Older bungalows were not drawn with a dishwasher in mind, so many have one added in a cut-down cabinet with the drain tied into original plumbing. Hard water and old galvanized or cast-iron drain lines both slow things down, and it pays to know which one is the cause before replacing a pump. ## What Pasadena does to a dishwasher. Pasadena Water and Power pumps about 40 percent of the city's supply from the Raymond Groundwater Basin through 10 deep wells. The other 60 percent or so is imported from the Metropolitan Water District. PWP gives the average hardness as 12.9 grains per gallon and calls the city's water very hard. Bungalow Heaven holds about 800 small Craftsman homes built from 1900 to 1930, and much of it became a landmark district in 1989. [All of Los Angeles](https://dishwasherrepair.center/locations/los-angeles/) ### Older housing stock Older houses were never plumbed for dishwashers. The one here was added later, often draining into a sink trap and an old galvanized or cast iron line that narrows with age, so a slow drain can live in the house as easily as in the machine. ### Mixed housing Older dishwashers here tend to have mechanical timers and simpler parts that are still worth fixing, while newer ones rely on sensors and electronic controls, so the diagnosis changes from one door to the next. ### Family houses In a busy household nobody notices a gradual change until it becomes a problem: glasses turning cloudy, a cycle getting longer, water left in the bottom. Catching those signs early usually keeps the repair small. ## A visit in Pasadena. Four steps from the call to a working dishwasher in Pasadena, Los Angeles County.
