The dishwasher saves time by eliminating the need to wash dirty dishes by hand. For various reasons, equipment often fails, requiring qualified repair.
Causes of dishwasher breakdowns
With age, the components and mechanisms of the equipment wear out, therefore equipment with a service life of 5 years or more usually fails for this reason. In such cases, the master determines the defective part and replaces it, fully restoring the machine.
If breakdowns happen with new equipment, then the reasons may be as follows:
- production defects - this rarely happens and more often with inexpensive models;
- improper installation or errors when connecting household appliances;
- the use of low-quality detergents that harm internal nodes;
- violation of the rules of operation of equipment.
To minimize the risks of malfunctions, you must follow the manufacturer's recommendations, including not loading prohibited items, closing the door tightly, placing dishes correctly, etc.
If the failure was not avoided, contact the service. Most often, repair requires replacement of spare parts, so it is very difficult to fix the problem on your own (especially in the absence of experience).
