Effective repair services for common Magic Chef dishwasher failures

Get in touch with our dishwasher repair experts at Sears Home Services when you need your dishwasher fixed or maintained. Our technicians will work to diagnose your Magic Chef dishwasher issue, recommend options for maintenance, troubleshoot common issues, and make repairs fast.

Magic Chef dishwasher not draining

When you see standing water under your dishwasher, it may be due to food and sentiment clogs in the filter, backup in the garbage disposal, issues with the drain hose or drain pump, or a clogged air gap. The knowledgeable experts at Sears Home Services can help find the blockage and clear any debris.

Dishes not getting clean in the dishwasher

When it seems like your dishes aren't getting as clean as they used to, it's probably time to do a deep clean to cleanse the interior and unclog the jets. Start by running your Magic Chef dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar inside to loosen the debris as it steams and circulates.

If you're still having trouble with dishes getting clean after cleaning the inside of the dishwasher, the experts at Sears Home Services can take a closer look at the jets and waterways to get your dishwasher circulating and cleaning as expected.

Dishwasher leaking water

Any aging dishwasher can experience water leaks from a variety of sources. You may notice leaks around the seals, from beneath the appliance, or from any lines leading to or from the back of the unit.

A leaking dishwasher can lead to flooding that damages cabinetry, drywall, and flooring. If you suspect that your Magic Chef dishwasher needs maintenance or repair, turn off the water to the appliance, and avoid running it until you have it serviced.

Dishwasher won’t start

When you have trouble starting your dishwasher, it may just need a hard reset. Unplug the dishwasher for a short period of time then plug the power cord back in to restore power. If the dishwasher won’t start after resetting the control board, call the experts at Sears Home Services for repair.

Preventative dishwasher maintenance

Scheduling regular professional maintenance service on your Magic Chef dishwasher helps ensure that it will work effectively and efficiently over time. Routine dishwasher cleaning and maintenance can also prevent costly, unexpected repair needs.
