Dishwasher faults we're called to in Shellharbour
- Won't drain — Broken glass or ceramics sitting in the pump, a dirty filter, a blocked S bend or a faulty pump — all of them need checking, in that order. Full guide: why a dishwasher won’t drain.
- Dishes coming out dirty — We check the spray arms are clear, that the water is actually heating inside the machine, then the pressure from the circulation pump.
- Won't start but the lights come on — Usually the door latch or interlock — the machine won’t run unless it’s sure the door is shut — and occasionally the controls.
- Water on the floor — Dishwashers rarely leak internally — most have a float that catches it and throws an error code. Water on the floor usually means a cracked inlet or outlet hose at the back.
- Smells — Stagnant water that’s sat too long. A full cycle with a dishwasher cleaner at a properly hot temperature usually sorts it — no parts needed.
Fisher & Paykel DishDrawers are a favourite of mine — very clever machines that don't fail often, and as the authorised F&P repairer we service both single and double drawers with genuine parts. If yours has stopped mid-cycle, it's usually recoverable — don't let anyone talk you into replacing it first.
