Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

You should deep-clean your dishwasher every month for optimal performance. A simple scrub down using a homemade vinegar liquid solution is all you need, but don’t use cleaners that aren’t for dishwashers. 

If your dishwasher needs repair, expect to spend between $50 and $100 or $100 to $200 per hour to hire a dishwasher repair technician to service your machine.

Treat hard water with water treatment tablets to keep your dishes from getting spotty in between washes. Drop one of these into your dishwasher monthly and run a basic cycle with the machine empty.

Depending on your available time and skillset, there are some aspects of dishwasher repair you can DIY. Remember that dishwashers use water and electricity, which can cause potentially hazardous situations. However, there are some things you can do to reduce your overall repair cost, such as:

  • Cleaning the spray arm

  • Unclogging the float

  • Replacing the door gasket

  • Cleaning the door filter

  • Adjusting the door latch

Yes, a dishwasher needs an air gap to prevent backflow. Additionally, in many locations, air gaps or another measure to prevent backflow are required for building code compliance. There are alternatives to an air gap, like a Studor vent or a loop and trap design, but an air gap is the simplest and most popular solution.  

Basic maintenance, such as cleaning filters, is DIY-friendly, but repairs involving electrical components, pumps, or valves should be handled by a professional.

It’s not worth fixing a 20-year-old dishwasher or any 20-year-old appliance. Twenty years is beyond the useful life span of nearly every major household appliance. Once the appliance nears the end of its useful life span, repairs will become more frequent. A replacement often becomes more cost-effective at that point.
