Doesn’t it amaze you how much we seem to take dishwashers, washing machines and other appliances for granted until something goes wrong with them? I guess it’s a good thing we have folks like you to help us out with fixing said appliances when something does go wrong with them. I was able to fix my mom’s washing machine with the help of your videos, so my hat’s off to you.

How the check ball works is actually a little complicated to explain in a KZitem comment. It has to do with the flow of water pushing the ball up and down a ramp, with the outlet port for the lower wash arms at the bottom of the ramp and the outlet port for the upper wash arms at the top. The timing of the water shutting off and starting again determines where the check ball is resting and which outlet port is blocked.

Thanks for the comment! Some dishwashers actually do have an added feature that allows for extra rinses. You could also install a water softener to your house water supply. This would improve your dishwasher's performance and would cut back on the amount of soap or detergent needed. There are many benefits to this besides improved dishwasher performance as well.

Hey RepairClinic, My dishwasher is no longer working, When i turn it on, it sounds like its trying to filling with water, but im not sure if it actually is, i cant visibly see water in the bottom, and theres still the dirt and particles on the bottom, if i wait for a minute or so, it goes to what seems would be the rinse cycle, but the only thing it does is make the whirring sound of the motor, no water shooting up or anything. Im going to try what was mentioned in this video about filling it up manually and try it again, I just wanted to get in touch and see if you have any tips. Thanks a bunch. Can't afford a new dishwasher and I just spent $45 on maintenance parts for this one.

That is really an excellent Idea, but the heat generated during drying process is infact transferred to the items to be washed (thermal equilibrium) so in reality there is no energy wasted in the process of heat transfer.

Our Fisher & Paykel dishwasher has all of a sudden started tripping the outlet RCD breaker today, after using it once in a long time, causing every single outlet in the house to lose power. Ran a full cycle with eco mode turned off. Was 97 minutes before it started, but 19 minutes remaining at the time of fault. After turning the breaker back on, I notice, the dishwasher drains fine, fills up and washes fine, the fault happens just right after that. Right now I have no idea what could be causing this. Any suggestions are helpful.

Another thing that wasn't mentioned is the hard food disposer. I know that many dishwasher manufacturers have done away with this feature to reduce noise. Many dishwashers now rely on just a filter, that needs to be manually cleaned. But many dishwashers currently on the market, including the Frigidaire model shown in the video, do still contain food disposers.

You should not remove any water, my instructions clearly say you need to just pour the salt in and it will displace the water (Salt will sink to the bottom and water will pour out of the container). But that is ok since water will just drain through the filter and during next washing it will be drined out.

I enjoyed your video showing how a dishwasher works. However; your "diagnostic" presentation is lacking in continuity! At the outset, it was asking: " what are the symptoms experienced?" I clicked on "dishes are not being dried. I was apprised that perhaps my heating element might be the fault...so far that would be a viable solution. It went on to explain how the part might be tested for continuity, etc. Of course I already knew that! I've already replaced the heater element...and the "high limit thermostat". What your "diagnostic help" program should have offered is a simple: 'if that didn't fix your problem; test your high limit thermostat....and then it should have inquired: "did that solve your problem?" Your well meaning program needs to be "tweaked"; shucks; I could have presented a more cogent, helpful analysis than that! Wes Hill

***** Thanks...I did check it out and it is more helpful...I've replaced the "heating element", the "high limit thermostat"; and I have done a "continuity check" on both. The heating element was obviously defective since there was no continuity...I also did a similar check on the existing "high limit thermostat"; I found there to be continuity...so; is that good or bad? Should it be "normally on, or normally off?" I think there might be another possibility that I have yet to test....please advise me further.
