From dishwashers that won’t drain or clean to leaks, door latches and error codes, these are some of the most common dishwasher problems we diagnose in Vaughan homes.
Check the filter under the lower spray arm first, because food collects there and stops the water.
If it’s clean, look for a kinked drain hose, a blocked sink drain, or a new garbage disposal with its knockout plug still in place. If all of those are clear, the drain pump or its impeller is the next suspect. You may hear it hum without moving any water. Step-by-step checks: Dishwasher Not Draining: Causes and Simple Checks.
A worn door gasket, a loose or cracked hose, a leaking pump seal, or an overfill from a faulty inlet valve or float switch.
Regular dish soap in the machine also causes suds that leak out the door.
Blocked spray arms or filter, low water fill, water that isn’t heating, or a weak wash motor.
Overloaded racks that block the spray arms are a common cause too.
A door latch that isn’t catching, a door switch, the control board or keypad, or a fault the dishwasher has detected, such as water in the base.
Check that the control lock is off.
A failed heating element, a sensor fault, an empty rinse aid dispenser, or a drying fan on some models.
Plastics always dry less than glass.
From your first call to a dishwasher that washes and drains properly again, here’s what to expect.
Not draining, leaking, not cleaning, or not starting. The model number is usually on the edge of the door.

If the job needs plumbing, a new water supply valve or drain connection, wiring work, or cabinet or countertop changes, we’ll tell you before any work starts.
Drain pumps, latches, gaskets, valves and spray arms are usually worth repairing. A wash motor or control board on an older dishwasher is the main case where replacing is worth a look. If you replace it, we can install the new one.
An older dishwasher with rust, a cracked tub or repeated failures may not justify a major repair.
Pump, valve, latch, gasket, spray arm and element faults are often practical to repair when the dishwasher is otherwise in good condition. Circulation pumps and control boards cost more.
Parts for some older or discontinued models are limited or slow to source.
We compare the repair price with the cost of a comparable new dishwasher and tell you plainly if replacing makes more sense.
If replacing makes more sense, we can install your new dishwasher. Call 1-888-642-0352 to book.
