Dishwasher Repair Grand Rapids, MI

We can’t recommend regular maintenance enough. It’s the one thing that can prevent the need for pricey repairs and replacements by addressing small issues with your machine regularly. For best results, you should get your dishwasher services annually.

It’s common for Grand Rapids homeowners to want to fix their kitchen appliance issues themselves. While DIY repairs are possible in some cases, when it comes to large appliances, we're biased, but we believe it’s a job better left to the pros. That’s because we’ve seen time and time again where DIY repairs have failed homeowners, and it ends up being a waste of time and money. With so many different parts, a lot can go wrong with your dishwasher, and getting to the root of the issue can prevent the same (or larger) problems from emerging in the future.

We’ve all been there: The dishwasher that won’t wash, the rinse cycle that never kicks in, the cloudy glassware; there are many different signs your appliance will hint that it needs dishwasher repair. Grand Rapids residents should be on the lookout for these:

• Dirty dishes
• Cloudy glassware
• Overextended wash cycle
• Drainage issues
• Leaks
• Odd smells
• Unusual noises
• Error codes

We know that Grand Rapids residents buy many different brands of appliances. That’s why our appliance experts are well-versed in all the major appliance brands of dishwashers—and then some! Some common appliance brands we service include:

• Whirlpool
• KitchenAid
• GE
• Bosch
• LG
• Samsung
• Maytag
• Kenmore
• Miele
• And more!

Common replacement parts include pumps, motors (which account for about 30% of dishwasher repairs), float switches, detergent dispensers, heating elements, spray arms, latches, and water inlet valves. To prevent part failure due to clogs or debris buildup, keep the interior of your unit clean and have professionals perform annual maintenance and repair services.

Yes. Repairs are recommended if the cost is less than 50% of a new unit’s price, especially if the dishwasher is under 10 years old, as repairs are considerably cheaper than replacements. Though repair vs replacement decisions depend on appliance age and repair cost. Always ask our repair professionals for honest advice on the cost-effectiveness of repair vs replacement and which is the best option for your needs.

Dishwasher leaks, which constitute about 20% of dishwasher service calls locally, are often caused by worn door gaskets, clogged drains, broken seals, or faulty water inlet valves. To mitigate leaking issues, inspect and replace door seals periodically and clear any clogs promptly.

Yes, noise complaints constitute about 15% of repair calls we receive and can be caused by failing pumps, loose spray arms, or worn bearings and should be inspected immediately. Report noise issues with us early to prevent further mechanical damage and ensure your kitchen units are running smoothly.

To prevent dishwasher problems before they start, clean filters monthly, wipe door seals and edges regularly, clean spray arms to prevent clogs, and run the dishwasher weekly to keep seals moist. These regular maintenance techniques can reduce dishwasher breakdowns by up to 40%. In addition, you can use a dishwasher cleaner every few months to keep the interior fresh and working effectively.

Using too much detergent can cause excess suds, leaving residue and preventing proper cleaning or draining in your dishwashing unit. Over-sudsing is a common cause of dishwasher performance issues locally, so it's best to be sparing with detergent volumes. Always follow the manufacturer's detergent guidelines to avoid buildup and soap residue on dishes.

Clogged spray arms affect dishwasher cleaning by reducing water flow and pressure, thus causing poorly cleaned or spotty dishes. Spray arm clogs are responsible for 15–20% of dishwasher cleaning complaints, so you'll want to ensure you remove and clean spray arms every six months with a toothpick or small brush. Stop the problem before it gets started!
