Effective services for common Kenmore dishwasher repair issues

Get in touch with the Kenmore repair experts at Sears Home Services if you need your dishwasher maintained. They'll work to diagnose your Kenmore dishwasher issue, recommend options for maintenance, troubleshoot common issues, and make repairs fast.

Dishwasher not draining

If you see standing water in the bottom of your dishwasher, it may be due to food and sentiment clogs in the filter, backup in the garbage disposal, issues with the drain hose or drain pump, or an air gap. The knowledgeable teams at Sears Home Services can help find the blockage and clear any debris.

Dishes not getting clean in dishwasher

If it seems like your dishes aren't getting as clean as they used to, it's probably time to do a deep clean to cleanse the interior and unclog the jets.

You might want to start by running your Kenmore dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar inside to loosen the debris as it steams and circulates. If you're still having trouble, the experts at Sears Home Services can take a closer look at the jets and waterways to get your dishwasher circulating and cleaning as expected.

Dishwasher leaking

Any aging dishwasher can experience leaks from a variety of sources. Homeowners who use Kenmore dishwashers may notice leaks around the seals, from beneath the appliance, or from any pipes leading to or from the back of the unit.

A leaking dishwasher can lead to flooding that damages cabinetry, drywall, and flooring. If you suspect that your Kenmore dishwasher needs maintenance, turn off the water to the appliance, and avoid running it until you have it serviced.

Dishwasher Doesn't Start

If you have trouble starting your dishwasher, it may just need a hard reset. If you follow the owner's manual, you may be able to locate and press the reset button yourself. The Kenmore directions may also recommend that you unplug your appliance for a short period of time. When in doubt, call the experts at Sears Home Services for maintenance.

Preventative Dishwasher Maintenance

Homeowners who schedule regular appliance service can ensure that their Kenmore dishwasher will work effectively and efficiently over time. Routine Kenmore dishwasher maintenance can also prevent homeowners from costly, unexpected repair needs.

Count on the experts at Sears Home Services, and they can help you learn more about the Kitchen Appliance Check-up package and Home Warranty options.
