Dishwasher Repair

Dishwasher repair across San Diego.

Dishwashers fail in predictable ways: won't drain, won't fill, won't clean, or leaks onto the floor. We repair every major brand with parts on the truck for the most-failed components: drain pumps, circulation motors, inlet valves, and control boards. Most repairs complete in one visit.

What do homeowners ask about Dishwasher Repair?

Why does my dishwasher have standing water?

Three common causes: clogged drain hose, failed drain pump, or a clogged garbage disposal knockout plug. We clear the drain line first (free during diagnostic), then test the pump under load. Most standing-water calls are under $220 total.

My dishes aren't getting clean. What's wrong?

Usually the wash arms are clogged with food debris or the circulation motor is weak. We remove the arms, flush the spray jets, and test motor output. Sometimes it's as simple as a failed detergent-cup spring. We diagnose the actual cause rather than guess.

Is it worth repairing an old dishwasher?

Dishwashers last 8–12 years on average. If the repair is under $300 on a unit under 8 years old, repair wins. High-end brands like Bosch, Miele, and KitchenAid are almost always worth repairing.

Do you work on high-end brands?

Yes. Bosch, Miele, KitchenAid, Thermador, Viking, and Fisher & Paykel are all part of regular service. Miele parts sometimes take 3–5 days to arrive; we schedule return visits when parts confirm.

My new dishwasher installed by a big-box store is leaking. Can you help?

Yes. We see this often — poor installs leak at the inlet, at the drain hose connection, or under the unit if the water shield wasn't installed correctly. We'll diagnose and fix at a flat rate.

Homeowners who hired us for this

Our freezer died on a Thursday morning with a full load of meat. Called at 9, they were at the house by 1, diagnosed a failed evaporator fan, and had it fixed in under an hour. Flat-rate quote up front, no upsell.

Front-loader kept stopping mid-cycle with an error code. Previous company wanted to replace the entire control board for $650. Repair Pro diagnosed a $180 drain pump and a partial clog. Working perfect again.

Dryer took two cycles to finish every load. Tech walked in, knew immediately to check the vent line, cleaned 15 feet of lint out of the wall run. Saved me from buying a new dryer. Also spotted a brittle vent hose and replaced it.
