Open record Dishwashers · noiseDishwasher hums but does not wash
A brief hum can be a drain or inlet valve, but continuous humming without water movement can mean a blocked pump, closed supply or seized circulation motor.
Open record Dishwashers · wash qualityDishwasher leaves a white film on dishes
White film can be hard-water mineral, excess detergent or undissolved detergent—not necessarily food soil. Whether vinegar dissolves a sample helps distinguish mineral from etching, but follow material and manufacturer limits.
Open record Dishwashers · wash qualityDishwasher leaves gritty residue on glasses and dishes
Grit usually comes from a dirty or incorrectly seated filter, blocked spray arms, poor loading, low fill or detergent that did not dissolve.
Open record Dishwashers · detergentDishwasher pod remains stuck in the dispenser
A pod can stick when the cup is wet, the lid is blocked, water is too cool or spray cannot reach it after release.
Open record Dishwashers · racksDishwasher rack coating is chipped or rusting
Exposed metal under damaged rack coating can rust and stain the tub or dishes. Cleaning does not restore the protective coating.
Open record Dishwashers · drain plumbingDishwasher smells like sewage
Sewage odor indicates drain backflow, a missing high loop or air gap, a dry/blocked trap or household plumbing problem more than ordinary tub residue.
Open record Dishwashers · odorDishwasher smells like wet dog after a cycle
A wet-dog odor often develops from food residue in the filter, stagnant drain water, dirty seals or dishes drying slowly—not from a need for fragrance.
Open record Dishwashers · spray systemDishwasher top rack is not getting clean
Top-rack-only failure points to loading, a blocked upper spray arm, a disconnected rack water feed or insufficient circulation to that level.
Open record Washing machines · normal operationDoes a high-efficiency washer use too little water?
Many high-efficiency washers intentionally use load sensing and concentrated wash action, so the load may not sit under a visible waterline. Poor cleaning, dry items or a fill code—not appearance alone—signals a fault.
Open record Dryers · exhaustDryer airflow is weak even with a clean lint screen
A clean lint screen does not rule out a crushed transition hose, blocked long duct, stuck exterior flap or internal exhaust restriction.
Open record Dryers · airflowDryer clothes are hot but still damp
Hot, damp clothes point strongly to poor moisture removal: restricted exhaust, an overloaded mixed-fabric load or a sensor cycle ending incorrectly.
