Common Kenmore Dishwasher Repair Services

Drainage System Repair

When your dishwasher isn't draining properly, our technicians can identify and fix issues with drain pumps, hoses, filters, or check valves. We'll ensure water flows out properly, preventing standing water and potential damage.

Spray System Service

If dishes aren't getting clean, we'll inspect and repair spray arms, water inlet valves, and circulation systems. Our comprehensive approach ensures proper water distribution throughout the wash cycle for spotless results.

Control System Repair

For dishwashers experiencing error codes or control panel issues, our technicians can diagnose and repair electronic components, replace circuit boards, or fix user interface problems to restore full functionality.

Door and Seal Replacement

Leaking dishwashers often have problems with door gaskets or seals. We can replace these components to prevent water from escaping during cycles, protecting your floors and cabinetry from water damage.

Heating Element Service

If your dishwasher isn't heating water properly or dishes aren't drying, we can repair or replace heating elements and associated components to ensure proper temperature throughout the wash and dry cycles.

Repair or Replace Decision Guide

When facing significant dishwasher issues, you may wonder whether repair or replacement is more economical. Here's what to consider:

Age Factors

• Under 5 years: Repair is typically the most cost-effective option for dishwashers in this age range

• 5-10 years: Repairs may still be worthwhile, especially for higher-end Kenmore models

• Over 10 years: Depending on the specific issue, replacement might be more practical for older units

Cost Considerations

Typical Kenmore dishwasher repairs range from $150 to $350, depending on the specific issue and parts required. As a general rule, repair is usually more economical when:

• The repair cost is less than 50% of a new dishwasher's price

• The problem is isolated to one specific component

• The dishwasher is otherwise in good condition

Performance Evaluation

Consider repair when:

• Only one specific function is affected

• The dishwasher still meets your cleaning needs

• It matches your other kitchen appliances

Consider replacement when:

• Multiple systems are failing

• Energy efficiency has significantly improved in newer models

• You need features not available on your current model

Our technicians can provide an honest assessment to help you make the best decision for your situation.
