Common dishwasher faults repaired in County Durham
Not heating up
Element or igniter failure is one of the most common dishwasher faults. Usually a straightforward repair with a genuine replacement part.
Temperature wrong
If your dishwasher runs too hot, too cold, or inconsistently, it’s often a thermostat or temperature sensor fault.
Fan not working
A noisy or non-working fan motor affects heat distribution. Fan replacement is typically a same-visit repair.
Door won't close or seal
A door that won’t seal properly wastes energy and ruins cooking. Seal, hinge, and glass replacements all available.
Tripping the electrics
An dishwasher that trips the fuse box usually has an earth fault or failing element. Needs prompt attention from a qualified engineer.
Error codes on display
Error codes often point to a specific component fault. Engineers carry diagnostic tools and common parts for most brands.
Gas ignition / gas smell
Gas Safe registered engineers cover ignition failure, thermocouple faults, and burner issues. Always report gas smells immediately.
Won't turn on
Could indicate a control board, fuse, or wiring fault. Engineers diagnose the root cause rather than just resetting.
