FAQS
Dishwasher Repair Questions
Can you repair my dishwasher if it's still under warranty?
Yes. We can repair dishwashers still under manufacturer’s warranty. For the repair to be covered under warranty, contact the manufacturer directly and request a work order confirming warranty coverage and authorisation. Once we receive the valid work order, we’ll proceed with the warranty repair.
If you prefer to proceed without a manufacturer’s work order, we’re happy to repair your dishwasher on a chargeable basis. Either way, our repairs won’t void your manufacturer’s warranty when carried out to manufacturer repair standards.
How much does a dishwasher repair typically cost?
Dishwasher repair costs vary depending on the specific issue. Drain pump cleaning or filter unclogging may be low-cost. Pump replacement, heating element repair, or control board replacement can be more substantial. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call us on 1300-434-380 for a free phone consultation. We’ll discuss your issue and provide ballpark costs before scheduling your appointment.
Can you fix my dishwasher today?
We aim to complete most dishwasher repairs same-day when parts are in stock, especially for common issues like drain clearing or seal replacement. Call us immediately on 1300-434-380 and we’ll assess whether same-day repair is possible for your specific issue. For urgent situations, we prioritise next-day appointments.
Is it worth repairing a leaking dishwasher?
Yes, typically. Dishwasher leaks can usually be fixed with door seal or gasket replacement, hose repair, or pump seal replacement—all relatively affordable fixes. However, if your dishwasher is very old and has recurring issues, replacement might be worth considering. Our technicians can assess your situation during inspection.
Why does my dishwasher need a professional? Can't I fix it myself?
While some simple maintenance (like cleaning filters) you can do, dishwasher repairs involve electrical components, water pressure systems, and intricate mechanical parts. DIY attempts risk damage, water leaks, electrical hazards, and voided warranties. Professional repair ensures safety, proper diagnosis, and lasting fixes. Our technicians are trained on all dishwasher systems and carry genuine parts.
How long does a typical dishwasher repair take?
Most dishwasher repairs take 1-2 hours if parts are in stock. Simple repairs like drain clearing or gasket replacement may be faster. Complex repairs involving pump replacement or control board issues can take longer. We’ll provide a time estimate during your assessment.
Can you install a new dishwasher if mine can't be repaired?
Yes. If replacement is the best option, we supply, install, and remove your old dishwasher, so you get a seamless, hassle-free experience. We can discuss dishwasher options and pricing during your service call.
