After a thunderstorm my Harrisburg dishwasher's lights flash and it won't start. What should I do?

Turn off its breaker for a full minute, then restore power and try a short cycle. Many controls recover from a surge that way. If the error returns, a board or sensor may have been damaged, and we can test it during a visit.

Do you repair dishwashers in Concord townhomes where the unit is tight under the counter?

Yes. We slide the dishwasher out carefully to reach the water line, drain and wiring, then reset and level it when the repair is done. If the mounting brackets or the water connection are part of the problem, we point that out too.

Drains, disposers and storm-tripped controls

Most dishwashers here drain through the garbage disposer or a high loop under the sink. A disposer installed without its knockout plug removed, a clogged air gap, or a drain hose kinked behind the cabinet will leave water in the tub. Inside the machine, the filter at the bottom collects food and glass bits, and a neglected one causes poor cleaning long before anything breaks.

Concord and Harrisburg homes on city water rarely deal with the sediment that wells bring, but summer thunderstorms are another matter. A flicker of power can leave a newer dishwasher frozen mid-cycle or flashing an error. Turn the dishwasher's breaker off for a minute, turn it back on, and run a short cycle. Clean the filter while you wait.

If that does not clear it, the technician tests the drain pump, inlet valve, heater, door latch and control board. Builder-grade dishwashers in newer subdivisions are generally worth repairing when the problem is a pump or valve, and we will tell you when a cracked tub or a failed board on an older model points toward replacement instead.

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.

Symptoms, causes and repair-or-replace advice for every type of dishwasher are in our complete dishwasher repair guide.
