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

Basic maintenance, such as cleaning filters, is DIY-friendly, but repairs involving electrical components, pumps, or valves should be handled by a professional.

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

Your dishwasher drains through a hose that attaches to the plumbing below your sink or snakes out the back of your machine. In most cases, you can access one side of the hose from below your sink, as it usually ties into the same drainline that your sink uses. Otherwise, you may need to pull the dishwasher out of the counter to access it.
