Dishwasher Installation in Charlotte, NC

Unfortunately, your dishwasher won’t last forever. Keep an eye out for the following signs that signal it’s time for a replacement:

• Your dishes are coming out dirty: Dirty dishes result from clogged filters, improper loading, or caked-on food. However, if you’ve tried everything and noticed that you’re still pulling dirty plates out after running a cycle, your dishwasher is likely malfunctioning.
• Your dishwasher is over 10 years old: Dishwashers have an average lifespan of 10 years. Most older models will have low energy efficiency and begin to degrade, causing your energy bills to skyrocket. Consider upgrading to a newer model to save money and increase the efficiency of your dishwasher.
• You notice rusting: If you notice that the inside of your dishwasher is rusting, you should look into a replacement as soon as possible. This can be a sign of a water leak or a serious problem that can impact your health.
• You see standing water after a complete cycle: Pooling water at the bottom of your dishwasher after a complete cycle means that the drain is clogged. However, if you clean the drain and the issue doesn’t resolve, you may need a replacement.
• The door won’t latch: If your dishwasher door won’t latch or lock and you have a newer model, you can have the latch repaired. If you have an older model, it’s probably time for an upgrade.
• Your dishes are cold after running a cycle: After a cycle is complete, your dishes should be hot to the touch. The FDA guidelines recommend a dishwasher water temperature of 171° F to ensure proper sanitization. If the water in your dishwasher is no longer hot, your heating coil is likely broken.
• There are cracks in your dishwasher: If you see cracks inside your dishwasher, it’s important to have it replaced immediately. Cracks allow water to leak, causing mold and mildew to build up and water damage in your kitchen.
• Water is leaking from the unit: If water is leaking onto the floor under your unit, turn off the water right away and have one of our technicians come to inspect your dishwasher. Leaking water can cause serious damage to your kitchen and without replacement may result in mold and mildew.
• You hear strange noises coming from your dishwasher: If you hear noises that are out of the ordinary coming from your dishwasher, these are generally signs that the motor is malfunctioning.
