Diagnosed and replaced dishwasher motor fail just fine but agreed to also re-install surrounding cabinets that weren't installed correctly when the home was built. That required him hiring another guy who was arrogant and tried to convince me that the job was done and perfect. I knew it wasn't...

Bear did a great job replacing the door lock mechanism on my Miele Dishwasher and didn’t try to up-sell me like another repair place did... Communication and timeliness were excellent. James got the job done quickly and for a reasonable price. We will call them again.

Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

You should follow the instructions listed on the detergent packaging and in your dishwasher user manual. Often, this means inserting the tablet or pod into the detergent dispenser (and not in the bottom of the dishwasher). If you put the pod anywhere else, it might dissolve too early in the cycle and fail to clean your dishes properly.

Costs depend on labor rates, replacement part prices, brand, and whether emergency service is required.

Yes, if your filter is damaged or simply too debris-filled to be of use, replace it with a new component. Check the instruction manual that accompanied the dishwasher for information as to the specific part. There are many online marketplaces that sell these parts, but perform due diligence to ensure you buy the right one.

Your first instinct might be to grab the bleach to clean a moldy dishwasher, but it’s not the best product for the job. You don’t want to use bleach to clean stainless steel components if your dishwasher has them, as it can cause significant damage. In addition, the scent of bleach can linger if not rinsed well, causing your dishes to retain a smell (and even taste) of bleach.

Leaks, poor drainage, failure to start, water not heating, and excessive noise frequently require service.
