Don’t Miss Out on Backyard Fun Because of a Broken Dishwasher

Summer is a time for cookouts and backyard fun. It’s a time for enjoying the great outdoors and spending time with friends and family. Some people enjoy relaxing in the backyard pool or playing in the sprinklers with the kids. Others love a good barbecue and drinks out on the back porch. Unfortunately, summer fun can be interrupted by the likes of a broken dishwasher. Instead of being outside enjoying the summer, homeowners find themselves with a countertop full of dishes to do and a broken dishwasher! So read on to discover typical dishwasher problems and how to prevent them. 

Typical Dishwasher Problems

Most dishwashers should last from 8 to 12 years before they need replacing. Still, there are all kinds of issues that can crop up with even relatively young dishwashers. 

One major problem is when the dishwasher starts leaking onto the kitchen floor. This is often due to a broken or out-of-place door gasket. It can also be caused by a buildup of gunk or old food on the gasket. This is fairly easy for homeowners to check themselves. It is the black rubber seal that the door sits into when it’s closed. 

Checking for tears or loose areas is a good start. But not every problem is so easy to locate. Sometimes the dishwasher stops working completely. Other times it doesn’t drain. These problems are best left to the professionals. 

Professional Plumbing Solutions

When tackling a tricky dishwasher problem, it’s a good idea to get a professional opinion. Plumbers work on dishwashers all the time and know all the tips and tricks to get them going again. Instead of missing out on fun time in the backyard with the family, many homeowners prefer to call a professional plumbing company to handle dishwasher issues. This saves them a headache and gives them the time to enjoy the summer while it’s here. 

Prevent Issues With Proper Maintenance

To prevent dishwasher problems, it’s best to perform maintenance once in a while. Dishwashers don’t need much care, but they do need some to help them live a long and productive life in the kitchen. Here are a few ways homeowners can help prevent future dishwasher issues. 

  • Clean filters: Not every dishwasher has a filter, but those that do can get clogged up with food debris. It’s best to clean these filters once every couple of months. 
  • Inspect the spray arm: Sometimes, the spray arm at the bottom of a dishwasher gets clogged with old food. This can prevent the jets of water from properly cleaning all the dishes in the dishwasher. If there is food stuck in these holes, one can clean them with a toothpick. 
  • Clean the seal: To prevent leakages and breakages in the door seal, wipe the door seal every few months with a damp cloth and a gentle cleaning solution.
