Your dishwasher saves you a lot of time in the kitchen. You don’t have to stand there cleaning up all the dirty dishes after being in the kitchen cooking the meal. You have more important things to do so you need to do them and quite wasting time on something that can be done a quicker way. The dishwasher is an appliance that every kitchen needs. Life is too short to have to stand around doing these repetitive tasks. With a dishwasher in your kitchen, you simply scrap your dishes, rinse them if necessary, and load them into the dishwasher. Put a little bit of detergent in the proper area and close the lid. When you return, the dishwasher is done, the dishes have not only been washed but also sterilized by the hot temperatures inside during the cycle. Now you are ready to unload it and put away. That’s it! It’s important to note that the dishwasher, like any other appliance can malfunction from time to time and eventually will require a replacement. With proper maintenance of your dishwasher, it will last you longer before it will need to be replaced. When it comes to your dishwasher running down, there could be a number of things that can go wrong.

The Age of Your Dishwasher

How old your dishwasher is can be a determining factor to any issues you may be experiencing. If your unit is more than ten years old, you may want to replace it. Older models tend to be insufficient so when you upgrade to a newer model, you not only save money over time but you also decrease the amount of water and power that is used to wash a load. Over a period of several uses, the newer model will pay for itself.

It’s starting to Rust

Anytime you are dealing with water, you may end up with some rust. If you notice rust coming onto the appliance parts, but it still runs great, then consider just replacing the part that is rusting. If the rust is inside your dishwasher, you may need to purchase a new unit sooner rather than later. Or you can call in the appliance repair service in San Diego County to take a look. Rust is a good sign that water is leaking somewhere which is making your unit run less efficiently. This could also be dangerous as it could be showing some metal that is not protected causing even more of an issue and not be safe to run anymore.

Water Remains after a Wash

This is a common problem with dishwashers that are not running as they should. The water standing inside the dishwasher is a good sign that something could be wrong but may be fixed. This is normally a sign of a drain being clogged. Over time, food particles that are left on plates and bowls can fall off during the wash cycle and instead of flushing down the drain, it becomes lodged on the side. This doesn’t stop up your drain but other food particles getting caught in the same area will eventually build up and block the opening to the drain. Water can no longer go down the drain so it stays in the bottom of your dishwasher. Contact us:
