Diagnosis before parts
We inspect installation and drainage, confirm fill and circulation, check for leaks and verify whether the control is permitting heat before condemning a heater.
Possible causes
- Filter, hose or disposer connection restriction; for a disposal that hums, jams or leaks, see garbage disposal repair
- Drain pump or circulation problem
- Door latch, float or inlet fault
- Heater, high-limit or control-permission issue
- Spray arm or detergent-delivery problem
