The ease of repairing a dishwasher depends on the specific issue and the individual’s level of technical skill and experience.

The complexity of the problem plays a significant role. Simple issues like clogged drains, loose connections, or replacing a worn-out seal can be relatively easy to address with basic troubleshooting and some guidance from the user manual.

But for complex issues, like those in the motor, the control boards, or heating elements, it’s best to seek professional assistance.

Technicians with experience and expertise in dishwasher repair can ensure proper diagnosis, use specialized tools, and have access to a wider range of replacement parts.

For example, some technicians (like those in QAR) have a stock of replacement parts with them to ensure the repairs get done quickly and properly the first time.

Now, if you’re uncertain about your ability to repair a dishwasher or the complexity of the issue, consult a professional technician. We can assess the problem and provide guidance or carry out the repair if necessary.

On average, a well-maintained dishwasher can last between 10 to 15 years.

These factors can affect the lifespan of a dishwasher:

Brand and quality: Dishwashers from reputable brands tend to have longer lifespans. Higher-end models often come with better components and construction, increasing their durability.

Usage and maintenance: The frequency of use and how well the dishwasher is maintained can impact its longevity. Regular cleaning, following proper loading guidelines, and routine maintenance can help extend the lifespan of the appliance.

Water quality: Hard water, which contains high levels of minerals, can cause mineral buildup and damage components over time. Using water softeners or regularly descaling the dishwasher can mitigate this issue.

Repair history: If a dishwasher has a history of repeated breakdowns or requires frequent repairs, it may have a shorter lifespan overall.

Some dishwashers may fail earlier due to manufacturing defects or other unforeseen issues, while others may last longer with proper care and maintenance.

Regularly cleaning filters, checking and cleaning spray arms, and addressing any issues promptly can help prolong the lifespan of your dishwasher.

Our dishwasher technicians list these as the most common reasons why a dishwasher may stop working:

Power supply issues: Check if the dishwasher is properly connected to a power source and that the circuit breaker or fuse hasn’t tripped. A power outage or electrical issues in the house could also be the cause.

Door latch problems: If the dishwasher doesn’t start or respond when the door is closed, it could indicate a faulty door latch or switch. The dishwasher may have safety mechanisms that prevent it from operating if the door is not securely closed.

Water supply problems: Insufficient or no water supply can cause the dishwasher to stop working. Check if the water supply valve is open and if the inlet hose is not kinked or blocked.

Drainage issues: A clogged or malfunctioning drain can prevent the dishwasher from working properly. Make sure the drain hose is not blocked, and check the dishwasher’s filter for debris.

Faulty control board: The control board, which manages the dishwasher’s operations, may fail due to electrical issues or component malfunction. If it’s faulty, it can cause the dishwasher to stop working entirely or have erratic behaviour.

Motor or pump problems: If the dishwasher’s motor or pump fails, this can prevent water circulation and proper functioning. Common causes include motor or pump damage, electrical issues, or worn-out components.

Heating element failure: If the dishwasher is not heating water or drying dishes, a faulty heating element could be the cause. This can result from a burned-out element or electrical problems.

Sensor or pressure switch issues: Sensors and pressure switches in the dishwasher help regulate water levels and temperature. If these components fail or become faulty, it can affect the dishwasher’s operation.

Control panel malfunction: A malfunctioning control panel or touchpad can prevent the dishwasher from starting or responding to commands.

These are just some common causes QAR dishwasher technicians have seen in our clients.
