Dishwasher Repair, Done Right
Common Dishwasher Problems We Diagnose
A dishwasher that's just "not working right" can mean a dozen different things, and the fix is different every time. Nate's approach is to actually run the cycle, watch what the machine is doing, and find the real cause instead of guessing at parts. Calls we get most often around Indianapolis:
Won't Drain
Standing water at the bottom of the tub after a cycle, usually a clogged drain hose, failed drain pump, or a blocked air gap.
Not Cleaning Dishes
Spray arms clogged or not spinning, a worn wash pump, or water not heating enough to break down food and grease.
Leaking Onto the Floor
Door gasket failure, a cracked tub seam, or an overfilled unit from a bad float switch.
Won't Start or No Power
Door latch not engaging, a tripped control board, or a simple electrical connection issue.
What Nate Checks During the Visit
Drainage
We check the drain hose for kinks, inspect the drain pump and impeller for debris, and verify the air gap and garbage disposal knockout plug haven't blocked the line, a surprisingly common cause after a new disposal install.
Spray Arms & Wash Motor
Clogged spray arm nozzles are the number one reason dishes come out dirty. We also test the wash motor and circulation pump to confirm water pressure is reaching the arms correctly.
Heating & Drying
If dishes come out wet or a "heated dry" cycle isn't working, we check the heating element, thermostat, and control board for the actual fault instead of replacing parts on a guess.
Leaks & Seals
Door gaskets, tub seals, and float switches are inspected for wear or failure that would let water escape the tub during a cycle.

Dishwasher Brands Nate Works On
Samsung
Samsung's StormWash and Linear Wash models rely on a spinning jet arm that clogs easily with hard water buildup, a common cleaning-performance call.
LG
LG's QuadWash arms need to be checked in all four positions, a single jammed nozzle can leave a whole rack dirty.
GE
GE dishwashers commonly show drain pump failures after a few years of heavy use; parts are widely available and repairs are usually quick.
Whirlpool
Whirlpool's control board and door latch switch are frequent points of failure on "won't start" calls.
Maytag & Amana
Built tough for heavy daily use; when they do fail it's usually the heating element or a worn wash pump seal.
KitchenAid
KitchenAid's ProWash sensor models sometimes misread soil levels, causing incomplete cycles that look like a cleaning failure but aren't.
