How Long Does It Take To Fix A Dishwasher?
The average repair time for a dishwasher is between two and three hours, depending on the complexity of the problem. If you want to be sure your dishwasher will be fixed on time, then it is advisable to call us beforehand to schedule an appointment. That way, we can send someone out immediately to assess the situation and get the job done quickly and efficiently. Before we get started, let us take a quick look at the most common issues that relate to this appliance.
Leaking Dishwash Water
Dishwashers are prone to various problems that can be easily fixed. One of the most common issues is leaking water in the area where the connection to the faucet is made. Not only does this cause unnecessary damage, it also carries the risk of making your kitchen and bathroom a swampy mess. To stop this, make sure you tighten the nut that connects the water hose to the dishwasher. Another simple yet effective way to stop leaks is to turn off the water when you are not using it. Another common issue is the sudden appearance of rust on the outside of the appliance. This problem can be easily fixed by spraying on some steel salt and letting it air dry. After that, you can apply a protective coating and ensure your dishwasher will stay looking brand new for many years to come.
Cracked Drainer/Sink
The other common issue that you will experience with a dishwasher is a cracked or broken sink or drainer. This part of the appliance is where the waste water goes when you wash the dishes. If this part of the sink breaks, then all the water will spout out, causing serious damage and mess. To avoid this, replace it immediately or, at least, fix it with a stainless steel sleeve that will not only improve the look of your kitchen, but will also ensure the safety of your family.
Leaking Sealed Motor
A leaky sealed motor is yet another common problem that plague these appliances. The motor is the part of the dishwasher that turns the washing machine drum. With time, this area of the appliance will deteriorate, making the entire unit heavier and more unstable. This is why it is best to have it serviced professionally and, above all, inspected from time to time so that you can catch any potential issues early on. When a motor starts leaking, then it becomes a matter of urgency to replace it immediately or, at least, fix it properly so that it does not cause further damage.
Pitted Detergent Dispenser (Dosetech)
The last and, probably, the most annoying issue that you will experience with a dishwasher is the pitting of the detergent dispenser (Dosetech). This part of the appliance is where you pour in the detergents before starting the wash cycle. When you have a lot of laundry to do, then it is quite inconvenient to keep pouring in the detergents all the time. That is why it is preferable to have the dispenser fixed so that it does not cause any inconvenience. Besides, having the dispenser repaired will help improve the look of your kitchen and bathroom.
To be able to fix your dishwasher, you will need the following tools: Phillips head screwdriver, small socket wrench, and a few hand tools (small pliers, needle nose and channel-lock pliers). In addition, make sure you have all the necessary parts before starting to fix it. Many appliances are built with complicated, specialized tools that are not available at your local hardware store. If you do not have the appropriate tools, then it is best to call the dishwasher repair service so that they can send someone out immediately to fix it. Otherwise, you might end up damaging your appliance even more. When it comes to your home, your safety and your budget are the priorities. That is why we want to assure you that we will do our best to keep your money in your own pocket. When you choose our dishwasher repairs service, instead of getting entangled in expensive and time-consuming repairs, you can be sure that everything will be taken care of professionally and, most importantly, on time.
