Dishwashers are one of the most cost-effective appliances to repair. Here’s when it makes sense.
We inspect the wash pump, drain pump, spray arms, inlet valve, door latch, gasket, heating element, and control board. We run a diagnostic cycle to isolate the failing component.
We write the estimate on the spot and keep pumps, inlet valves, gaskets, and spray arms in stock. Bosch, Miele, and other premium brand parts ship next business day.
After repair, we run a complete wash cycle and check for leaks, full drainage, water temperature, and spray arm rotation. The repair comes with our 180-day warranty.
Diagnostic $80, applied to the repair. Repairs from $250.

You choose based on budget, warranty preference, and how long you plan to keep the appliance.
