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

Standing water, gurgling, drain error codes

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.

Parts we often replaceDrain pumpFilter assemblyDrain hoseCheck valveSumpMain control board

Dishes Not Getting Clean

Gritty, cloudy or dirty dishes, food left on the top rack

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.

Parts we often replaceCirculation pumpSpray armsFilterHeating elementDetergent dispenserWater inlet valve

Dishwasher Leaking

Water on the floor, under the door, or under the cabinets

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.

Parts we often replaceDoor gasketInlet hoseDrain hosePump sealLeak sensorTub seal

Not Filling or Not Starting

No water, won’t start, buttons not responding

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.

Parts we often replaceDoor latchWater inlet valveFloat switchControl boardTouchpadThermal fuse

Not Drying & Noisy Dishwashers

Wet dishes, grinding, humming or knocking

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.

Parts we often replaceHeating elementDrying fanRinse-aid dispenserCirculation motorDrain pumpSpray arm

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

BrandCodeWhat it usually means
BoschE15Water in the base, leak protection
BoschE24Drain or filter blocked
BoschE25Drain pump blocked or faulty
MieleF11Drain fault
MieleF70Waterproof system tripped
SamsungLCLeak detected
Samsung5CDrain fault
LGOEDrain fault
LGAELeak 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.
