Dishwasher not cleaning in Philadelphia.

Poor cleaning is usually the spray arms, the filter or the pump, all straightforward.

  • Are the dishes coming out gritty, or coming out wet but clean?
The straightforward case

Gritty means water is not reaching them: blocked spray arms, a clogged filter, or a weak pump. All quick to sort.

Why it happens

Why your dishwasher isn't cleaning.

The usual culprits, in plain words. I confirm which one it is before quoting anything.
01

Clogged spray arms

The arm holes clog with food and hard-water scale until barely any water reaches the top rack. Pull the arms out and check the holes yourself first, most of the time that's the whole problem.
02

Filter and sump

A filter nobody has cleaned just recirculates the same grime back onto the dishes. Worth pulling it and rinsing it yourself before anyone drives out for it.
03

Wash pump or diverter

When the pump loses strength, or the diverter stops switching between the arms, the machine runs a full cycle and washes almost nothing. That part is buried inside, so I open it up and test it rather than guess, and on an older or lower-cost machine it's worth weighing the part against what the machine is worth.

How much does it cost to fix a dishwasher that isn't cleaning?

Every visit starts with a flat $89 diagnostic, and that $89 is applied to the repair. Most repairs of this kind start from $345, including parts, and every job is backed 90 days. If it is not worth fixing, I tell you that instead of selling you a repair.
