Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular dishwasher maintenance tips like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.

To create a siphon break and remove any chance of dirty sink water or water that backs up into the sink from getting into your dishwasher, your dishwasher drain hose needs to have a high loop or an air gap device as part of its installation. All building codes require at least a high loop. In many places, it’s necessary to install an air gap device to meet the code.

Professional services ensure correct installation, verify water-tight seals, and safely address plumbing and electrical connections in dishwashers.

Some signs that your dishwasher is going out include:

The door no longer latches
Dishes are still dirty after a cycle
Dishes are cold after a cycle
Rust inside or outside the unit
Cracks inside the dishwasher tub
Water collecting at the bottom or outside the unit

If your dishwasher is not energy-efficient or is older than 10 years, you should also consider replacing it. Repairing an older model may be more expensive than replacing it with something newer and more energy- or water-efficient.

Most repairs take 1-3 hours, but complex issues requiring part replacements may take longer if parts need to be ordered.
