FAQ & TIPS
Average dishwasher repair cost can be $150-$200. Replacing a blown dishwasher fuse may cost as little as $150, while dishwasher electronic control board replacement can costs more than $400. Fixing a leak is the most common dishwasher repair — costing an average of $180.
When your dishwasher is less than 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of buying a new dishwasher, it’s typically more economical to repair the dishwasher. Many dishwasher repairs cost less than $250, so you’ll often want to repair the dishwasher rather than replace it.

- Open the door and close it firmly to ensure it's closed properly.

- Make sure the water supply valve to your dishwasher is turned on all the way.
- Clear any debris that may be caught under the float assembly located on the bottom of the dishwasher tub and be sure that it can move up and down freely.
- Ensure that the drain hose that connects to the garbage disposal and/or your sink's drain line is not kinked and that bends are not too sharp.
- Check and clear any blockages in the drain hose.
- If your dishwasher has an air gap (usually located on the countertop, parallel to the faucet), lift the cover off, unscrew the plastic cap, and clean any soil buildup with a paper clip.
