A Maytag dishwasher in North Canton wasn’t spraying water or operating properly through the different cycles. Our diagnosis revealed the wash pump had failed, which prevented the unit from circulating water during wash cycles.
The Problem
The customer reported their dishwasher was not spraying water or operating properly through the different cycles. This meant dishes weren’t getting clean and the dishwasher couldn’t complete its normal wash functions.
Diagnosis
Testing revealed the wash pump had failed. This motor-pump assembly is responsible for circulating water through the spray arms during wash and rinse cycles. When it fails, the dishwasher can’t spray water effectively, leaving dishes dirty and cycles incomplete.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10815709 — motor-pump assembly
- Work performed: Replaced the failed wash pump
- Result: The dishwasher is operating correctly
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag dishwashers are generally well-built appliances that can provide years of reliable service when properly maintained. A wash pump replacement on a unit this age is typically a worthwhile repair, as the dishwasher should continue operating effectively for years to come.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Dishwashers
- Clean the filter at the bottom of the tub monthly to prevent debris from reaching the wash pump
- Run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting a cycle to ensure optimal wash temperature
- Use rinse aid to improve drying performance and prevent water spots on dishes
