Dishwasher Repair
Not draining, not cleaning, or leaking onto the kitchen floor — back to spotless dishes, not standing water.
A dishwasher that leaves dishes dirty or won't drain is almost always one specific part — a clogged filter, a failed pump, or a stuck float switch. We find it and show you before replacing anything.
Typical repair range: $100–$360 · Covers most drain pump, spray arm, float switch, and control board repairs.

FAQ
Dishwasher Repair questions, answered
Why is there always water sitting in the bottom of my dishwasher?
Almost always a clogged drain filter or a failing drain pump. It's one of the most common calls we get and usually a same-visit fix.
My dishes come out with a cloudy film — is that a machine problem?
Sometimes — a failing spray arm, a bad water inlet valve, or hard water buildup in the heating element can all cause it. We'll check the machine first since a simple fix is often cheaper than switching detergents forever.
Is a leaking dishwasher urgent?
Yes — leaks near the cabinet base or flooring can cause water damage fast. We prioritize active-leak calls.
Do you service built-in and drawer-style dishwashers?
Yes, standard built-in units and dual dishwasher drawers from all major brands.
What usually causes a dishwasher not to start?
A door latch/switch that isn't engaging fully, a tripped control board, or occasionally a household outlet/breaker issue we'll check as part of the visit.
How long does a dishwasher repair typically take?
Most are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit, usually under 90 minutes once the part is identified.
