Dishwasher Notes for This Area
Townhouse and condo kitchens across Reston, from the 1960s clusters near Lake Anne to the newer buildings at Reston Town Center, generally have one standard 24-inch dishwasher beside the sink. The sink and dishwasher often share a drain, sometimes through a disposer, so a clog in either can push water back into the dishwasher. If the tub holds water after a cycle, clean the filter under the lower arm and run the disposer. A dishwasher that won't start with the door closed and its lights on often has a failed door latch switch.
Tracking down dishwasher faults in townhouses and high-rise condos
In a townhouse the dishwasher usually sits on the main level over a family room or garage, so a slow leak can show as a ceiling stain below before anyone sees a puddle. We check the door gasket, the tub seams, the pump and its seal, the inlet valve fitting and the drain connection under the sink. A dishwasher that won't drain usually has a clogged filter or a drain hose kinked behind the tub, and we clear those before condemning the pump.
Booking dishwasher repair in Reston
In a townhouse with upstairs laundry, tell us which floor it's on and whether the washer is stacked. If your cluster or condo association asks outside vendors for paperwork before water-related work, let us know before the visit.
Where to find the model number: Open the door and check the top or side edge of the door, or the frame of the tub. With the model number in hand, we can often line up parts before the visit.

Dishwasher Repair: Your Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
Often. First make sure the shutoff under the sink is fully open and the door latches, since most dishwashers won't fill unlatched. If both are fine, the inlet valve or its screen, a float switch stuck in the up position, or the control is the cause, and we test them in that order.

Dishwasher Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
Reston was planned around village centers, starting with Lake Anne, and its housing mixes cluster townhouses, condos (high-rises among them), apartments and single-family houses, from the 1960s and 1970s through new buildings near its two Silver Line stations. Heron House at Lake Anne was its first high-rise condo. In the south, townhouse clusters line the shores of Lake Thoreau and Lake Audubon.
