Dishwasher repair near you

Most of what looks broken is the filter and the drain

The two commonest complaints — it is not draining, and it is not cleaning — are usually the same end of the machine. Food debris collects in the filter at the bottom, and machines with a filter instead of a hard-food grinder need it taken out and rinsed on a schedule almost nobody is told about. Behind it, the drain hose has to rise into a high loop or an air gap before it falls to the trap, and a hose knocked down when somebody last worked under the sink lets sink water run back into the machine. Both are worth checking before you book anything at all, and both are the first two things a competent technician looks at anyway.
