Repair or replace your dishwasher?

A simple rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is near the end of its life, replacement may make more sense.

A dishwasher typically lasts – and costs $600–$1,200 to replace — so most faults under about $450 are worth fixing. We'll always tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth your money.

Keep your dishwasher running

Simple habits that prevent the most common the GTA repairs.

  • Clean the bottom filter monthly — twist it out and rinse under warm water; a clogged filter is the #1 cause of poor cleaning and drain faults.
  • Pull the spray arms a few times a year and clear the jet holes with a toothpick so water reaches every dish.
  • Keep the rinse-aid reservoir topped up — it's what sheets water off so dishes actually dry (essential on modern condensation-dry models).
  • Run a dishwasher cleaner (or a cup of white vinegar on a hot cycle) monthly to clear grease and hard-water scale — Toronto/GTA water is moderately hard.
  • Use only dishwasher detergent — never dish soap or hand soap, which foams over and leaks past the door seals.
  • Wipe the door gasket clean and check it for tears; replace it as soon as it hardens or leaks.
  • Scrape plates instead of pre-rinsing them spotless — modern detergents need some food soil to work against, and heavy debris clogs the filter.
  • Run the kitchen hot tap before starting a cycle so the dishwasher fills with already-hot water for better cleaning and drying.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my dishwasher not draining?
A pool of dirty water sits in the sump/tub floor at the end of the cycle, sometimes with a hum from the drain pump that never clears it. Most common cause: Clogged filter, sump, or drain hose (food debris, grease, glass/seeds in the pump). A typical repair is $200–$390, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why are my dishes still dirty after the dishwasher runs?
Dishes come out with stuck-on food, gritty grit, or a chalky/white film even after a full cycle. Most common cause: Clogged or non-spinning spray arms (food in the jets) or a clogged filter recirculating dirty water. A typical repair is $200–$430, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my dishwasher dry the dishes?
Dishes are clean but soaking wet when the door opens, with puddles in cup bottoms and on plastics. Most common cause: Empty rinse-aid reservoir (rinse aid is what sheets water off so it evaporates). A typical repair is $180–$360, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my dishwasher leaking water?
Water appears on the floor in front of or under the dishwasher during or after a cycle. Most common cause: Worn, torn, or food-fouled door gasket (leaks from the front of the door). A typical repair is $200–$430, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my dishwasher start?
Pressing Start does nothing — no lights, no fill, no hum — or the panel lights but the cycle never begins. Most common cause: Door not latching fully — the door latch/switch tells the control it's safe to run (very common quick fix). A typical repair is $180–$470, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my dishwasher not filling with water?
The cycle starts but you never hear water fill; dishes come out bone-dry and unwashed, or it errors out part-way. Most common cause: Failed or scaled water-inlet valve (the solenoid valve that lets water in). A typical repair is $200–$390, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
What does the error code on my dishwasher mean?
A code shows on the display (or a status light blinks a set number of times) and the cycle stops or won't start. Most common cause: Drain fault — clogged filter/pump/hose (Bosch E24/E22, LG OE, Samsung 5C/5E, Whirlpool 8-flash). A typical repair is $180–$510, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my dishwasher's soap dispenser open?
The cycle ends with the detergent still caked in a closed dispenser cup — and dishes come out poorly cleaned. Most common cause: Old/caked detergent or pod residue gumming the dispenser flap shut. A typical repair is $180–$350, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Do you charge for the diagnostic?
The diagnostic is a flat $149.95, and it is credited 100% toward your repair — so if you go ahead with the fix, it isn't an extra charge.
How soon can you come out?
Same-day & next-day appointments available across the GTA. Call (647) 490-7878 and we'll give you the next available slot.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Repairs are performed by Anthony, who is Red Seal Certified, 313A Licensed, TSSA Certified, ODP Certified, and the work is backed by $2,000,000+ general liability insurance and a 90-day warranty.
Do you use genuine parts?
Yes — we fit OEM parts and stock the common ones on the van, so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
