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.

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.

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 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.
