In today’s busy and convenient world, the dishwasher is pretty important. When something happens with the dishwasher, chaos usually ensues as to who has to do the dishes until it’s fixed.

While the dishwasher is all powerful, it still needs to be operated properly. Shoving grease-laden plates into your dishwasher might lead to problems with your drain line. Perhaps your water supply line needs replacing?

Regardless, when it’s not doing what it’s supposed to be doing, you know right away.

Here are some things that may require you to repair your dishwasher or install a new one:

• Clogged supply line
• Kinked supply line
• Clogged drain line (be careful of the size of leftover food you’re leaving on your plates)
• Clogged sink drain
