What we fix

Common dishwasher problems we see in Ocoee homes

Most calls fall into a handful of familiar categories.

Not draining

Usually a clogged drain hose, a blocked filter basket, or a failing drain pump. Standing water at the bottom is the classic sign.

Dishes coming out dirty

Often a clogged spray arm, a worn water inlet valve, or hard water buildup restricting the jets from reaching every dish.

Won't start

Can point to a faulty door latch switch, a tripped control board, or an issue with the start button itself.

Leaking underneath

Commonly a worn door gasket, a cracked spray arm, or a loose hose connection under the unit.

Loud grinding noise

Often something caught in the pump or chopper blade, or worn wash arm bearings creating friction during the cycle.

Door won't latch

Usually a worn or misaligned latch assembly, which also prevents the cycle from starting as a safety measure.

What it costs

Dishwasher repair pricing, explained upfront

Here's the typical range once the cause is confirmed.

Spray arm or filter cleaning/repair$100–$180
Door latch or gasket replacement$100–$220
Drain pump repair$150–$300
Control board repair$200–$400

Your technician confirms the exact price after diagnosis, before starting any repair.

Should you repair or replace?

Dishwashers typically last around 9 to 10 years. If yours is newer and the repair cost is under half the price of a comparable new unit, repairing usually makes the most financial sense. A failed motor or control board on an older machine is often the tipping point toward replacement.

Dishwasher repair questions

Dishwasher repair FAQs

Why does my dishwasher leave a film on glasses?+

This is usually hard water mineral buildup rather than a mechanical fault, though a worn water inlet valve or the wrong detergent type can make it worse.

Why is there standing water at the bottom after a cycle?+

A clogged drain hose, blocked filter basket, or failing drain pump are the most common causes.

Is it normal for a dishwasher to smell?+

A mild smell can come from trapped food debris in the filter, but a persistent odor is worth having checked, since it can also signal a partial drain blockage.

How long do dishwashers usually last?+

Most dishwashers last around 9 to 10 years with normal use and regular filter cleaning.

Do you repair built-in and portable dishwashers?+

Yes, including built-in, drawer-style, and portable countertop dishwashers from all major brands.
