Our dishwasher is from 2003. Repair it or replace it?

It depends on the machine and the fault. A premium dishwasher with a failed pump or valve is often worth fixing. One with a failed control, worn racks and tired door springs may not be. You get the repair price in writing and a straight opinion on whether it is worth spending.

Which dishwasher brands do you not repair?

We focus on premium built-ins: Thermador, Miele, Fisher & Paykel, GE Profile and Cove. For other brands, a repair rarely beats the price of a new machine, so we tell you that on the phone instead of charging for a visit.

Why is there water in the bottom of our dishwasher after the cycle?

A little water around the filter is normal on many machines. Standing water above the filter means a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose or a failing drain pump. Clean the filter first. If the water stays, we test the pump and the hose.

Dishwasher Repair in Hercules

Dishwasher Repair in Hercules.

Hercules has two housing eras. Inland of Interstate 80 along Refugio Valley Road, the subdivisions went up in the 1970s and 1980s. Near the bay, Victoria by the Bay and New Pacific followed in the early 2000s, and the Bayfront has added its first apartment buildings. A dishwasher that came with an early-2000s house has passed twenty years, and a repair on it needs an honest look at what else is wearing out.

EBMUD water in Hercules is soft to moderate, so scale is seldom behind a weak wash here; worn pumps, seals and valves are the usual suspects. We work on Thermador, Miele, Fisher & Paykel, GE Profile and Cove. Hercules calls go to our technician based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair once you approve the written quote.

What the work looks like

A dishwasher leaking from the pump and sump.

The base of a dishwasher, where the circulation pump, sump, and diverter live. A worn pump seal, a cracked sump, or the diverter lets water past and onto the floor.

Common repairs we handle.

Drain pump humming but not draining. A drain pump that hums without moving water is usually jammed by glass, a fruit pit or a label. We clear the impeller chamber and test the pump. If the impeller is cracked or the motor is weak, we replace the pump.
Circulation pump seal weeping into the base. A worn seal lets water drip into the base, where a float stops the machine before it can flood. We find the drip, replace the pump or the seal, dry the base and reset the leak fault.
GE Profile stopping partway through a cycle. When a Profile stops mid-cycle and shows a fault, the cause may be a door latch switch, a sensor or water in the base. We read the fault, test the latch and the sensors, and check the base before looking at the control.
Door that drops hard or will not stay up. Broken door springs or frayed cables let the door fall open or refuse to hold halfway. We replace the springs and cables in pairs and set the tension for the weight of the door.
