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 San Jose 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 San Jose

Dishwasher Repair in San Jose.

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.

  • Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer F1 lid actuator. The lid actuator on one of the drawers has failed. Motor and lid seal together: the seal takes a set under a dragging lid, and replacing the motor alone puts the leak straight back. About 90 minutes.
  • Panel-ready pull and door alignment. A heavy custom panel and flanked front make this a careful pull. We work the unit out clean and reset the hinge shims and spring tension so the door holds through the wash.
  • Older basement or ADU unit, cloudy dishes. Hard water buildup on the spray arm jets in the smaller secondary units behind the main house. I clean and test before replacing the arm.
  • Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer, F1 lid actuator. Water at the top drawer alongside F1 points at the lid actuator. The seal is replaced with the motor, because a new motor closing on a set seal leaks again. About 90 minutes.

FAQ

Dishwasher Repair in San Jose 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.
  • San Jose is a haul from San Ramon. How does scheduling work?
    Drive time is 50 to 70 minutes, so we block dedicated South-Bay days rather than running back and forth across 880. We batch Almaden, Willow Glen, Cambrian, and the West Valley pocket together and give you a written arrival window on those days.
  • My Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer throws an F1. What is the fix?
    F1 is a lid actuator fault, a failed lid motor. We replace the motor and the lid seal at the same time. Replacing only the motor is what lets it leak again a while later. We carry DishDrawer lid actuators on the truck.
