Common Dishwasher Problems
A malfunctioning dishwasher isn’t just an inconvenience — it can cause water damage to your kitchen floor and cabinetry if it’s leaking, or leave you hand-washing every dish if it stops mid-cycle. Whether your dishwasher won’t drain, won’t start, or is leaving dishes dirty, our technicians have seen the issue before and can usually fix it in a single visit.
We service all dishwasher types — built-in, freestanding, drawer-style, and portable — across the Greater Vancouver area, including condos, townhomes, and single-family homes.
Dishwasher Won't Drain
Standing water in the bottom of your dishwasher after a cycle usually means a clogged drain filter, a failed drain pump, or a blocked drain hose. In some cases, a faulty check valve allows water to flow back into the tub. Our technicians inspect the full drain path — filter, pump, hose, and air gap — to identify and fix the root cause.
Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes Properly
If dishes come out still dirty, greasy, or with white residue, the problem is typically a clogged or broken spray arm, a malfunctioning wash pump, a faulty detergent dispenser, or water that isn’t reaching the right temperature. We test water inlet temperature, spray arm rotation, and pump pressure to pinpoint the issue.
Dishwasher Leaking Water
Water on your kitchen floor is the most urgent dishwasher problem because it can damage flooring, cabinets, and subflooring. Common causes include a worn door gasket, a cracked door hinge, a loose or damaged drain hose connection, or a faulty water inlet valve. We recommend calling us immediately if your dishwasher is leaking — don’t run another cycle until it’s diagnosed.
Dishwasher Won't Start or Has No Power
If nothing happens when you press the start button, the issue could be a faulty door latch (the dishwasher won’t run unless the door switch confirms it’s closed), a blown thermal fuse, a failed control board, or a wiring problem. We test each component systematically to avoid unnecessary part replacements.
Dishwasher Making Unusual Noises
Grinding, humming, or buzzing sounds during a cycle can indicate a failing wash motor, debris caught in the drain pump impeller, a worn bearing, or spray arms hitting dishes due to improper loading. A loud humming sound with no water flowing usually points to a stuck or seized pump motor.

Recent Dishwasher Repair in Vancouver - Case Study
The problem: A homeowner located in Kitsilano called us to help with their Blomberg DW81800SSIH built-in dishwasher that wasn’t draining water. There was lots of water pooled at the bottom of the tub, and they couldn’t get it to drain even after they bailed it out.
What we found: Our technician Sean took off the lower spray arm and the filter housing and removed some gunk and debris from there. They also removed the pump and found a small piece of glass lodged in the impeller blades. However, once they removed the piece of glass – the drain pump still didn’t drain the water properly. The technician removed the kick plate and the front door panel of the unit. They first tested the resistance of the motor windings finding that the drain pump motor was electrically sound. They also checked the voltage going from the mainboard to the pump to ensure it was receiving adequate power from the board and found the expected voltage going from the board to the pump. Seemingly, all the ingredients for the pump to work properly were in place. So what could be the issue?
The fix: The unit was installed in a way where the door latch closed and made a click as though it latched properly, however once water entered the unit, due to a slight forward tilt, the door came ajar ever so slightly enough to break contact with the door latch, which disrupted the neutral line from going to the drain pump, causing it to not run despite most other user-facing functions on the control interface seeming to work. We reinstalled the dishwasher, secured it correctly and adjusted the door to close properly and make good contact with the door latch and ran a test cycle to ensure it drains correctly, which it did. Total cost: $250.00, no parts needed.
The takeaway: Not every “my dishwasher doesn’t drain” call means you need a new drain pump. Often, there are a handful of other culprits that a thorough diagnostic will pinpoint – which can save the customer money, and parts.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Dishwasher?
The average dishwasher lasts 10–13 years. Here’s a general guideline:
Repair if: The dishwasher is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new equivalent model. Most dishwasher repairs fall in the $250–$450 range (including parts), while a new mid-range dishwasher costs $700–$1,200 installed.
Consider replacing if: The dishwasher is over 10 years old, has a major component failure (wash motor, control board on an older model), or has had multiple repairs in the past year.
Our honest recommendation: Our technician will always give you a straight answer after diagnosing the issue. We don’t push repairs that don’t make sense financially — if replacement is the better option, we’ll tell you.

Dishwasher Repair FAQ
How long does a dishwasher repair take?
Most dishwasher repairs take between 30 and 60 minutes. If a part needs to be ordered, we schedule a return visit once it arrives — typically within 2–5 business days.
Can you repair a dishwasher in a condo?
Yes. We regularly service dishwashers in condos and apartment buildings across Vancouver, including downtown high-rises. We’re familiar with building access protocols and compact installation configurations.
My dishwasher is under warranty - can you help?
If your dishwasher was manufactured by Frigidaire, Electrolux, Blomberg, Beko, Bosch, Thermador, or another brand we’re authorized for, we can perform the warranty repair at no charge to you. Contact us with your model number and proof of purchase.
Is it worth fixing a 10-year-old dishwasher?
It depends on the specific repair. A $250 fix on a 10-year-old dishwasher that’s otherwise running well is usually worth it. A $500+ repair on a 12-year-old entry-level model probably isn’t. Our technician will give you an honest assessment.
What can I do before the technician arrives?
Turn off the dishwasher and check if the drain filter (usually at the bottom of the tub) is clogged with food debris. If the dishwasher is leaking, turn off the water supply valve under the sink. Don’t run another cycle until the issue is diagnosed.
