King Rooter was fantastic. Our plumber, Charles, came quickly and worked diligently to solve the problem. He explained everything that was going on. And then, on his way out, he even helped us fix a problem with our dishwasher. The whole time he was courteous and professional.

Installation was very quick, perhaps too quick. Had to call installer back after he left because of a leaking pipe. However, it was corrected within a few hours of my call. Everything's fine now. Good value, knowledgeable installer and good customer service.

Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

Your dishwasher drain hose may have a clog if your dishwasher is full of water, your dishes aren’t getting cleaned, or water takes a long time to discharge into the garbage disposal.

The most common reason for a smelly dishwasher is a dirty dishwasher filter. The filter is responsible for catching food while your machine is running to prevent clogs. Over time, that filter gets more and more filled with food particles. Cleaning your dishwasher filter monthly can keep the smell at bay.

If the dishwasher is in working condition, start and run a complete cycle with nothing inside. Let it drain and sit overnight before removing the hoses. In theory, it should effectively drain. You may find residual water in the hoses, but you can plug them. If the dishwasher breaks down midcycle it can sometimes be full of water. You’ll need to manually remove the water with a plastic cup before removing the dishwasher.

If your dishwasher isn’t draining, some common causes include a clogged drain filter, drain hose, or air gap. Also, if you have a garbage disposal, a clog in the disposal can back up your dishwasher since they share plumbing, as can a clog in your kitchen sink’s plumbing. A handy DIYer may be able to figure out how to unclog a dishwasher, but you may need to call in a plumber if you can’t locate and clear the clog yourself.

Common issues include drainage problems, faulty doors, inconsistent cleaning performance, unresponsive controls, or unusual noises.
