Common Dishwasher Problems We Fix in Toronto and the GTA
Choose the dishwasher symptom below. These are the most common dishwasher problems we diagnose in Toronto and GTA homes, condos, rental units, and managed properties. Each issue can have more than one cause, so Octopus Royal checks the full system before recommending repair.
Dishwasher Not Draining or Standing Water Inside
Standing water can come from a clogged filter, blocked sump, restricted drain hose, air gap issue, failed drain pump, or an installation problem at the sink or disposer connection.
- Clean the filter and visible sump area.
- Confirm the drain hose has a proper high loop.
- If connected to a disposer, confirm the knock-out plug was removed.
Dishes Still Dirty, Cloudy, Gritty or Greasy
Poor cleaning can be caused by blocked spray arms, weak circulation pump, dirty filter, low water level, poor detergent performance, or a heating problem.
- Remove and rinse the filter.
- Flush the spray arms if the holes are blocked.
- Run hot water at the sink before starting the cycle.
Dishwasher Leaking Water From the Door, Bottom or Under the Sink
Dishwasher leaks can come from a door gasket, inlet hose, drain hose, pump seal, loose clamp, cracked component, detergent foam, or poor leveling.
- Inspect and clean the door gasket.
- Confirm dishwasher detergent is being used, not dish soap.
- Check whether the unit looks level and stable.
Dishwasher Will Not Start or Has No Power
A dishwasher that will not start may have a power issue, tripped breaker, failed door latch, active control lock, touch panel failure, wiring fault, or control board issue.
- Confirm the breaker is on.
- Check control lock mode.
- Listen for the door latch clicking into place.
Dishwasher Error Codes, Beeping or Stopping Mid-Cycle
Error codes can point to drain faults, heating faults, water inlet issues, float switch problems, leak detection, wiring faults, or control board problems.
- Write down the exact error code.
- Note when the code appears during the cycle.
- Clean the filter and confirm water supply is open.
Dishwasher Cycle Takes Too Long or Dishes Are Not Drying
Long cycles and wet dishes are often connected to heating system problems, temperature sensing, poor rinse aid use, low incoming water temperature, or venting issues.
- Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
- Run hot water at the sink before starting.
- Confirm heated dry and normal cycle settings are selected.
