What's Actually Wrong With It?
Dishwasher problems I see in West Island — and how I fix them
Select your dishwasher issue below, and I'll tell you what I usually see when I open these up in West Island.
Dishwasher standing water — what usually causes it?
A piece of hard debris got past the filter and jammed the drain pump blades. I extract the water, pull the pump off the sump, remove the jam, and test it with 120V to ensure it still pumps.
Failed Component: Drain Pump
Dishwasher dishes dirty — what usually causes it?
The plastic wash impeller sheared off the motor shaft, resulting in zero water pressure. I clean the spray arms first. If pressure is still dead, I have to install a new main circulation pump.
Failed Component: Wash Motor
Dishwasher leaking floor — what usually causes it?
A degraded bottom door sweep, or a split spray arm shooting water directly at the door. I check the wash arm for cracks. If it's fine, I press a new watertight OEM rubber gasket around the tub.
Failed Component: Door Seal / Arm
Dishwasher blinking lights — what usually causes it?
A blown thermal fuse in the top console severed power to the logic board. I trace the line voltage to the door. I replace the blown bi-metal fuse and the wire harness to restore power.
Failed Component: Control Board
Dishwasher dishes wet — what usually causes it?
The 120V heating coil at the bottom of the tub blistered and burned out. I measure resistance across the two element nuts under the tub. If it's open, I swap in a new heating element.
Failed Component: Heating Element
Dishwasher grinding noise — what usually causes it?
A piece of bone or glass is caught in the macerator blade inside the pump. I dismantle the sump assembly from the inside, extract the glass, and check the chopper screen for damage.
Failed Component: Chopper Blade
Dishwasher won't fill — what usually causes it?
The brass water valve is calcified, or the safety float switch is stuck in the "up" position. I make sure the float drops. Then I ohm-test the valve. If it's dead, I swap the housing to get water flowing.
Failed Component: Inlet Valve
Dishwasher soap dispenser — what usually causes it?
The tiny actuator that pops the soap door open during the cycle burned out. I test if the board is sending 120V to the door. If it is, but the door stays shut, I replace the whole dispenser module.
Failed Component: Wax Motor
Dishwasher door won't latch — what usually causes it?
The microswitch in the latch broke, so the machine thinks the door is open. I realign the tub in the cabinets and replace the plastic latch block at the top of the door.
Failed Component: Interlock Switch
Dishwasher swampy odor — what usually causes it?
Sink water is backflowing into the dishwasher because the drain hose isn't looped high enough. I fix the plumbing loop under the sink, extract the old food from the filter, and run a high-heat sanitization.
Failed Component: Drain Hose / Sump

Should I Fix It Or Toss It?
My honest advice on the lifespan of your Dishwasher. Expand below.
Dishwashers
✓ Fix It: Drain blockages, bad water inlet valves, or broken door latches. Very common and worth fixing.
✕ Replace It: If the plastic or stainless steel inner tub has physically cracked and is leaking water straight through the chassis. You can't patch that.
