Furnace installation went perfectly. Edric S and Soon H were the most knowledgable installers I've ever had the pleasure to hire. They took the time to answer all or our questions and walked us through the entire installation process before and after. Highly recommend!

William was able to determine the problem. It was a large circuit board that had failed; one component on the board had melted. He computed repair cost. We elected to replace the old dishwasher and paid the service charge.

Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

If your dishwasher keeps filling with water at the bottom but doesn’t fill into the sink, the issue is likely due to a blockage within the dishwasher or drain. Regularly clean your dishwasher filter basket to ensure it’s not clogged with food, and run a vinegar rinse periodically if you have hard water to remove limescale buildup.

Yes, if your filter is damaged or simply too debris-filled to be of use, replace it with a new component. Check the instruction manual that accompanied the dishwasher for information as to the specific part. There are many online marketplaces that sell these parts, but perform due diligence to ensure you buy the right one.

Repair costs vary by issue, typically from $100 to $500, depending on the parts needed and labor involved.

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

Any drain in your house requires a water trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the home. Dishwashers don’t have an internal water trap, so they must use an external P trap. The most convenient P trap for the dishwasher is already in the plumbing under your sink.
