Next to the TV and the microwave, the dishwasher is probably the most modern appliance there is. And, as with these other contraptions, the day it breaks down is memorable. So let's take a look at what dishwashers do and how to keep them doing it.
How Does It Work?
A dishwasher is a major appliance designed to clean dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and other kitchenware. It delivers water through the water inlet into the tub while the detergent dispenser releases detergent in stages to clean the dishes. The heating element warms the solution and a pump channels the water into spray arms that spray and clean the dishes. When the wash cycle is complete, clean water is sprayed to rinse off the detergent. The heating element is also used to dry dishes.
What Can Go Wrong?
With all that water running through it, a dishwasher on the fritz can damage flooring and cabinets, so maintenance and troubleshooting is a necessity. What can cause problems? Switches and motors can fail. Dispensers and spray arms may become dirty and clogged. The heating element may malfunction. The door latch may be out of adjustment. Drain valve parts may need replacing. The drain hose may be clogged, and the list goes on. Anytime Service understands the mechanics and can get you up and running in no time!
