Why does my JennAir dishwasher smell bad between washes?

Food trapped in the filter and the sump is the usual cause, especially in humid weather. Remove and rinse the filter, wipe the door gasket, and run a hot empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner. If the odor returns quickly, a partial drain blockage may be holding dirty water.

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.

JennAir Dishwashers: What We Check First

JennAir dishwashers are built on Whirlpool's premium dishwasher platform, dressed in JennAir's panels, handles and controls. Inside you will find a stainless tub, a removable filter assembly under the lower spray arm, a drain pump and a circulation pump, a water inlet valve, and a heating element or heated wash system depending on the model. Many have a third rack and extra spray zones, which add a few more hoses and diverters to inspect.

Drain pump jammed by debris, leaving water standing in the tub
Clogged filter assembly causing gritty dishes and slow draining
Water inlet valve or screen restricted by sediment, causing weak fills
Door gasket or latch wear leading to leaks at the front

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our JennAir dishwasher repair guide.

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.
