He gave me a quote to fix but unfortunately the price was almost as much as a new dishwasher and because it's a rental instead of fixing I will opt to replace

Hired Jason to do some electrical work for my dishwasher since they are not allowed to be hard wired anymore. He was fair within price. Not only did he do the electrical work but without asking he also installed the dishwasher for me. I was very happy. I would hire Jason again.

We had an issue with the technician that came to the house. The technician did not run a cycle for the dishwasher to see if it ran and drained properly. We had to troubleshoot and have a second technician come out.

Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

Installing a dishwasher should take one to four hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether you DIY or hire a pro. Even if you're particularly handy, installing a dishwasher on your own will likely take longer — at least two hours. On the other hand, a professional can likely install a dishwasher in about an hour. Installation time will take longer if you have to remove an existing dishwasher, reroute plumbing, or repair damaged flooring underneath the appliance.
