Five Common Issues With Dishwashers
Posted On: June 21, 2021

Owning a dishwasher can save you a lot of time in the kitchen, especially when you have a large family or are hosting a gathering with your family and friends. Not only do they save you time, but they are very convenient. All you have to do is load it up, add dish soap and rinse aid, turn it on and sit back and relax. 


Like any other appliance, dishwashers can come with some issues. Here are five common problems you may come across when owning one. 


  1. Dishes coming out wet: This is a common issue with most dishwashers, and it's likely due to not adding enough rinse aid. Rinse aid helps keep water droplets off your dishes and prevents streaks spots from forming on your dishes during the cycle.
  2. Dishwasher runs too long: If you notice that your dishwasher is running longer than usual, it could be because the water isn't hot enough to run. Try running the hot water for a few moments before starting it.
  3. Dirty dishes: The reason for dirty dishes even after the cycle has finished could be caused by a dirty or clogged filter. A dirty filter can have an impact on the dishwasher's performance. 
  4. The dishwasher isn't draining: The likely culprit to your dishwasher not draining is caused by an improperly installed drain plug.
  5. Spots on dishes: If you're still finding spots on dishes even after adding a rinse aid, this could be due to an issue with hard water.
