Dishwasher Spray Arm Splits – Issue Causes Leak
At Assure Services, we understand how frustrating it can be when your dishwasher malfunctions, especially when it starts leaking water. A common cause of leaks in dishwashers is a split spray arm. The spray arm is responsible for distributing water evenly across your dishes, and when it cracks or splits, it can lead to inefficient cleaning and, more importantly, water leaks.
Our Recent Project: Spray Arm Split & Leak Repair
In a recent repair, we were called to a client’s home after they noticed water leaking from their dishwasher during cycles. Upon inspection, we discovered that the spray arm had a split, which was causing water to escape from the appliance, leading to puddles on the kitchen floor.
What We Did:
Inspection: We carefully examined the dishwasher’s spray arm and identified the split that was causing the leak. This issue was also affecting the efficiency of the cleaning process, as water wasn’t being properly distributed to all areas of the dishwasher.
Spray Arm Replacement: We replaced the damaged spray arm with a high-quality, compatible part. This ensured that the dishwasher would properly distribute water, prevent leaks, and provide optimal cleaning performance.
Leak Prevention: After replacing the spray arm, we ran several test cycles to ensure that no water was leaking. We also checked other parts of the dishwasher for potential issues to prevent future leaks.
Outcome:
The dishwasher was fully functional again, with no more leaks and restored cleaning performance. The customer was relieved to have their appliance back in action and no longer had to deal with water damage in their kitchen.
Why Fixing a Split Spray Arm is Important:
- Prevent Water Damage: A leaking dishwasher can lead to significant water damage in your kitchen, so it’s important to address the issue as soon as possible.
- Ensure Proper Cleaning: A split spray arm reduces the effectiveness of your dishwasher, meaning dishes may not be cleaned properly, even after a full cycle.
- Cost-Effective Repair: Replacing the spray arm is a relatively simple and affordable fix compared to the cost of replacing the entire dishwasher.
