Know the home, know the fault
The area saw rapid growth during the 1980s and 1990s alongside the construction of the A38 Devon Expressway, and today, former paper mill buildings are being converted into homes. In older terraced properties, kitchens might have limited space, meaning dishwashers are sometimes installed tightly under worktops or next to other appliances. In the newer detached houses or modern mill conversions, integrated models are typically fitted behind matching cabinet doors. Regardless of the kitchen layout, a machine that stops working disrupts the daily routine. When a dishwasher fails to drain, water is left sitting in the base of the cabinet. This is usually caused by a blockage in the filter, a jammed drain pump or an obstructed waste hose. Poor cleaning results and dishes left wet point to different issues. If the spray arms are clogged with food debris or cannot rotate freely, the wash cycle will not clean effectively. Heating faults occur when the main element fails, which stops the water reaching the correct temperature to dissolve grease and dry the load. Leaks can develop from worn door seals or damaged internal hoses, while error codes on the display panel indicate specific electrical or sensor faults that prevent the machine from starting. During a visit, we look at draining faults and water left in the base, poor cleaning results and spray arm problems, heating faults and dishes left wet, leaks and door seal problems, as well as error codes and machines that will not start. Please note that while we fix electric ovens and hobs, we do not work on gas cookers or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765Water left in the base usually means the machine cannot drain properly. The drain filter might be blocked by food particles, or the drain pump could be jammed by a piece of broken glass. An obstructed waste hose can also prevent water from escaping. We check these components to restore normal draining.
Poor cleaning results happen when water cannot circulate correctly during the wash cycle. The spray arms might be blocked by debris or prevented from spinning by a tall item in the lower basket. If the machine has a heating fault, the water will not be hot enough to dissolve grease.
Modern dishwashers use error codes to indicate a specific fault detected by the internal sensors. This could be a door seal problem preventing the latch from engaging, a detected leak in the base, or a faulty control board. We look at the code and test the electrical components to find the fault.
