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 quickly can you reach Palo Alto?

We route Palo Alto with Atherton and Menlo Park on a Mid-Peninsula day, usually two to three days a week. Drive from San Ramon is 45 to 60 minutes. Booked calls get a written arrival time before we leave.

My older dishwasher is leaking onto the floor. Is the machine done?

Not necessarily. On retrofitted homes the leak is often the door seal or a loose drain connection, not the dishwasher itself. I dye-test to find the source before condemning anything. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair.

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 Palo Alto 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

Dishwasher Repair in Palo Alto

Dishwasher Repair in Palo Alto.

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 pops mid-wash. On the Eichler and Old Palo Alto remodels a heavy custom panel sags and pulls the door off its latch line. We re-shim the hinge and reset the spring tension so it stays shut through the cycle.
Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer F1 lid actuator. Lid motor failure on the integrated double drawers. The lid motor and the lid seal go in as a set, because the seal is flat by the time the motor gives out and a new motor will leak against it. About 90 minutes.
Panel-ready door alignment. Custom panel sags, magnet alignment is lost, the door springs open during the cycle. We re-shim the hinge and re-set the spring tension.
24-inch unit crammed into a smaller cutout, leaks at the door. Door gasket compressed or misaligned from a tight install. I check the door alignment before I order a new gasket.
