Dishwasher repair across the Twin Cities and Central MN
Dishwashers fail on a fairly tight list of parts: drain pump, circulation pump, water inlet valve, door latch, control board, soap dispenser, and the door spring/cable assembly. We carry every one of those for Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, GE, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and Maytag — which is why the vast majority of our dishwasher calls finish in one visit. Same-day windows are standard if you book before 2pm.
Bosch in particular dominates the cabinet-mount dishwasher market across the Twin Cities — we see more Bosch 300, 500, and 800 Series machines than any other brand, and we know the specific failure modes for each generation. Same goes for the Miele G7000 series in luxury kitchens across Edina, Wayzata, and Minnetonka.
Why your dishwasher leaves dishes dirty — it's usually not what you think
Most 'won't clean' calls turn out to be one of three things: a clogged spray arm, a failing circulation pump, or a soap dispenser that isn't opening on cycle. Hard-water buildup in the spray arm jets is the most common — a $15 part if it actually needs replacement, often just a deep clean. The circulation pump is a real failure that needs replacement when the impeller starts losing pressure. The soap dispenser is a wax-motor or solenoid issue. We diagnose all three on the first visit.
Worth noting: about one in ten 'dirty dish' calls turns out to be a loading or rinse-aid issue, not a hardware fault. We'll tell you that straight and refund the diagnostic if there's no actual repair needed.
Leaks — the call we take seriously
A dishwasher leak isn't just a dishwasher problem. It's a hardwood-floor problem, a subfloor problem, and eventually a drywall-ceiling problem if you're on a second floor. We treat every leak call as priority. The usual suspects: door gasket, sump seal, water inlet valve, hose clamp, or the float switch stuck on. We pressure-test the seals after the repair and run a full cycle on a moisture pad to verify there's no residual leak before we leave.
Honest pricing, real warranty
Flat $129 diagnostic, fully waived when you approve the repair. Most dishwasher repairs land between $180 and $440 all-in. Pump replacements and control-board jobs run higher and are always quoted in writing. 1-year parts-and-labor warranty on every completed repair.
Dishwasher maintenance that prevents the next call
Run an empty hot cycle with a cup of distilled white vinegar on the top rack once a month — it dissolves hard-water film inside the spray arms and keeps the heating element clear. Pull the bottom rack and clean the filter assembly at the base of the tub every 4–6 weeks; that single habit prevents most "won't drain" calls we see. Wipe the door gasket and the underside of the door rim with a damp cloth weekly — mold there is what makes a dishwasher smell, not the wash chamber.
Don't pre-rinse dishes to spotless. Modern detergent enzymes need food residue to work against; rinsing too clean is a real cause of cloudy glasses and grit on plates. And never run a dishwasher with the under-sink hot-water shut-off only half open — low inlet pressure trips the inlet valve and the float switch in ways that look like board failures but aren't.
When to DIY and when to call us
Homeowner-friendly: cleaning the filter and spray arms, replacing the upper or lower rack tines, swapping the rinse-aid dispenser cap, and clearing the air gap on the sink top. Door spring/cable assemblies are technically DIY but the springs are loaded — wear safety glasses if you try it.
Tech-level work: drain pump and circulation pump replacement (the unit has to come out from under the counter), water inlet valve, soap dispenser solenoid or wax motor, control-board diagnostics, and anything on a Bosch 800 Series or Miele G7000 where the panel-ready integration adds steps. Leaks should always get a tech call — by the time you can see the water, it's already in the subfloor.
