Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

Some common signs you have a dirty dishwasher filter are:

Food sticking to your dishes even after a thorough wash cycle
Odor coming from your dishwasher
Stains left on dishes and utensils
Water pooling in your dishwasher
Food stuck to parts of the dishwasher, like the racks, walls, or sprayer arm

Water is sitting at the bottom of your dishwasher, likely because the filter is dirty with food debris or because the drain hose has a clog. If the water is still sticking around after following the steps above, it’s time to contact a local plumber.

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.

A clogged air gap can cause a dishwasher not to drain. There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage. For example, if you have attached the air gap to a garbage disposal and forgotten to remove the knockout plug, wastewater may backflow into the dishwasher. Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters.

Only if the dishwasher isn’t made of stainless steel. The corrosive chemicals in bleach will stain stainless steel and can also cause further damage. To stay on the safe side, stick with an extra cycle of vinegar to banish any lingering odors.
