Signs Your Dishwasher Needs Servicing

Your dishwasher usually gives subtle hints when something isn’t quite right. Paying attention to these signs early can save you time, money, and frustration down the track:

  • Dishes Feel Greasy or Gritty After Each Wash

    If your dishes aren’t coming out clean and still have food residue or a sticky film, it’s often a sign that the spray arms are clogged, the filters are dirty, or the water circulation is compromised.

  • Water Pooling at the Bottom of the Machine

    Standing water can indicate drainage problems or blockages, which not only affect cleaning performance but also increase the risk of leaks and damage to your flooring.

  • Musty or Burning Smell During or After a Cycle

    A strange odour may point to mould buildup, trapped food debris, or electrical faults. Failing to address this issue can compromise your dishwasher’s hygiene and negatively impact your home’s air quality.

  • Long or Incomplete Wash Cycles

    If your dishwasher is taking much longer than usual or stops mid-cycle, it could be due to faulty sensors, control panel issues, or water heating problems.

  • Frequent or Unexplained Error Messages

    Modern dishwashers display error codes to alert you of specific faults. If these messages continue to appear, a professional diagnosis is necessary to prevent further damage.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, don’t wait—book a service with Illawarra Appliance Repairs & Services. Catching issues early can prevent costly breakdowns later and help extend the life of your dishwasher.
