Cove Dishwasher Repair & Maintenance

Cove Dishwasher Maintenance

Prevention is the best cure, and regular maintenance of your Cove dishwasher can extend its longevity, reduce operating costs, and help avoid costly repairs down the road. Below are a few easy Cove dishwasher maintenance tips:

• Make sure the dishwasher is installed properly according to manufacturer instructions.
• Make sure the dishwasher is plugged into a grounded outlet or wired direct. Check that the main socket carries an high enough rating to handle the operating needs of your Cove dishwasher.
• Make sure the dishwasher is level to prevent leaking.
• Only use dish detergent designed specifically for dishwasher use.
• Check your water to prevent foul odors.
• Check for cracks or deterioration in the gaskets.
• Check the sprayer arm for clogs. Remove any obstructions and clean the arm regularly.
• Inspect and clean screens and filters according to manufacturer instructions.
• Set your water heater to 130 degrees Fahrenheit and run hot water prior to running your dishwasher. This reduces the time and energy it takes to heat the water.
• Run full loads to save energy and prolong the life of your dishwasher. Full loads and partial loads use the same amount of water.
• Avoid using the delay cycle, which fills the dishwasher with cold water and prolongs the time and energy required to reheat the water.

Cove Dishwasher Repair

Many symptoms may point to a broken or faulty dishwasher. If you notice any of the issues below, it may be time to schedule a Cove maintenance appointment:

• Noise: Rattling, creaking, grinding, and other unusual noises are often caused by faulty pump housing, motor bushings, or washer arm bearing.
• Leaking: Leaking is often caused by worn pump or door seals or a failing water inlet valve.
• Failure to start: An unresponsive dishwasher may stem from faulty door latch switches, timers, fuses, motor relays, or electronic controls.
• Poor cleaning: If your dishes are still dirty after washing, there may be an issue with the gaskets, spray arms, or water delivery systems.
• Failure to drain: Timer, drain pump, and drain hose issues can prevent your dishwasher from draining properly.
• Failure to fill with water: A faulty inlet valve, float switch, or door switch can prevent your dishwasher from filling with water.
• Failure to dispense detergent: A faulty bi-metal release, wax motor, or timer can prevent your dishwasher from dispensing detergent.
• Failure to dry dishes: If your dishes are still wet after running the dry cycle, there may be an issue with the heating elements, thermostat, or rinse aid dispenser.
