After an epic meal, the last thing you want to do is clean up—especially if you hosted. You already spent hours slaving away at the stove, setting the table and even picked up some Tupperware for guests to take home seconds. You dominated when it came to playing party host, and now it’s time to kick back and relax. Or is it? Your dishwasher is like a live-in maid (but without awkward silences and forced conversation). When it decides to take unpaid leave, you’re the one stuck holding the detergent.

Most folks in Provo, UT, don’t realize how much they rely on their dishwasher until it’s not working. Whether it’s totally stopped pulling its weight or it leaves food particles after a cycle, you, your guests and your dishes deserve better. Do you find yourself basically having to wash your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Could your toddler do a better job of leaving glasses sparkling?

There’s no reason you have to have dishpan hands. Peter’s Appliance has a team of dishwasher technicians who can whip your appliance back into shape.

Leave Clean Up to Us

There are many issues that can pop up with a dishwasher. Perhaps the heating element is faulty—or maybe your detergent is damp. Some areas in Utah are prone to hard water, which can lead to limescale deposits. Adjusting the rinse aid can help with this, as can an anti-corrosion protection treatment. Draining problems can happen when hoses are kinked or the hose isn’t properly angled above the enclosure floor.

Sometimes what seems to be dishwasher problems are actually kitchen sink issues, such as clogging. Dirty filters can lead to poor cleaning (a tell tale sign is a foul odor), and just like any complex machine there can be wiring or motor problems. The best way to keep your dishwasher in solid working condition is with routine maintenance. However, at Peter’s Appliance we know that sometimes emergencies “just happen.”

Reclaim Your Kitchen

For a few days, it might feel quaint to wash all your dishes by hand. However, that extra chore is going to become draining quickly. Oftentimes, dishwasher repairs are fast and cost-effective. A small, worn out part or a quick fix can make the difference between dirty and sparkling dishes. There’s no need to pick up a stack of paper plates and re-live your college years when Peter’s Appliance is on your side.
