Troubleshooting
If your dishwasher won’t drain and remains full of water at the end of a wash cycle, check out the Dishwasher Not Draining wiki for a list of solutions to try.
Background
A dishwasher is a mechanical device for cleaning dishes and eating-utensils. Dishwashers can be found in restaurants and private homes.
The mechanical dishwasher cleans by spraying hot water, typically between 55 and 75 °C (130 and 170 °F) at the dishes, with lower temperatures used for delicate items
Identification
The most common means of identifying your fridge is to classify it by type as listed below, and then look for a manufacturer's label on it. Model numbers from the label are critical to identification for exact parts matching and also for determining what features are provided on the unit.
Types
- Built-in: These dishwashers connect to a home plumbing system and are typically installed beneath kitchen countertops.
- Portable/freestanding: Instead of permanently connecting to a home plumbing system, these dishwashers are equipped with wheels for transport to use when needed.
- Drawer: This type of dishwasher has a compact design similar to a filing cabinet and contains two dishwashing drawers that can operate independently of one another.
- Countertop: These dishwashers are about the same size as a microwave and are designed to sit on a kitchen countertop.
- Integrated: These are similar in function to built-in dishwashers but are typically hidden behind a door or panel that blends in with the kitchen's decor.
- Commercial: These are industrial appliances capable of washing a high volume of dishes and are typically used in restaurants.
