Know the home, know the fault
Properties near the harbour in Brixham feature small terraced cottages built during or before the nineteenth century. Older terraces generally have a small kitchen, which can mean a dishwasher is fitted into a tight space. Modern residential housing usually provides standard under-counter gaps for freestanding or integrated machines. Dishwashers that will not drain, clean, heat or start require investigation. A machine leaving water in the base points to a blocked filter, a jammed drain pump or an obstructed waste hose. When dishes emerge dirty, the spray arms might be clogged with food debris or the circulation pump could be failing to generate enough water pressure. Heating faults, which leave plates wet and cold at the end of a cycle, indicate a broken heating element or a faulty thermostat. Leaks can develop from a split door seal or a damaged inlet valve. Error codes flashing on the display highlight specific component failures that stop the machine from starting. We repair domestic appliances directly in customers' homes. Please note that we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765Water left in the base usually means the appliance cannot drain. The filter might be blocked with food debris, or the drain pump could be jammed by a foreign object like a piece of broken glass. An obstructed waste hose under the sink can also prevent water from clearing at the end of a cycle.
Dishwashers rely on hot water to clean effectively and evaporate moisture during the drying phase. If the plates are wet and cold, the heating element or the thermostat has likely failed. Without heat, the machine cannot dissolve detergent properly or dry the load, requiring a replacement component to restore function.
A leak from the front of the machine is often caused by a damaged or degraded door seal. Over time, the rubber gasket can split or lose its shape, allowing water to escape during the wash cycle. Leaks can also originate underneath the appliance from a faulty inlet valve or a loose internal hose.
