Dishwasher repair without the guesswork
A dishwasher that leaves standing water or dirty dishes is more than an annoyance, and a slow leak under a built-in can damage cabinets and floors before anyone notices. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available,* and we repair built-in, panel-ready, 18-inch compact and drawer dishwashers in houses, condos and businesses.
Many dishwasher faults start with something simple, like a clogged filter or a blocked spray arm, but the same symptoms can come from a failed drain pump, circulation motor or inlet valve. We clean and test in order, so you only pay for the part that actually failed.
Dishwasher Not Draining
Water left in the bottom after a cycle usually means a clogged filter, a blocked sump or a kinked or blocked drain hose. If those are clear, the drain pump has likely failed or jammed on a piece of glass, a seed or a fruit pit.

Problems we fix most
- Standing water in the tub
- Gurgling during the drain
- Drain error code
- Water backing up into the sink
- Bad smell from the tub
Before you book
Remove and rinse the filter at the bottom of the tub. If a new garbage disposal was just installed, check that the knock-out plug in its dishwasher inlet was removed.
How we diagnose a dishwasher that won’t drain
We clean the filter and sump, check the drain hose, the air gap and the disposal connection, then test the drain pump and listen for a jam.
Dishes Not Getting Clean
Dirty dishes are usually a water problem: not enough of it, not hot enough, or not reaching the racks. Blocked spray arms, a dirty filter, a weak circulation motor or a failed heater all show up the same way, as food left behind.

Problems we fix most
- Food left on dishes
- Gritty or sandy residue
- Cloudy glasses
- Top rack not getting clean
- Detergent not dissolving
Quick check
Run the kitchen tap until it’s hot before starting a cycle, clean the filter, and check that tall items aren’t blocking the spray arms or the detergent door.
How we diagnose poor cleaning
We clean the filter and spray arms, check the water temperature and fill level, then test the circulation motor, the heater and the detergent dispenser.
Dishwasher Leaking
A leak can come from a worn door gasket, a leaking pump seal, a loose hose under the unit or, less often, a cracked tub. Many dishwashers have a leak sensor in the base that stops the machine and shows a code until the water is dealt with.
Problems we fix most
- Water on the floor in front
- Water under the cabinets
- Leak-protection error code
- Suds coming out of the door
- Water in the base tray
Before you book
Use dishwasher detergent only, never dish soap, which makes suds that push out of the door. If the floor keeps getting wet, turn off the water to the dishwasher under the sink.
How we find a dishwasher leak
We remove the toe kick to see the base, find where the water is coming from, then check the door gasket, the hoses, the pump seals and the tub.
Not Filling or Not Starting
A dishwasher that won’t start may have a door latch that isn’t closing, a control lock turned on or a failed control. One that starts but doesn’t fill usually has a closed supply valve, a failed inlet valve or a stuck float switch.
Problems we fix most
- Won’t start at all
- Starts but no water comes in
- Buttons not responding
- Hums but doesn’t run
- Stops partway through
Quick check
Make sure the door latches firmly, the child or control lock is off, and the water valve under the sink is fully open.
How we diagnose fill and start problems
We test the door latch and switches, the water supply and the inlet valve, the float switch and the control board.
Not Drying & Noisy Dishwashers
Some wet dishes can be normal on European models that dry by condensation, but a failed heater, fan or rinse-aid dispenser also causes it. Grinding or rattling usually means something is caught in the pump or a spray arm, and loud humming can mean a struggling motor.
Problems we fix most
- Dishes come out wet
- Grinding or rattling
- Loud humming
- Knocking during the wash
- Burning smell
Good to know
Rinse aid makes a big difference to drying, especially on European dishwashers. Top it up before booking a drying repair.
How we diagnose drying and noise problems
We check the rinse-aid dispenser, the heater and the drying fan where fitted, then the pumps and the spray arms for anything caught in them.
Dishwasher repair by brand
We also repair Maytag, Thermador, Fisher & Paykel, Electrolux and many other dishwasher brands. See all brands we repair →
Dishwasher error codes we see
| Brand | Code | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Bosch | E15 | Water in the base, leak protection |
| Bosch | E24 | Drain or filter blocked |
| Bosch | E25 | Drain pump blocked or faulty |
| Miele | F11 | Drain fault |
| Miele | F70 | Waterproof system tripped |
| Samsung | LC | Leak detected |
| Samsung | 5C | Drain fault |
| LG | OE | Drain fault |
| LG | AE | Leak detected |
A leak code usually needs the base dried and the leak fixed before the dishwasher will run again. Codes vary by model, so we confirm with a test. More codes in our dishwasher error code guide.
Repair or replace your dishwasher?
Usually worth repairing
- It’s under about 8 to 10 years old
- The fault is a pump, valve, latch, heater, gasket or sensor
- It’s a premium or panel-ready model that’s costly to replace
- The tub and racks are in good shape
Worth weighing a replacement
- The tub is cracked or rusting through
- The control board and pumps have failed on an older, basic model
- The racks and interior are badly worn
- Parts are no longer available
Most dishwashers last around 9 to 10 years, and most repairs are a single part. You get a written price before any work starts.
Dishwasher repair questions
How much does dishwasher repair cost in Toronto?
It depends on the part and the dishwasher. The diagnostic is free when you go ahead with the repair, and the technician gives you a written price before any work starts. New customers also get $25 off the repair.
Why won't my dishwasher drain?
A clogged filter, a blocked sump or a kinked drain hose are the usual causes, followed by a failed or jammed drain pump. Clean the filter first. If water is still standing after the next cycle, book a visit.
Why are my dishes still dirty?
Usually the water isn't reaching the dishes properly: a dirty filter, blocked spray arms, low water temperature or a weak circulation motor. Run the tap hot before starting, clean the filter and check that nothing blocks the spray arms.
What do E24 and E25 mean on a Bosch dishwasher?
Both are drain faults. E24 usually means the filter or drain hose is blocked, and E25 usually means the drain pump is blocked or has failed. Cleaning the filter fixes many E24s; a recurring code needs a technician.
Do you repair panel-ready and integrated dishwashers?
Yes. We repair panel-ready and fully integrated dishwashers from Bosch, Miele, KitchenAid and other brands, and we take care to protect your cabinet panels.
Can you come the same day?
Often, yes. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available in your area. If today is full, we book the earliest time that suits you.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our repairs carry a warranty of up to 12 months, depending on the repair.
