Dishwasher symptoms and their usual causes
Use this as a guide. Our technician confirms the actual fault with proper tests before quoting.
| What you notice | Usual cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Water left in the tub | Blocked filter or sump, kinked hose, drain pump fault | Clear the drain path, test and replace the pump if needed |
| Dishes not clean | Blocked spray arms, weak wash pump, scale build-up | Clean arms and filters, descale, repair or replace the circulation pump |
| Leaking onto the floor | Door seal, hose clamps, pump seal, overfilling | Replace the seal or hose, check the inlet valve and float switch |
| Not filling with water | Closed or blocked supply, inlet valve, flood protection | Clear the inlet filter, replace the valve, reset the flood protection |
| Not heating or drying | Heating element, heat pump or thermistor, rinse aid | Test and replace the heater or sensor |
| Won’t start or stops mid-cycle | Door latch, control board, error lockout | Read the error, repair the latch or controls |
Limescale and Dubai dishwashers
Depending on your building’s supply and tank, tap water in Dubai can leave mineral deposits over time. In a dishwasher, scale coats the heating element so it heats slowly, narrows spray-arm jets, and leaves a cloudy film on glassware.
When we repair a dishwasher, we also check for scale and tell you if a descale or a different water hardness setting would help it last longer.
Simple habits that prevent repairs
- Clean the bottom filter every week or two.
- Scrape (don’t rinse) plates so detergent has something to work on.
- Keep dishwasher salt and rinse aid topped up.
- Run a hot empty cycle with machine cleaner once a month.
- Run the kitchen tap until hot before starting a cycle.

Dishwasher repair FAQs
Why is there water left in the bottom of my dishwasher?
Start with the filter in the base of the tub: food debris often blocks it. If it’s clean, the drain hose may be kinked behind the unit, the sink trap or waste connection may be blocked, or the drain pump has failed. Persistent standing water needs a technician.
Why are my dishes still dirty after a cycle?
Blocked spray arm holes, a clogged filter, low water inflow, a weak circulation pump, or limescale build-up are the usual causes. Overloading and wrong detergent dosing also reduce results.
Does Dubai’s water affect dishwashers?
Dubai’s desalinated tap water varies by building and storage tank. Where scale builds up, it can coat heating elements, block spray arms and leave white film on glasses. Using dishwasher salt and rinse aid, and setting the water hardness on the machine, helps.
My dishwasher won’t dry. Is it broken?
Many modern dishwashers dry by condensation rather than a heater, so plastics stay wet. If glass and ceramics are also wet, check the rinse aid. If the rinse aid is full, the heating element, fan or sensor may have failed.
Can you repair integrated dishwashers?
Yes. We remove the unit from the cabinet run where needed, repair it, and refit it with the door panel aligned.
Should I run my dishwasher if it’s leaking?
No. Turn it off and close the water supply valve under the sink. Leaks can damage cabinets and flooring quickly. Call us and we’ll find whether it’s the door seal, a hose, the pump or the tub.
