The water from your kitchen dishwasher is supposed to drain right into your kitchen sink. If you have a garbage disposal in that same sink, then the drained water should flow into that particular appliance. Check to see if the disposal runs properly, before you try any of the other methods for attacking a malfunction in the dishwasher’s drainage equipment.

How to proceed if the disposal seems to be performing as expected

Take a good look at the dishwasher’s bottom. Check for the presence of any food that has fallen onto that surface. If you find some, make sure that the same piece of food has not blocked the flow of water. Check the dishwasher’s filter. If you do not know where it is located, consult the manual that came with the dishwashing machine. Remove any food and other debris in that same filter. Turn your attention to the hose that connects the dishwasher to the sink and garbage disposal. Make sure that it does not have any kinks or tears. Next you must make sure that a frozen valve has not caused a disruption to the dishwasher’s drainage mechanism. In order to do that, you have to check the drain valve. If you do not know where it is located, then look in the manual. Once you have found the drain valve, press the valve’s button. If you get no response, you will know that the valve is frozen. A frozen valve will keep the appliance’s drainage mechanism from working properly. If the drain valve appears to be working, then you have one last strategy to try, as you seek on your own for the answer to the problem. Clean the drainage basket at the bottom or side of the appliance. If it has not been cleaned, it could be preventing the necessary flow of water to the region outside of the dishwasher’s walls.

How to seek professional help

Make a list of all the strategies that you have tried so far. Mention your efforts, when you call to request the appearance of an appliance repair expert in San Diego County, someone experienced at fixing a dishwasher’s drainage mechanism. Meanwhile, get rid of any standing water that remains on the floor of the dish washing machine. Use a plastic bowl to scoop out most of it. Use paper towels and cloth towels to soak up the rest. In that way, you will have made it easier for the repair technician to locate the problem. Naturally, you should also remove any items that have been sitting on the dishwasher’s racks. No technician wants to work in an area where glass or china is present. No one can work effectively, while worried about possibly breaking such fragile objects. Contact us:
