Our Peachland dishwasher leaves a gritty film. Is it broken?

Not necessarily. Grit usually comes from well sediment or a clogged filter. Clean the filter and check your whole-house filter first. If the film continues, we can check whether the inlet valve screen is restricting water.

Rust stains appeared in our Polkton dishwasher. Is the tub rusting through?

Usually the color comes from iron in the water, not from the tub. Stainless and plastic tubs do not rust that way, though chipped racks can. We inspect the tub and racks and tell you plainly what we find.

Sediment, Iron and the Dishwasher Inlet

Well water around Peachland and Polkton can carry fine sediment that settles in the dishwasher's inlet valve screen. As the screen clogs, the dishwasher takes in less water and dishes come out with a gritty film or food left on. Iron may leave rust-colored stains on the tub, racks and dishes, even when the dishwasher itself is fine.

Start with the parts you can reach. Turn the dishwasher off at its switch or breaker, remove the bottom rack, and rinse the filter at the base of the tub. Check whether a whole-house filter is overdue for a change, since a clogged one can lower the pressure reaching the kitchen. If the house has a water softener or iron filter, confirm it is working.

Our technician measures the fill, inspects the inlet valve, tests the drain pump and wash motor, and looks for leaks under the tub. If the valve or a pump needs replacing and is not on hand, we tell you the timing and the price before ordering.

Before You Book: Dishwasher Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent dishwasher problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Leaking WaterSafety: Turn off the water supply under the sink, wipe up the water, and check that you're using dishwasher detergent rather than dish soap.
Overfilling with WaterSafety: Turn off the water supply under the sink right away if water is still entering, and check that the float moves freely.
Leaking from BottomSafety: Shut off the water supply, remove the kick plate if it unclips easily, and look with a flashlight for drips; leave anything electrical alone.
Water on Floor Under DishwasherSafety: Dry the floor, then check inside the sink cabinet for drips and turn off the dishwasher supply if needed.
