Maintenance Tips
Scrape the dishes
One of the most important steps to ensure maximum Dishwasher Longevity, is properly scraping the food of the dishes before putting them on the dishwasher. Although most of the dishwashers come with a food chopper, they’re designed to break small and soft food particles. Also, the food particles have to go through a fine filter first, so scraping excess food is also important to prevent filters from clogging. If a piece of bone, seeds, or any solid food particle make its way to the dishwasher, it’s very likely that it will clog the pump, damage the food chopper or the pump impeller.
Periodically clean the pump, filters and spray arms
Over time, food and hard water can build up and partially clog the water ways, causing poor cleaning. Use a brush to scrub the filters, and run water through the spray arms while using a pokey tool to remove all the particles that might be stuck in there. Accessing these parts is fairly easy, refer to the User Manual for more information.

Don't Overload
If the dishwasher is packed with dishes that can restrict the water flow causing poor cleaning. You also always want to make sure that silverware or dishes did not slip through the dishwasher rack, if something blocks the spray arm it will cause poor cleaning or even a leak.
Removing Buildup, Smells or Mold
Buildups will result with poor cleaning, also cause glasses to be sparkly or cloudy after wash. To remove buildups and smells you can use an acid like White Vinegar, Tang, Lemon juice or Lemon Powder. If the solution your using is liquid, like vinegar, pour a cup or two on a glass and place it in the top rack. You can also pour it in the bottom of the dishwasher (note: most dishwashers drain first when started, wait till its finished, when it starts filling pause it and pour the solution). If your using powder, you need to put it in the soap dispenser.
After that run the dishwasher through a quick cycle, it is also advised to pause the dishwasher mid-cycle for 20/30 mins so the solution your using can do its magic. Finally, running one last cycle with bleach will get rid of any mold or mildew and ensure that your dishes are sanitized and spotless. If your dishwasher is Stainless Steel, then do not use bleach, use a product like Tang instead. Also remember to not mix bleach with any acid. You should also spray bleach or tang and wipe the corners (gasket area, bottom of dishwasher) or even the outside to remove or prevent smell and mold buildup.

FAQs
What Our Clients Often Asks:
Is it worth repairing my dishwasher, or should I buy a new one?
Determining whether to repair or replace your dishwasher depends on factors such as the appliance’s age, the damage’s extent, and the repair cost. If the repair cost is more than 50% of the cost of a new dishwasher, replacing the appliance may be more cost-effective. Additionally, consider replacing your dishwasher with a more unique, energy-efficient model if it is over ten years old.
How long does a dishwasher repair usually take?
The time it takes to repair a dishwasher depends on the complexity of the issue and the availability of replacement parts. A professional technician can diagnose and repair a dishwasher within a few hours. However, the repair could take longer if particular aspects need to be ordered.
Can I repair my dishwasher myself?
While some minor dishwasher repairs can be done by the homeowner, such as cleaning the filter or unclogging the spray arms, more complex repairs should be left to professionals. Attempting to repair your dishwasher without the proper knowledge and tools can lead to further damage and void your appliance’s warranty.

Do you offer a warranty on your dishwasher repair services?
Warranty policies vary among appliance repair companies. It’s essential to ask about the warranty offered by your chosen repair service. A reputable company typically provides a warranty on their labor and the parts they use, giving you peace of mind and protection for your investment.
Are your technicians certified and experienced in dishwasher repair?
When choosing an appliance repair service, it’s essential to ensure that their technicians are certified and experienced in repairing various dishwasher brands and models. That ensures they have the expertise and knowledge to diagnose and fix your dishwasher correctly and efficiently.
Can you provide a quote for dishwasher repair before the technician arrives?
