Technician has phenomenally quick response; came out same day of the call. Diagnosed the failure of my GE dishwasher’s motherboard. Efficient and explanatory with information. Courteous and clean in his process. Cost was commensurate with the repair. I would definitely recommend Sun Home Service.

Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

Some common signs you have a dirty dishwasher filter are:

Food sticking to your dishes even after a thorough wash cycle
Odor coming from your dishwasher
Stains left on dishes and utensils
Water pooling in your dishwasher
Food stuck to parts of the dishwasher, like the racks, walls, or sprayer arm

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

Yes, even a small dishwasher leak is a big deal. While it might seem minor, continuous unnoticed drips can lead to significant water damage to your kitchen floor, subfloor, and cabinetry. This damp environment is also a perfect breeding ground for mold, which can cause health issues and expensive mold remediation. Remember that water and electricity don't mix—having even a small leak poses a potential electrical hazard. Addressing any leak as soon as possible protects your home and avoids costly future repairs.

Common issues include drainage problems, faulty doors, inconsistent cleaning performance, unresponsive controls, or unusual noises.

To create a siphon break and remove any chance of dirty sink water or water that backs up into the sink from getting into your dishwasher, your dishwasher drain hose needs to have a high loop or an air gap device as part of its installation. All building codes require at least a high loop. In many places, it’s necessary to install an air gap device to meet the code.
