Dishwasher Problems
Explainers
Why Won’t My Dishwasher Door Close?
A dishwasher door may not close because the appliance is not level or square, an item is blocking the door or racks, debris is around the seal, the spring tension is wrong, or the latch is damaged.
Why Is My Dishwasher Leaking?
A dishwasher can leak because of door-seal problems, an unlevel installation, loose or damaged water connections, overfill conditions or worn internal seals.
Why Won’t My Dishwasher Start?
A dishwasher may not start because of a power problem, an unlatched door, the water supply, control lock or a selected delay-start setting.
Why Is My Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes?
Dishes may remain wet because of the selected cycle, low rinse aid, poor loading, cool incoming water, plastic items or a heating and drying-system problem.
Why Is My Dishwasher Not Draining?
A dishwasher may not drain because of a clogged filter or sump, a blocked or kinked drain hose, a sink or disposal connection problem, an air-gap or hose-routing issue, or a drain-pump problem.
