REPAIR OR REPLACE?
IS YOUR DISHWASHER WORTH REPAIRING?
Most dishwasher problems are very fixable and far cheaper than replacement plus installation. Poor cleaning is frequently a spray-arm or filter issue; drainage problems are often a pump or hose clog. If your machine is under 10 years old, repair is usually the right call — and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't.
KEEP IT RUNNING
DISHWASHER CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS
Clean the filter monthly
A clogged bottom filter is the top cause of poor cleaning and odor.
Run hot water first
Run your sink hot before starting so the cycle begins with hot water.
Wipe the door gasket
Keep the seal clean to prevent leaks and mildew.
Use a dishwasher cleaner
Run a cleaning product monthly to clear grease and hard-water buildup.
QUESTIONS
DISHWASHER REPAIR FAQS
Why isn't my dishwasher cleaning well?
Most often it's a clogged filter or spray arm, or a worn pump. We diagnose the exact cause and fix it.
Do you repair high-end dishwashers like Bosch and Miele?
Yes — we service major and high-end brands including Bosch, Miele, Thermador, Viking, and Fisher & Paykel.
There's water left in the bottom — is that bad?
A little is normal; a full pool of water usually means a drain clog or pump issue we can fix.
How much does dishwasher repair cost?
An $85 diagnosis, waived when you approve the repair, then an upfront price before any work starts.
