Why does my Smeg dishwasher keep pumping out and will not start a cycle?

That behavior often means the anti-flood protection has tripped because water has reached the tray in the base. Something is leaking, whether a hose, a seal or suds from the wrong detergent. The leak needs to be found and fixed, and the tray dried, before the machine will run normally again.

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.

Smeg Dishwashers: What We Check First

Smeg dishwashers are built along European lines. Most are 24-inch built-in units, many fully integrated behind a custom cabinet panel, with a stainless tub, a fine filter assembly in the sump, a circulation pump with a heating element, and a separate drain pump. Many models also include anti-flood protection: a tray in the base with a float switch that shuts the machine down and runs the drain pump if water collects there.

Water in the base tray triggering the anti-flood float switch
Drain pump jammed by glass or debris from the sump
Heating element or circuit failing, leaving dishes cold and wet
Door springs and hinges wearing under heavy custom panels

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