Why Prompt Dishwasher Repair Matters
A leaking dishwasher can cause serious kitchen damage quickly. Water escaping from a door gasket or loose hose seeps under flooring, warps cabinet bases, and creates conditions for mould growth — repairs that cost many times the original appliance fix. Even a dishwasher that "mostly works" but doesn't clean properly can leave harmful bacteria on dishes, posing a real health risk for your household.
There's also the time cost: washing dishes by hand for a family takes 30–60 minutes per day. Over a week that's several hours of your time. Prompt repair gets you back to the convenience you rely on and protects your kitchen from water damage that a slow leak will inevitably cause.

Dishwasher Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance prevents the most common dishwasher failures and keeps your dishes sparkling clean. Here's what our technicians recommend:
- Clean the filter monthly — most modern dishwashers have a removable filter at the bottom of the tub. A clogged filter is the #1 cause of poor cleaning performance and drainage issues.
- Run hot water at the sink first — before starting a cycle, run your kitchen tap until it's hot. This ensures the dishwasher fills with hot water from the start rather than cold water that must be heated inside the machine.
- Use rinse aid consistently — rinse aid reduces water spots and dramatically improves drying performance, especially with BC's hard municipal water.
- Wipe the door gasket weekly — food debris and grease accumulate on the rubber door seal, causing leaks and mould over time. A quick wipe with a damp cloth prevents seal deterioration.
- Scrape plates, don't pre-rinse — modern dishwashers are designed to handle food residue. Pre-rinsing wastes water and actually makes detergent less effective by giving it nothing to bind to.
