The chances are that you have ever unloaded your dishwasher only to find that half of the dishes aren’t completely clean. Sometimes the dishwasher leaves an oily residue behind, forcing you to run them again or finish cleaning them by hand. A malfunctioning dishwasher can also leave pools of water leaks, damaging your delicate floors. In this blog, we will discuss some of the useful home appliance maintenance tips that will help you get the most out of your dishwasher and get clean dishware all the time.
One of the frustrating common problems with dishwashers is water leaks. The water pools are hazardous and can also damage delicate wooden floors. Luckily, dishwasher leaks are easy to fix. Here are some of the main causes of dishwasher leaks and how to fix the problem.
The door latch is usually the main culprit when you notice that the water is accumulating under the dishwasher door. Using a screwdriver to tighten the latch can help solve the problem. If the problem persists, then the gasket needs replacing. Although this might sound complicated, the gasket refers to the sealing that runs alongside the door, ensuring a watertight seal and preventing water from coming out of the appliance. You can replace the gasket yourself or ask for help from dishwasher repair technicians. For DIY replacement, soak the new gasket in warm soapy water. The warm water makes the gasket flexible, making it easy to install.
