Why are my dishes gritty on well water in Clover?

Sediment in the water is the likely cause. It can clog the filter, the spray arms and the inlet screen. Clean those first, and if the grit continues, consider a sediment filter for the house.

Our Lake Wylie dishwasher won't drain after we were gone a month. What happened?

Food residue may have dried in the filter or drain, or the drain pump may be sticking after sitting. Clean the filter and run the disposal if the dishwasher drains through it. If it still won't drain, we test the pump.

Sediment, iron and rural water

Dishwashers on private wells around Clover face sediment and iron that clog the inlet valve screen, coat the spray arms and leave a gritty film on dishes. A slow fill, weak spray or rust-colored residue in the tub are typical signs. Cleaning the spray arms and the filter at the bottom of the tub helps, and a whole-house sediment filter kept on schedule protects the valve.

If a dishwasher on well water stops filling entirely, the inlet valve may be clogged beyond cleaning or stuck shut. Turn off the dishwasher's breaker and the supply valve under the sink before pulling the kick plate to look for drips. Replacing the valve is a common, moderate repair, and the technician will also flush the line so the new screen does not clog on the first cycle.

Idle machines in lake homes

A dishwasher that sits unused for weeks can develop dried seals, a stuck float or a pump that hesitates at startup. Before leaving a Lake Wylie home for a while, run a quick rinse cycle and leave the door slightly open. If it will not start, drain or fill when you return, we test the pump, valve, float and controls, and we give you the price before any work.

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.
