Igor was great. Friendly, efficient, explained what he needed to do, did it, then showed us exactly what had gone wrong and what we needed to do in the future to make sure it didn’t happen again. Very positive experience.

Charged me $220 for 15 mins of labor. First the tech said $200 for the job but when he was done he said there is still parts and tax to add on. That should’ve been said beforehand. The tech replaced the door switch on my dryer.

*Update: Igor, the owner contacted me and was quick to rectified the issue, including a refund which I appreciate. For that reason I am changing the rating to 5 stars.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dishwasher Repair

1. Is it worth it to repair a dishwasher?

Whether repairing a dishwasher is worth it depends on several factors, including its age, the severity of the issue, and the overall condition. If your dishwasher is under 8-10 years old and the problem is minor—like a clogged filter, faulty door gasket, or issues with the spray arm—repairs can extend its life cost-effectively, often saving you from the expense of a full replacement. For example, in humid environments like San Francisco's coastal climate, where salt air can accelerate corrosion on parts such as heating elements, timely fixes prevent bigger problems like persistent leaks or mold buildup. However, if the unit is over 10-12 years old or faces major failures (e.g., a burned-out control panel or motor), replacement might be more economical, especially with energy-efficient modern models that handle common issues better. We recommend a professional diagnostic to weigh options—our certified technicians offer free inspections to help you decide.

2. What is the average cost to repair a dishwasher?

The average cost for dishwasher repairs can vary widely based on the issue, brand, and location, but it typically falls in the low to mid-hundreds of dollars range. Simple fixes, such as unclogging a drain pump or replacing a door seal, tend to be on the lower end, while more complex problems like electrical faults in the control board or heating element replacements push toward the higher side. Factors like parts availability (e.g., for brands like Bosch or LG) and labor in areas with high demand, such as San Francisco, can influence this. Always get a quote upfront—our transparent pricing includes a 1-year warranty on parts and labor for peace of mind.

3. What is the average lifespan of a dishwasher?

On average, a dishwasher lasts about 10 years, though this can range from 8 to 15 years depending on usage, maintenance, and quality. High-end brands like Miele may exceed 15 years with proper care, while budget models might wear out sooner. Frequent cycles (e.g., 5-7 times weekly) and environmental factors, such as San Francisco's high humidity and salt air causing corrosion on components like the drain pump or heating elements, can shorten lifespan to 8-12 years without regular upkeep. To maximize longevity, clean filters monthly, use rinse aid, and address issues like leaks early. If yours is approaching this age, consider our expert assessment for repair or upgrade recommendations.

4. What is the most common failure on a dishwasher?

The most common failure on a dishwasher is a clogged or dirty filter, which prevents proper water flow and leads to poor cleaning, residue on dishes, or incomplete draining. This often stems from food debris buildup, especially in models without self-cleaning features. Other frequent culprits include blockages in the drain hose or spray arms, causing issues like not draining or unclean dishes. In coastal areas like San Francisco, humidity can exacerbate mold in filters or corrosion in parts like the heating element. Regular maintenance—such as monthly filter cleaning—prevents this; if ignored, it can strain the pump or motor. Our technicians specialize in quick diagnostics for these common problems.

5. How to diagnose a dishwasher problem?

Diagnosing a dishwasher issue starts with basic checks: Ensure it's powered on (check circuit breaker and power cord), the door latches securely, and water supply is flowing. For common symptoms like not starting, listen for humming (indicating a possible stuck motor or thermal fuse); for leaks, inspect the door gasket and hoses. If dishes aren't clean, examine spray arms for clogs or residue buildup. For draining issues, check the filter and run a vinegar cycle to clear minor blockages. Use error codes on digital models (e.g., E24 for Bosch drain problems) via the manual. In San Francisco's moist climate, look for humidity-related corrosion on heating elements. Avoid full DIY repairs—call professionals like us for safe, accurate diagnostics to prevent further damage.

6. How do I know if my dishwasher needs to be repaired or replaced?

You'll know your dishwasher needs repair if issues are isolated and recent, like sudden leaks from a worn door seal, poor draining due to a clogged filter, or noisy operation from a faulty spray arm—especially if it's under 10 years old. Signs for replacement include frequent breakdowns (e.g., repeated electrical problems in the control panel), age over 12-15 years, or major failures like a seized motor where fixes exceed half the cost of a new unit. In San Francisco, where salt air speeds up corrosion on parts like heating elements, persistent mold or inefficiency signals time for an upgrade to a more durable model. Our free diagnostics help evaluate this, factoring in your usage and warranty.

7. What is the most common reason for the dishwasher not draining?

The most common reason a dishwasher isn't draining is a clogged filter or blockage in the drain hose, often from food debris, grease, or mineral buildup that prevents water from exiting properly. This can lead to standing water, odors, or backups. Other culprits include a kinked hose, garbage disposal clogs (if connected), or a faulty drain pump. In humid, coastal spots like San Francisco, mold from moisture exacerbates filter issues. Start by cleaning the filter and checking connections; run a hot cycle with vinegar for minor clogs. If it persists, professional help ensures no underlying electrical faults—our team handles these quickly with same-day service.

8. Can I use vinegar to unclog a dishwasher?

Yes, white vinegar is a safe, natural way to unclog minor blockages in your dishwasher, particularly for dissolving mineral deposits, grease, or soap scum in the filter, spray arms, or drain hose. Pour 1-2 cups into the bottom of an empty dishwasher and run a hot cycle—this helps break down clogs without harsh chemicals. It's effective for not-draining issues or odors, especially in hard-water areas or humid climates like San Francisco where buildup is common. However, for severe clogs (e.g., involving the drain pump), vinegar may not suffice—avoid overusing it to prevent seal wear. If unresolved, contact us for a thorough inspection.

9. What’s covered under the 1-year warranty?

Our 1-year warranty covers parts and labor for repairs we perform, including replacements like spray arms, door gaskets, drain pumps, heating elements, control panels, and thermal fuses. It ensures protection against defects in workmanship or materials used during the service. Exclusions typically include damage from misuse, improper installation, or pre-existing issues not addressed in the repair. For San Francisco customers, this includes fixes related to local factors like humidity-induced corrosion. If a covered problem recurs within the year, we'll handle it at no extra cost—contact us with your service details for quick resolution.
