Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

Depending on your available time and skillset, there are some aspects of dishwasher repair you can DIY. Remember that dishwashers use water and electricity, which can cause potentially hazardous situations. However, there are some things you can do to reduce your overall repair cost, such as:

  • Cleaning the spray arm

  • Unclogging the float

  • Replacing the door gasket

  • Cleaning the door filter

  • Adjusting the door latch

Dishwashers should be cleaned a minimum of once every 3 months, but really it should be done monthly. This is to prevent germ buildup and will help keep your machine running smoothly. Dishwasher maintenance isn’t too difficult, you’ll simply clean the filter, wipe down the spray arms with vinegar or rubbing alcohol, and run the cycle on empty. If there is any debris, you can remove it with a small metal pick. Do not use wood as the tip can break off inside the machine.

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.

The cost to repair a dishwasher depends on the type and scope of the problem. Replacing a heating element typically costs between $150 and $250 , for example. Depending on the age of your dishwasher and the extent of the problem, replacing the machine may be the more cost-effective option.

To extend the lifespan, clean filters regularly, run cleaning cycles with vinegar, avoid overloading, and check for leaks.
