What do we check on a dishwasher?
- As dishwasher repair technicians, we check for water and chemical leaks and check detergent, sanitization, and rinse aid chemical levels
- We also make sure the rinse arms are moving freely during the dishwasher operation.
- We inspect dish racks for any signs of bending or damages and check if dishwasher turns automatically.
- The dishwasher must be at an optimal temperature of approx. 165°F (73.9°C) to 180 °F (82.2°C)2
- Inspect the drains to see if they open and close properly and look at the dishwasher timer and motor to make sure they are operating properly.
- Last but not least, we check the dishwasher water intake filter to make sure it is in place.
Average life of a dishwasher:
They say average life span of a dryer is around 10 to 15 years. However, there are definitely some exceptions.
In fact, the lifespan can depend on the type of brand, what it is made of (stainless-steel or plastic), how much the dishwasher is being used, the type of detergent being used and how often it is maintained and serviced.
If your dishwasher has been around for a decade or more, there is a chance that it will start to break down eventually. If you need to repair your dryer, consider these two things:
Is the repair cost more than half the cost of a new one if you were to buy the same make and model?
if the repair cost is more than half and the age is closer to 15 years, it probably isn’t worth the repair. You are better off buying a new one.
Of course, there are always exceptions as some heavy-duty Dishwasher like Speed Queen for example can last much longer and the cost of a new is much more than other brands.
Factors that affect lifespan
Longevity: High end brands and models are more reliable and can last longer.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning, descaling, and replacing faulty parts can extend the lifespan of a dishwasher.
Can I fix my own dishwasher myself?
