Ace Plumbing & Rooter
He established that it was from the dishwasher. However he wasn't able to move the dishwasher but didn't charge us for the service call.

LP Appliances Services
My appointment went very well. The tech checked out the dishwasher and said that the main circuit board was dead and the best thing to do is replace the dishwasher. I appreciated his honesty and would definitely call them again

Worked good while repairman still here but broke immediately after he left so I immediately phoned and he returned and refixed, showing me that one of the new parts (plastic made in China) had broken, and he replaced one of the old parts. Prior to again running dishwasher, the bottom of dishwasher filled with water which leaked to kitchen floor. I bailed out the water from the dishwasher, and under the sink turned off the water to the dishwasher. I am now washing dishes by hand and will get a new dishwasher when the COVID-19 turmoil is over.

Superior Appliance Service
He reinstalled a dishwasher that had been removed during a re-flooring job in our new house. He turned the dishwasher on and ran it to ensure the connections were working, and that the dishwasher was draining. Very professional, very polite, prompt service, easy to schedule. I would hire him again.

Jp Appliance Repair
Purchased a new dishwasher, needed someone to remove the old dishwasher and install the new one. Contacted JP Appliance Repair, was quickly given a quote which I felt was a fair price for the work. The installation team arrived on-time, did a superior job performing the de-install and install. They left the work area neat/clean. Will call again if I need any help with my appliances. Thank you, guys!

Norway Appliance
John Aiken was early, professional, fast and surprisingly inexpensive. $35 for the service call and $10 to fix the problem. Even fixed the seal on my refrigerator while waiting for the dishwasher to cycle through to make sure it was fixed. Offered to work on anything else while he waited for the dishwasher to cycle. Offered advice on dishwasher detergent, use of the dishwasher, and the electric starter on my gas stove. Very personable, obviously enjoys his work and enjoys helping people. The experience having him fix the dishwasher was a very positive experience contrary to my experience with most repair people. Will recommend him to all my friends.

He was prompt and professional. The problem was solved very quickly. He gave us a bottle of cleaner for the dishwasher, because that was the problem. It was clogged with food in the bottom. He also gave us some dishwasher detergent samples.

Silicon Valley Appliance Service And Repair LLC
Problem promptly solved. Johe cleaned out the discharge hose that runs from the dishwasher to the device on the rim of the sink, and another hose from the device on the rim of the sink to the disposal. There was nothing wrong with the dishwasher itself. He recommended throwing half a cup of vinegar into the dishwasher once a week or so to prevent plugging in the future. Johe was prompt, friendly, clean, knowledgeable, efficient, and well equipped with tools.

Found leak and cause. Replaced gasket, but leak continued. Cause turned out to be failure of drying fan motor. Unfortunately the motor is no longer made. Dishwasher was old and needs replacement. Technician was very good. He came out twice and charged only a single discounted service charge.
- Clifford G.
LP Appliances Services
The dishwasher would not drain. I called LP yesterday, and he promptly came out today--right on time. He had the problem diagnosed in about 5 minutes, and had the repair finished in about 45 minutes. He also cleaned out the drain line from the dishwasher to the sink. He was very neat, using a towel in front of the dishwasher so as to not leave any water. A very pleasant person, and the price was right.

Cool Kat Appliance Repair
I am buying a new dishwasher, so even though I did not have Mike do any repairs on the dishwasher, I would call him again. He was very helpful and responsive. He billed me and I appreciated that because it was at a rental and I was not there to pay. He was very accommodating to the renters schedule for getting the dishwasher looked at.

LP Appliances Services
Luan is AMAZING. He heard out my problem, and showed up very quickly. There was a leak under my dishwasher which the last two overpriced technicians I had gotten off of Craigslist hadn't solved. He gave a very reasonable quote, and then got to work. Within 1.5 hours, he had found the problem (mice had chewed through the pipe) and fixed it. Very honest and helpful person who knows what he's doing, puts in the hard work, and commits to quality. Such service providers are hard to find, and I have him saved on my contacts for sure.

Good job repairing the dishwasher. However, a cable to garbage disposal was knocked loose. Didn’t show up the next day, but fixed it the following day.

Delta Appliance & Refrigeration Repair
Javier called and arrived earlier than expected, which was fine with me. He was very professional and skilled at his job. He unclogged my unit and after some conversation we parted ways. Good guy, good company, fair prices. Would recommend.
- Noel M.
Steve's Appliance Service
Steve was fabulous. He asked all the right questions over the phone, came out promptly the same day, quickly identified and remedied the problem. In another incident he consulted with me over the phone about a dishwasher problem. He was patient and thorough, helping me determine that the dishwasher did not in fact need repair.

Sears Home Services
Recent Review: It took two visits for Sears to repair our dishwasher. On the first visit, they found the problem and explained the cost of the part and the repair. They were able to come back and repair the dishwasher about a week later, and the dishwasher has worked just fine since.
For anyone who has to start hand washing, rinsing and drying dishes, a working dishwasher is a treasure. When yours acts up, act quickly to find local, reliable dishwasher repair.
What are the most common issues leading to dishwasher repair?
Leaks are the #1 problem in failing dishwashers. Leaks can occur in the hoses routing water to and from the dishwasher. Generally the hoses themselves do not fail, but their connections do. Common: the rubber gasket inside the hose end.
Rarely, a failed door gasket —the rubber seal around the door — will allow water to seep or spray out around the door, possibly ruining a kitchen floor.
Other frequently encountered issues that probably justify a repair call:
- Dishes do not clean
- Dishwasher does not fill with water
- Dishwasher will not start
- Dishwasher does not drain
- Door latch fails
- Unusual or new noises coming from dishwasher
If your dishwasher does not drain, check the filter to ensure it is not clogged with food debris or plastic. Almost all other operating problems encountered with dishwashers are beyond the typical homeowner's ability to repair.
What parts typically fail?
A dishwasher is a remarkably robust assembly of electrical and water-related parts.
SFGate pegs the average life span at 12 years, but some high-wear parts can fail far sooner.
Important parts that fail and can be replaced efficiently:
- Door latch or seal
- Drain pump or fill valve
- Pressure switch
- Soap dispenser
Costs for these parts are also modest, with short repair times.
How much should dishwasher repair near me cost?
The national average for dishwasher repair is $159, with companies charging between $75 and $150 per hour.
If you receive a repair estimate of around $500, consider getting a new dishwasher rather than spending money on repairing the old model.
Angie's List recommends being as specific as possible when calling a repair service. Give the brand name and model number; identify symptoms but avoid diagnosing the repair needed.
One the repair technician is on site, do not authorize repairs without an initial estimate. If the cost is too high, pay the time charge and decline the repair.
You may seek three repair estimates, but the cost to the household in inconvenience (by delaying for the estimates) may not be worth the money saved. Use a local, reliable appliance repair service and ask to see the old parts the technician says were replaced.
