Dishwasher repair in San Francisco
Dishes coming out cloudy or still dirty, water pooling at the bottom, or a door that won't latch shut all point to a fixable problem. We offer same-day dishwasher repair across San Francisco for built-in and drawer-style units from every major brand.
Signs your dishwasher needs a repair
- Standing water at the bottom of the tub after a cycle
- Dishes come out with food residue or a cloudy film
- Water leaking out from under the door
- The cycle stops partway through or won't start
- Unusual grinding or buzzing during the wash cycle
Common causes we find
A clogged drain filter or blocked air gap is the most common reason a dishwasher won't drain. San Francisco's water can leave mineral deposits over time that slow drainage further. Dishes coming out dirty usually mean a clogged spray arm or a worn wash pump. Leaks around the door often come from a worn gasket or a door that's slightly out of alignment, which we check together since they tend to fail as a pair.

Dishwasher repair questions, answered
Why is my dishwasher not draining?
A clogged drain filter, a blocked air gap, or a failing drain pump are the most common causes. San Francisco's hard water can also speed up mineral buildup in the drain line.
Why are my dishes coming out dirty?
A clogged spray arm, a worn wash pump, or an overloaded rack blocking water flow are usually to blame. Sometimes it's as simple as a clogged filter basket at the bottom of the tub.
How much does dishwasher repair cost?
Most dishwasher repairs in San Francisco run between $100 and $300. Simple filter or spray arm fixes are on the lower end, while pump or control board work runs higher.
Why is my dishwasher leaking from the door?
A worn door gasket, an overloaded detergent dispenser, or a warped door alignment are the usual causes. We check the seal and hinge alignment together since they often fail as a pair.

Yes. We repair standard built-in dishwashers as well as drawer-style units from brands like Fisher & Paykel.
