Maytag dishwasher not cleaning dishes is one of the most common service calls we see in Winnipeg.

The dishwasher may fill, drain, and finish the cycle normally, but plates and glasses still come out dirty. When a dishwasher runs but doesn’t wash properly, the problem is often hidden in the wash system - especially when there are no error codes and the unit sounds like it’s working.
In this case, a Maytag dishwasher was not washing dishes effectively. A professional diagnostic confirmed a failed circulation pump. The circulation pump is responsible for building the water pressure that drives the spray arms and distributes hot water and detergent through the tub. When the pump is weak or defective, spray performance drops, water circulation becomes poor, and cleaning results get worse over time.
The circulation pump was replaced successfully and the dishwasher was tested through a complete wash cycle to confirm proper pressure and strong spray action. After the repair, water circulation was restored and the dishwasher returned to normal cleaning performance.
If your Maytag dishwasher is running but not cleaning, leaving residue, or producing weak spray, accurate diagnostics are the key to a reliable repair. Appliance Fix Lab provides professional dishwasher repair in Winnipeg, including circulation pump diagnosis and replacement, spray system troubleshooting, and full functional testing.
