COMMON DISHWASHER PLUMBING PROBLEMS

A dishwasher is a sound investment for any home. They save time, provide convenience, and the many energy efficient models can help save money on utilities in a cash-strapped economy. Keeping your dishwasher running at peak efficiency is a simple way to ensure this appliance lasts for many years. A licensed plumber can be instrumental in troubleshooting dishwasher plumbing problems and making sure your dishwasher does the hard work for you.

The number one complaint many dishwasher owners have is that their dishwasher no longer gets the dishes clean. Bits of stuck-on food, water spots and grease should not accumulate on dishes. Although the solution to this problem could be as simple as an inferior dishwashing soap or overloading, it could also run deeper. Proper dishwasher maintenance requires an occasional equipment check. It takes no time at all for a plumber to check the hoses, connections and pipes leading from your dishwasher to the plumbing supply. When you have extinguished all other options, a plumber can be your best friend.

A dishwasher should drain properly, quietly and without incident. Keeping the water intake and outtake areas cleared of food after every wash is a must. Sometimes, the food can work its way into the inner plumbing, leading to a clog. When this occurs, the dishwasher will not drain fully, or may not drain at all. It is important to deal with clogs properly, as the longer they are allowed to remain, the more debris can accumulate. This can lead to costly repairs. It is best to be proactive and deal with draining issues as soon as they arise.

Another problem often associated with dishwashers can be attributed to hot water. In order for your dishwasher to work effectively, the water needs to be at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit. When this temperature is not reached, the soap is unable to fully remove the grease, grime and stuck on food. The likely culprit in this scenario is a faulty or less than optimal connection between your dishwasher and hot water heater. A licensed plumber can help to get your hot water where you need it, ensuring clean dishes with every wash.

A dishwasher is a great time-saving tool, and can increase both the value and convenience of your home. Dishwashers can be a fairly costly investment, but can last for many years with proper care. It is important to properly diagnose and repair common plumbing problems in order to keep your dishwasher running top notch.
