When your dishwasher overflows, it hits you with an unpleasant double whammy. You’ve got to make time to deal with the mess. And you’ve got to figure out a repair. But don’t worry, Express Repair is here to help you with that repair! Here are a few causes of dishwasher overflow:
- Dishwasher detergent: there are 2 causes from dishwasher detergent that could be causing the problem. The first one is that you have used too much detergent so the suds overflow onto the floor. The second one is that you are using inadequate detergent.
- Door gasket is worn: if your door gasket is worn or damaged, this can cause water to leak out of the dishwasher.
- Faulty water inlet valve: the inlet valve is what delivers the water to your dishwasher. If this inlet valve is not working correctly, it can cause the dishwasher to overflow.
- Broken float assembly or switch: The float is what signals the float switch to turn the water off when it fills enough. If the float or the switch is not working, this will cause your dishwasher to overflow.
