If you go on vacation, over time of non-use, your dishwasher will lose its prime. That is to say that the water in the dishwasher water pump has dried out and requires priming for the pump to operate. Adding water to the bottom of the unit restores the prime and function of the dishwasher. Pumps do not require a prime in this application. Gravity provides the priming water by filling the collection chamber. More likely it is that the rubber seal has dried out and is stuck to the metal pump shaft, the water frees it by acting as lubrication.
Leaks from underneath: Water does not drain, is stopped up: There are a number of possible causes when the water does not drain, but most likely it is that the strainer is clogged. The strainer is located directly under the lower sprayer arm. When the strainer becomes clogged with food and detergent debris, the dishwasher may flood or overfill. On some dishwashers, the strainer is a plastic or metal component consisting of two semicircular halves.
Dishwasher has odor, smells: Again, there are a number of possible causes of odor in a dishwasher. First check that the seals are clean - we have serviced client who have had black (and smelly) mold on the seals. Next, ensure that the trap or strainer does not contain old & decaying food particles.
Supply line is leaking: Often over time, the supply line can crack with age and impact from material in the water itself. The supply line or the water inlet valve controls the amount of water flowing into the dishwasher. It may be activated by the timer or by a solenoid. If the dishwasher doesn't fill, test the solenoid with a volt-ohm-millimeter (VOM) set to the RX1 scale. Disconnect one electrical lead to the solenoid and clip one probe of the VOM to each solenoid terminal. If the meter reads from about 100 ohms to 1,000 ohms, the solenoid is functioning. If the reading is higher than 1,000, the solenoid is faulty and should be replaced. However badly worn or misshapen inlet valves cannot be repaired. If the valve is damaged, replace it with a new one made for the dishwasher. Tampa Bay Plumbers has several experts who can diagnose the pipe that is leaking, the underlying reason for the leak (perhaps a blockage) and repair the model.
