Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes? Same-Day Dishwasher Repair in Ottawa & Gatineau
Dishes coming out gritty or still dirty is usually a clogged spray arm, a worn wash pump, or a blocked filter — not a machine you need to replace. B&M provides same-day dishwasher repair across Ottawa & Gatineau, TSSA-certified and factory-authorized since 1995.

Common causes of a dishwasher that is not cleaning
- Clogged spray arms. Food and mineral buildup block the spray-arm holes so water cannot reach the dishes.
- Dirty or blocked filter. A clogged filter recirculates dirty water and leaves residue on dishes.
- Worn wash pump or motor. A failing pump cannot push water hard enough to clean properly.
- Faulty water inlet valve. A weak inlet valve lets too little water in, so the cycle cannot clean.
- Hard water or wrong detergent. Mineral scale and the wrong detergent or rinse aid reduce cleaning performance.
How B&M fixes it
We check the spray arms, filter, wash pump, inlet valve, and water temperature to find why it is not cleaning, clear or replace the faulty part, and run a cycle to confirm clean results. Pumps, valves, and spray parts are stocked on the van for same-day repairs.
