In a way, the modern automated dishwasher repair Java Village has spoiled the latest generations of children. When I was a kid, dishes were a chore because they had to be washed by hand. Conversely, it’s almost fun to load a 101 Series or 300 Series dishwasher to the point of bursting, knowing that every single one of those dishes will be sparkling clean when the cycle finishes. In times when this technology fails us, it can feel like a veil has been lifted. Our delusions of advancement have been torn through like a gash in the sky opening up to another dimension. Instead of wailing and gnashing teeth at the though of a repair bill, take a quick look at these easy solutions to common dishwasher repair Java Village problems.
1. MY DISHWASHER JUST WONT WORK!
In the event of a dishwasher with no lights, sounds or water, the first thing to do is to check the external surfaces of the appliance. Is your dishwasher plugged in? This seems like a no-brainer, but your appliance may have come unplugged due to various circumstances. Then check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse. This electrical issue is another easily remedied folly. Other problem areas include the selector switch, the door latch, the wiring, and the timer motor. Finally, test the motor. If the motor needs to be replaced, it could be indicative of a bigger problem.
2. I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR, BUT THE DISHWASHER STILL WONT WORK!
If you can hear the motor but fail to get results, there may be a blockage in the pump or the motor. Debris from months of meals can accumulate on the motor or the pump, which requires the owner to manually clear the blockage out. Once the blockage is gone, test the motor once again. The motor start relay may be at fault. If the problem persists, the dishwasher may require a drive belt replacement. As with initial dishwasher installation, Viking part replacement can be a drawn-out and tedious process that is sometimes better left in the hands of a professional.
3. MY DISHWASHER REFUSES TO FILL WITH WATER!
In the event that your Viking Tuscany kitchen appliance repair Java Village refuses to fill up with water, the closest solution could simply involve turning the water supply on. Usually located under the sink, this switch can be the only thing standing in between you and a full rack of clean dishes. Otherwise, inspection must be done on the door latch, float assembly, door switch, drain valve, fill tube, float switch and water inlet valve. In particular, the fill tube, float switch, water inlet and drain valve can be specifically tested for any defects.
4. MY DISHWASHER WITH WATER SOFTENER IS LEAKING WATER!
A common problem with under sink dishwashers, solutions to water leaks are largely observational. First check the seal around the entire dishwasher. Ruptured seals allow water to leak through, and must be patched up for efficient running. Then check for overfilling. Overloading the dishwasher with plates and mugs can lead to tight quarters once the cycle is running, and lack of space can easily push a flow of water from behind the door and onto the floor. Simple solutions such as these frequently shed light on Viking dishwasher problems.
