Cafe Dishwasher Repairs
If you're looking for help fixing your Cafe Dishwasher, look no further! Our comprehensive Cafe Dishwasher repair guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and maybe show you how to repair your appliance.
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Cafe manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Cafe appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Cafe Dishwasher not cleaning
Water Inlet Valve. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the valve is clogged or defective, the dishwasher won’t get enough water to clean dishes properly. If the water inlet valve is clogged, replace it. Do not attempt to clean the water inlet valve—cleaning the valve could make it more likely to fail.
Cafe Dishwasher not draining
Drain Impeller. The drain impeller pushes water through the drain hose and into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the impeller is broken, replace it.
Cafe Dishwasher buttons not working
Touchpad. First, confirm that the dishwasher display is working. If the display is still working, try pressing some of the touchpad buttons. If some of the buttons respond correctly but others don’t, it is likely that the touchpad is at fault. (Some manufacturers sell the touchpad separately from the control panel. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the touchpad and control panel together. If you cannot replace the touchpad individually, replace the touchpad and control panel.)
Cafe Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking
Heating Element. The heating element heats up the water to operating temperature. If the water doesn’t reach the proper temperature after a set amount of time, a light on the control panel might start flashing. To determine if the heating element has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the heating element does not have continuity, replace it.
Cafe Dishwasher leaking
Water Inlet Valve. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water inlet valve is stuck open, the dishwasher will continue to fill with water until the dishwasher leaks or overflows. If the water inlet valve is at fault, replace it. Water inlet valves are not repairable—if the valve is defective, you must replace it.
Cafe Dishwasher leaking from motor area
Impeller and Seal Kit. First, try to determine the source of the leak. If the water is leaking from the motor shaft area, the motor shaft seal is likely defective. If the seal is defective, replace it. (Some manufacturers sell the seal independently of the impeller. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the impeller and seal together. Still other manufacturers require that you purchase the entire pump and motor assembly instead of the impeller and seal. It is usually more cost effective to replace the impeller and seal kit rather than the pump and motor assembly.)
Cafe Dishwasher won't start
Door Switch. The door switch prevents the dishwasher from running while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will prevent the dishwasher from running even when the door is closed. To determine if the door switch is at fault, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.
Cafe Dishwasher won't latch
Door Hinge. If the door hinges are damaged, the door won’t be able to latch properly. Inspect the door hinges for damage. If a hinge is bent or broken, replace it.
Cafe Dishwasher dispenser not dispensing soap
Bi-Metal. The bi-metal actuator is a metal loop which acts as a latch for the dispenser door. As electricity is applied to the bi-metal, it deforms and bends away from the latch, releasing it. If the bi-metal is burned out, it won’t release the dispenser door. To determine if the bi-metal has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the bi-metal does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, make sure that the dishwasher is getting enough water. If the water level is too low, the wash motor may not draw enough current through the bimetal, causing the bimetal not to bend enough to work properly.

Cafe Dishwasher maintenance
The dishwasher itself seems to work really great. It feels like even on the normal cycle though that it takes longer than our previous dishwasher by at least 30 minutes. I don't love the look of the handle on it. I prefer the hidden handles. It occasionally leaves a little soap powder residue in the dish tab dispenser and that seems weird. I'm using the recommended dish tabs so I'm not sure why it would do that. The tabs do seem to fit into that slot different than our previous washer. All in all it does clean really well and I don't have to rinse the dishes as thoroughly as before.
This dishwasher has a lot of cool and fancy features that most do not. We were able to get it for half price as a floor model at our local Pacific Sales inside of Best Buy in Summerlin. Our experience with the store was not very good. The dishwasher was missing a lot of parts and we owned the dishwasher for a month before it could be installed. The machine itself is way better than the older model Bosh dishwasher we replaced.
I was looking for a dishwasher that had all the features, but also had raised buttons for operating it. My husband is totally blind and I am visually impaired. The controls light up and I usually use the same cycles so all my husband has to do is push the start button. It does a great job cleaning the dishes and is very quiet. I also love the large cavity inside and all of the adjustability. Looks great in my new kitchen.
Works great and is very quite. It looks a little plain and the controls are hidden on the top edge of the door. This good and bad. The front is not busy with buttons and controls, but you can't see what you pushed.
Our old dishwasher was very noisy. Sometimes, this one is so quiet, it is hard to tell if it is on. The controls are on the top of the door, which seems like the trend now, but I prefer the old way when they were on the front. This is the best cleaning dishwasher we have owned. The racks have adjustments that make sense. I also like the spray nozzles on the racks for cleaning out bottles, etc. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase and would recommend this to anyone. An added bonus was that we got a great price from Best Buy.
