Your dishwasher should clean every dish properly without leaving spots, residue, or standing water. When it’s working right, you load it after dinner and wake up to sparkling clean dishes every morning.
No more hand-washing pots and pans because your dishwasher can’t handle them. No more running cycles twice because dishes come out still dirty. No more dealing with pools of water on your kitchen floor from mysterious leaks.
You get back to your normal routine without worrying about whether your dishwasher will actually do its job. Your kitchen stays organized, your time stays yours, and your dishes get properly cleaned every single cycle.

Every dishwasher repair includes a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to identify all issues, not just the obvious ones. We repair or replace components like pumps, heating elements, door seals, spray arms, control boards, and drainage systems using parts that meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications.
North Shirley’s hard water conditions can cause mineral buildup that affects dishwasher performance over time. We address these local water quality issues by cleaning internal components, replacing filters when needed, and providing maintenance recommendations specific to our area’s water conditions.
You receive a detailed explanation of what we found, what we fixed, and how to prevent similar problems in the future. Our 90-day labor warranty covers the repair work, and we honor all manufacturer warranties on replacement parts. We also provide honest guidance about whether repair makes financial sense or if replacement would be more cost-effective for your situation.
If your dishwasher is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of a new unit, repair usually makes financial sense. Common repairable issues include clogged spray arms, faulty door seals, worn pump components, and control panel problems.
However, if your dishwasher is older than 12 years and needs major component replacements like a new motor or multiple system repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll assess your specific situation and provide honest guidance about which option makes the most financial sense for your household.
Our technicians will explain the pros and cons of each option, including energy efficiency improvements you’d get with a newer model versus the immediate cost savings of repair.
Dishwasher leaks typically stem from worn door seals, loose connections, clogged drains, or damaged hoses. While small leaks might seem minor, they can quickly cause significant water damage to your kitchen flooring, cabinets, and even the room below.
The most common leak sources are the door gasket that seals the dishwasher door, the drain hose connection under the unit, and the water inlet valve. Sometimes leaks occur because the dishwasher isn’t level, causing water to pool and escape through the door seal.
We recommend shutting off your dishwasher immediately if you notice any water pooling around the unit and calling for service. Most leak repairs are straightforward and cost-effective, but delaying repair can turn a simple seal replacement into expensive water damage restoration.
Poor cleaning performance usually indicates clogged spray arms, a dirty filter, incorrect water temperature, or worn internal components. The spray arms have small holes that can get blocked by food particles, grease, or mineral deposits from North Shirley’s hard water.
Your dishwasher’s filter, located at the bottom of the tub, needs regular cleaning to maintain proper water circulation. If it’s clogged, dirty water recirculates during the wash cycle. Additionally, your water heater should be set to 120°F for optimal cleaning – anything lower won’t activate the detergent properly.
Internal issues like a worn wash pump motor, faulty heating element, or malfunctioning detergent dispenser can also cause cleaning problems. We’ll diagnose which components aren’t working properly and restore your dishwasher’s cleaning performance.
Most common dishwasher repairs take 1-2 hours once we’ve diagnosed the problem and have the necessary parts. Simple fixes like unclogging spray arms, replacing door seals, or installing new filters can often be completed in under an hour.
More complex repairs involving pump replacement, control board issues, or multiple component problems might take 2-3 hours. We keep common replacement parts in our service vehicles, which allows us to complete most repairs in a single visit.
If we need to order a specific part for your dishwasher model, we’ll explain the timeline upfront. We prioritize getting your kitchen back to normal as quickly as possible while ensuring the repair is done correctly the first time.
Yes, our certified technicians are trained to repair all major dishwasher brands including GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, and Maytag. We also service high-end brands and newer smart dishwasher models.
Each brand has specific diagnostic procedures and component specifications, which is why proper training and certification matter. We maintain relationships with parts suppliers for all major manufacturers, ensuring we can source genuine OEM parts when needed.
Whether you have a basic model or a premium dishwasher with advanced features, we have the expertise and tools to diagnose problems accurately and complete repairs to manufacturer standards.
First, check that the dishwasher is properly plugged in and that your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Make sure the door is fully closed and latched, as dishwashers won’t start with an open or improperly closed door.
If these basic checks don’t solve the problem, the issue likely involves the door latch mechanism, control panel, or internal electrical components. Don’t attempt to remove panels or check internal wiring yourself, as this can void warranties and create safety hazards.
Call for professional service rather than trying DIY repairs. Our technicians can quickly identify whether the problem is a simple door latch adjustment or a more complex control board failure, and we’ll provide an honest assessment of repair costs versus replacement value.
