Straight answer

The dishwashers we do not take.

We do not repair dishwashers from LG, Samsung, Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, or Jenn-Air. Any model, any year.

It is not a knock on the machines. It is the parts pricing. What a circulation pump, a control board, or a touch panel costs on one of these, set against what the dishwasher sold for new, turns the repair into a bad buy for you more often than not. We would rather tell you that here than charge you $99 to say it in your kitchen.

Everything else from these brands we still fix: refrigerators, ranges, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. We repair dishwashers from every other brand.

That answer does not change by town, so it holds in Los Altos the same as anywhere else we run. Call us on the rest of the kitchen and we will be out.

  • Serviced: Fisher & Paykel, Miele, Cove, Asko. We also service every other residential and commercial brand.
  • Not serviced: LG, Samsung, Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Jenn-Air dishwashers
  • Still serviced on those brands: refrigerators, ranges, ovens, cooktops, washers, dryers

Dishwasher Repair in Los Altos

Dishwasher Repair in Los Altos.

We provide a written repair estimate after the on-site diagnosis and before any work starts.

The work itself is the same three jobs most weeks. A machine that will not drain, which is usually the filter or a drain-pump impeller jammed on a chip of glass. A leak, which is almost always a tired door gasket or a pump seal weeping into the base pan. And dishes coming out dirty, which is a clogged spray arm, a worn wash pump, or an inlet valve that is not filling all the way. We read the fault code, meter the part it points at, and give you the price before anything comes apart.

What the work looks like

A dishwasher leaking from the pump and sump.

The base of a dishwasher with the lower panel off, where the circulation pump, sump, and diverter live. A worn pump seal, a cracked sump, or a bad diverter is what puts water on the floor. The same layout appears across many built-in machines.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Panel-ready door alignment. Custom panel on a Downtown rebuild sags and the door pops mid-wash. We re-shim the hinge and reset spring tension. A common adjustment that gets skipped on a lot of jobs.
  • Miele G-series, dispenser or door fault. The dispenser mechanism and the door gasket are the usual failure points on these machines. The wax motor behind the flap weakens with age and the flap stops releasing, and the gasket hardens where the door pinches it and starts weeping at the corners. Both are testable, and neither gets swapped on a guess.
  • Miele AutoDos, dispensing fault. The AutoDos cartridge unit or the door board behind it. The model number decides which of the two to carry, so it is worth having before the visit rather than after.
  • Miele, fill valve sticking. A stuck or slow fill valve throws a fill fault that gets blamed on the water supply. Testing the valve on its own settles it, because a valve that opens partway looks the same as low pressure at the tap.

FAQ

Dishwasher Repair in Los Altos questions, answered.

  • Which dishwasher brands do you repair?
    We repair every dishwasher brand except LG, Samsung, Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and Jenn-Air. The six-brand exclusion applies to dishwashers only. We still service refrigerators, ranges, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers from those brands.
  • How do you route Los Altos from San Ramon?
    Los Altos runs on our Mid-Peninsula day with Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto, two to three days a week. Drive time is 45 to 60 minutes. We confirm booked windows in writing before the truck leaves the shop.
  • Both my DishDrawer drawers stopped sealing. One repair or two?
    Usually one drawer at a time. An F1 fault is the lid actuator on that specific drawer. We replace its lid motor and lid seal together. If the second drawer is fine we leave it alone and tell you what to watch for.
