Know the home, know the fault
The older medieval and Elizabethan streetscapes feature narrow lanes and stone stairways. In a tourist destination like Dartmouth, dishwashers in holiday lets might sit unused for weeks before handling multiple heavy loads in a few days. Whether a machine is integrated behind a cabinet door or freestanding, it relies on a steady water supply and clear drainage to function. When a dishwasher fails to drain, dirty water is left sitting in the base of the tub. This happens if the drain pump is blocked by food debris or if the waste hose is kinked behind the unit. Poor cleaning results point to spray arm problems, where the small holes become clogged with grit, preventing the water from reaching the plates. Heating faults leave dishes wet and cold at the end of a cycle, usually indicating a failed heating element or a faulty thermostat. Leaks can develop around the front of the machine if the door seal is torn, while error codes or a machine that will not start might mean a faulty control board or a damaged door latch. During a visit, we look at draining faults, poor cleaning results, spray arm problems, heating failures, leaks, door seal issues, error codes and machines that refuse to start. We dismantle the necessary sections to inspect the pumps, heaters and sensors. We repair electric appliances, but we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765Water left in the base means the machine has a draining fault. The drain pump might be blocked by a piece of broken glass or food debris, or the waste hose could be kinked. We look at the pump and the drainage route to clear any blockages and restore normal draining.
Dishes left wet and cold indicate a heating fault. Dishwashers use hot water to clean and the residual heat to dry the load. If the heating element has failed or a thermostat is not reading the temperature correctly, the water remains cold. We inspect the heating system to resolve this.
Poor cleaning results are usually caused by spray arm problems or a lack of water pressure. The small holes in the spray arms can become clogged with seeds or grit, stopping the water from reaching the dishes. We check the spray arms and the circulation pump to address cleaning failures.
