Why does my Mount Pleasant dishwasher leave orange stains on the racks?

That is usually iron from well water. It can stain racks and the tub and sometimes contributes to valve wear. We repair the dishwasher side, and a water treatment company can address the iron at the well.

My Midland dishwasher stopped mid-cycle during a power outage. Is it damaged?

Probably not, but it may hold an error. Turn the breaker off for a minute, then on, and run a short cycle once the well pump has power. If it still will not run, we can test the controls and sensors.

Well water inside the dishwasher

A dishwasher fills through a small inlet valve with a fine screen, and on well water that screen can clog with sediment until the machine underfills and cleans poorly. Iron leaves orange or brown stains on racks and the tub, and minerals form a film on glasses. Over time, grit wears the valve seat and the wash pump seal, which can lead to leaks around the base.

Clean the filter in the bottom of the tub and check the spray arms for blocked holes. If the house loses water when the well pump loses power, a dishwasher that was mid-cycle may show an error afterward; reset it at the breaker and run a short cycle. If water appears under the door, turn off the supply and power.

The technician tests the inlet valve, pump, heater, float and control, cleans what can be cleaned and quotes before replacing parts. We can tell you when a whole-house filter would extend the life of the repair, though that work belongs to a water treatment company.

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.
