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.

Common questions

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.

Do you repair built-in and drawer-style dishwashers?

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