Dishwashers have long since gained the trust and respect of hostesses around the world. After using this unit, the dishes become perfectly clean and look as good as new. Unfortunately, like any household appliances, a dishwasher can fail its owners and break down. At the first sign of breakdown, you can contact our Poway Appliance Service Center. Our experts at Maytag Dishwasher Repair in Poway, CA.

Typical breakdowns and repair tips

Machines that are out of warranty are easier – you can take them apart, try to replace small parts yourself, and if you have enough experience, you can perform complex repairs. If you still don’t have experience with appliance repair, contact our Maytag Dishwasher Repair and Service technicians. Let’s consider the most common problems faced by dishwasher owners and find out how to fix the work of indispensable helpers.

Poor wash quality

If your dishwasher washes dishes badly and not to the end – look for the reasons of “wrong behavior”. White streaks on the plates, food residues smeared on the bottom of the pot, lost transparency glasses – all these are signs of poor-quality washing. They are caused by improper use of the machine or the wrong choice of detergent. Our Maytag Dishwasher Repair specialists will fix this problem as soon as possible.

Poor cleaning is also often caused by not cleaning the filters in a timely manner.

It’s easier to start by inspecting the internal surfaces and parts. It is necessary to unscrew the filters, remove the spray arms, clean everything thoroughly with brushes under running water and put them back in place.

The absence of rinse aid leads to the fact that on glass and ceramic dishes remain powder streaks. The same result is obtained by using products that are not intended for use in the machine. Carefully study the machine manual, especially the section on detergents, and also read the recommendations of the manufacturers of three-in-one tablets, powders and rinses. 

It is obligatory to follow the stacking order recommended by the manufacturer – cups should be placed in the upper tray, plates in the middle tray, and large-sized utensils in the lower tray. If you do not follow this pattern, heavily soiled dishes will not receive sufficient care. Contact our service department for Maytag Dishwasher Repair and Service.

Water remains inside the cabinet

A small puddle at the bottom of the washing chamber is a sign that the machine is functioning normally. A certain amount of liquid is necessary to maintain a certain level of humidity, so that the rubber seals do not dry out and remain elastic for longer. But excessive water is a signal that the machine is malfunctioning. Our Maytag Dishwasher Repair technicians will eliminate this breakdown.

The main causes of water stagnation in the tray are several:

• The outlet hose is connected too high, because of which the water is not in a hurry to leave the washing chamber.
• Clogging caused by improper maintenance – filters should be cleaned about once every 1-2 weeks.
• Pump – malfunction of the pumping device.
• Sensor – breakdown of the water level sensor.

If the first two causes can be eliminated independently, then with the second, difficulties may arise. Broken sensors or pumps require replacement. The best way out is to invite a Maytag Dishwasher Repair and Service specialist for a detailed diagnosis and selection of a suitable spare part.

Unexpected machine shutdown

A dishwasher that stops working before the end of the cycle is a red flag. A single case can be explained by a failure of the electronic system or a power surge, but regular stops most likely indicate problems with the power supply.

The cause of temporary lack of voltage in the network can be electrical installations – outlets, tees or filters. “Intermediaries” between the outlet and the power cord should be avoided, it is better to use a direct connection. But if a surge protector is used, choose a device with a fuse.

If you have previously changed the TEN in the boiler or dishwasher, then you will be able to perform and repair the dishwasher. It is important to correctly select a part similar to the broken one and carefully install it with Maytag Dishwasher Repair.

Complex breakdowns, such as electronic circuit board or motor failure, are better delegated to the skilled craftsmen at Poway Appliance Service Center. The advantage of contacting a service center is the warranty on the newly installed part, and the advantage of replacing or repairing it yourself is saving money. Maytag Dishwasher Repair and Service specialists will quickly determine why your dishwasher is not working properly and troubleshoot the problem.
