Know the home, know the fault
Situated on the south western coast of England, the local housing stock is a mix of different eras. The modern urban area grew by merging several smaller historical settlements together. In districts like Wellswood and the Lincombes, wealthy Victorian residents constructed large Italian style villas, while the cliffs above the harbour saw multiple private apartment towers erected following the Second World War. Whether a dishwasher is installed in a spacious kitchen or a high-rise flat, it performs the same fundamental tasks. Moving a heavy machine out for inspection requires space, particularly where plumbing connections are tucked away in tight corners. When a dishwasher fails to clean properly, the issue is sometimes traced to blocked spray arms or a failing circulation pump. Machines that will not drain and leave water sitting in the base usually have a blockage in the filter system, a jammed drain pump, or a kinked waste hose. Heating faults become obvious when a cycle finishes but the dishes are left wet and cold, pointing to a broken heating element or a faulty thermostat. Leaks can develop from worn door seals, allowing water to escape. Modern units also display error codes or refuse to start when the control board detects a component failure. We repair dishwashers in your home, looking at everything from poor cleaning results and spray arm problems to draining faults and water left in the base. We also investigate heating faults, leaks, door seal problems, and machines that will not start. While we repair electric domestic appliances, we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs, or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765Water left in the base usually points to a draining fault. The machine might have a blocked filter, a jammed drain pump, or an obstruction in the waste hose. We inspect the drainage system to locate the blockage or identify if a faulty pump needs to be replaced to allow the water to clear.
Dishes left wet and cold indicate a heating fault. The appliance relies on a heating element to raise the water temperature for cleaning and drying. If the element fails or a thermostat stops working, the machine washes with cold water. We test these internal components to restore the heating function.
Leaks originate from several different places. A worn or damaged door seal allows water to escape during the wash cycle. Internal leaks can also develop from split hoses or a failing water inlet valve beneath the tub. We trace the source of the leak and replace the affected parts.
