"We initially were happy with the service we received on our dishwasher. However it quickly became apparent that something was wrong. After the pump was replaced it was very noisy and did not clean dishes well. We were also getting new error codes that were not there before. It took 3 weeks to get a call back from All Better despite several attempts to contact them, which is why I am giving them a poor grade on responsiveness and a somewhat diminished grade on professionalism. After we finally got ahold of them the technician returned and said that the drain hose under the sink had fallen. Also, the new error codes were because a control board had failed and needed to be replaced. We were told that we would be called the next day with the price of the control board. Instead, a week went by and then we were called and told that the part had come in, and asked when we wanted to have it installed. Sometime after the second visit, we realized that the dishwasher had a significant leak and was doing damage to our hardwood floors and cabinets. The unit was not leaking before the first time it was worked on. This time communication was pretty good, and the owner of the company came out right away. He showed me where the leak was coming from, the sump assembly, and on further inspection inside the dishwasher I could see where the seal around the drain inside had come up. He verified on the phone with his technician that he had not intentionally taken apart that part of the dishwasher at any point.
So what really happened? No one knows, for sure. We know that the unit wasn't damaging the floors before it was worked on the first time, but it's also pretty clear that the source of the leak wasn't the part they directly worked on. It is possible, I suppose, that the leak was originally small and was there the whole time, and may have been the cause of the pump and other failures in the first place. But then why the floor damage? My opinion is that something they did to repair the pump, or something that happened putting the dishwasher back in place jostled the seal on the sump assembly and either created or exacerbated the leak, putting the rest of the chain of events into motion. Either that, or the leak was the cause of the pump failure and all the other failures in the first place, and they misdiagnosed it. In my opinion they are at least partially if not fully responsible for the damage that was done to my floors and cabinet, but since it is not coming directly from the parts they serviced there is no way to prove it.
In terms of fairness, I do have to say, assuming that they are not responsible for the leak, they refunded the full amount we paid for the initial visit. So now at least in addition to the dishwasher, cabinet, and floor I have to replace I'm not out the $200 for the repair work that they did. I do believe what I was told, which was that if the parts they directly installed had leaked, they would have taken responsibility for 100% of the damage. I'm just disappointed that with the situation being what it is, that there is (to me) enough circumstantial evidence that there is a reasonable chance that they are at least in part responsible, that I'm on my own for the repairs to my home.
