We remodeled a 1950s Pinole kitchen around Gaggenau. Why does the dishwasher drain slowly?

The cause may sit outside the dishwasher: a kinked hose, a clogged air gap, or an old sink drain narrowed by buildup. We check those first because they cost less to fix than a pump.

What if the problem turns out to be the house plumbing?

If the trouble is a drain inside the wall, we show you where and you can call a plumber. In that case you pay only the diagnostic. When the fault is in the dishwasher, that diagnostic fee goes toward our repair.

Do Pinole's EBMUD water and a Gaggenau combi-steam oven get along?

Better than harder water would. EBMUD water is soft to moderate, so scale builds slowly, but the steam generator still needs the descale cycle when the oven asks. Years of skipped descales is how generators fail.

Gaggenau in Pinole

Gaggenau in Pinole kitchens.

Most of Pinole went up in the building boom of the 1940s through the 1960s, and Pinole Valley added larger single-family homes. When one of those kitchens is gutted and rebuilt around Gaggenau, the appliances are new but the drain lines and wiring behind them may not be. A Gaggenau dishwasher tied into an old sink drain is a good example of where the trouble can start.

Pinole is covered by our technician based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you go ahead with it. Every price is written down and agreed before work starts, and we are licensed under CSLB #1136642.

Common repairs we handle.

Dishwasher leaving water in the tub after a cycle. Standing water points to the filter, the drain hose, the air gap or the drain pump. On a remodel in an older house we also look at where the hose meets the old drain under the sink. We clear what is clogged and test the pump before replacing it.
Wall oven shutting off before it reaches temperature. The oven heats, then drops out with a fault code. The temperature sensor, the cooling fan and the control board can each cause it. We read the code, watch the cooling fan run, and measure the sensor before choosing a part.
Vario refrigerator column creeping warm. When the refrigerator column drifts warm, we start with the evaporator fan, the defrost heaters and the drain, then the temperature sensor. The sealed system comes last. Our technician is EPA 608 Type I certified, so refrigerant work stays with us if it comes to that.
