drainage issue, caused by a blocked drain basket, a kinked drain hose, or a clogged garbage disposal (since many dishwashers drain through the disposal). Using regular dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent can also create excess suds that block proper draining.
Usually a clogged or broken spray arm not distributing water properly, a worn wash pump, or hard water mineral buildup blocking the spray holes. Loading dishes too close together can also block water flow.
Most dishwasher repairs average around $200, with a typical range of $100 to $300. A spray arm or pump repair runs on the lower end, while a motor or control board replacement runs higher.
We recommend stopping use until it's checked. A leak under your cabinets can cause hidden water damage to flooring and cabinetry long before it's visible, which costs far more to fix than the dishwasher repair itself.
Usually, yes, if the repair is under half the cost of a new unit. Spray arms, pumps, and door gaskets are reliable fixes at almost any age. A full motor failure on a much older unit is the one case where replacement often makes more sense.
Yes. Shut off the water supply valve under your sink and call our 24-hour emergency line. An active leak is one of the quickest problems to turn into expensive water damage if it's left overnight.
