Dishwasher Repair
How Dishwasher Works
A dishwasher simplifies the task of cleaning dishes by automating the process through a series of components and cycles. When dishes are loaded into the dishwasher racks, water is pumped into the tub and heated to the desired temperature. Detergent is dispensed into the water, and a wash cycle begins, where spray arms distribute the soapy water evenly. The dishes are scrubbed clean by the spray and water jets. After the wash cycle, the dirty water is drained, and a rinse cycle commences, using clean water to remove detergent and food residues. Finally, the dishes are dried by either a heating element or air drying, depending on the dishwasher model. Sensors monitor water levels, temperature, and cycle progress for optimal cleaning efficiency. Here's a simple overview of how they work:
Key Components:
Heating Element: Heats water for washing and drying.
Water Pump: Circulates water.
Spray Arms: Spray water to clean dishes.
Detergent Dispenser: Releases detergent.
Racks: Hold dishes.
Washing Process:
Filling: Water enters and heats up.
Washing: Spray arms rotate, spraying water and detergent.
Draining: Dirty water is pumped out.
Rinsing: Fresh water rinses off detergent.
Drying: Heating element dries the dishes.
A functioning dishwasher saves time, conserves water, and ensures your dishes are hygienically clean.

Clean the Filter: Regularly clean to avoid clogs.
Check Spray Arms: Ensure they are clear of debris.
