Signs you may need dishwasher repair
A single symptom does not always identify a failed part. These common warning signs are a good reason to have the equipment checked:
- Dishes remain dirty
- Water remains after the cycle
- The dishwasher leaks
- The machine will not start or complete a cycle
Turn equipment off and seek prompt help if you smell gas, see smoke or sparking, find significant leaking near electrical parts, or suspect unsafe combustion. For a gas odor or immediate danger, leave the area and contact the gas utility or emergency services first.
