Common White-Westinghouse dishwasher repairs
Even dependable dishwashers need a little maintenance now and then. When yours isn’t performing like it used to, these common repairs can help you get it back in shape.
Dishwasher won’t fill
If your dishwasher isn’t getting enough water, you may need to swap out the water inlet valve so the tub fills properly during each cycle.
Dishwasher not cleaning well
Poor spray pressure or water flow could mean the pump has failed. In that case, you might have to replace the circulation pump and motor assembly to restore performance.
Dishwasher overfills or never fills
If the tub overfills or stays empty, the float switch may be stuck or defective. You can install a new overfill float switch to fix the issue.

White-Westinghouse dishwasher FAQs
How do I get a spotless finish on glassware?
Hard water minerals cause most spots and streaks. Use a rinse aid, run a hot water cycle, and avoid overloading so spray arms can reach all surfaces.
Why is my dishwasher making loud noises?
Grinding or rattling sounds may come from worn pump bearings, a failing motor, or loose spray arms. Remove foreign objects and replace worn components to quiet operation.
How can I stop water from leaking from my dishwasher?
Leaks often come from a worn door gasket or loose connections on the inlet hose. Replacing the gasket and tightening fittings usually resolves the problem.
Check the heating element, use a rinse aid, and open the door slightly after the cycle to let steam escape. Proper loading also prevents water from collecting on dishes.
How can I help my dishwasher last longer?
Clean the filter regularly, check spray arms for clogs, and replace worn seals or gaskets before they cause bigger issues.
