Dishwasher Pump Replacement Cost


A dishwasher's pump is essential for proper water drainage. If water isn't draining as it should or there are leaks, the pump could be faulty. A lingering musty odor may also signal water buildup, pointing to a potential pump problem. Replacing this component typically costs between $190 and $390, though for some models, expenses may exceed $440.

Dishwasher Motor Replacement Cost


The dishwasher’s motor drives the pump responsible for draining water, so a motor failure can cause issues like standing water or improper drainage, similar to a pump malfunction. However, motor replacement is usually more costly, with prices typically falling between $440 and $640. For newer or more common dishwasher models, finding replacement parts tends to be easier and more affordable compared to older units.

Dishwasher Heating Element Replacement Cost


The heating element in a dishwasher is responsible for warming the water during washing and generating heat for drying. If the appliance feels cool immediately after a cycle, the heating element could be faulty. Hiring a professional to replace this component usually costs between $190 and $290.

Dishwasher Filter Replacement Cost


The filter in a dishwasher helps keep food particles from redepositing on clean dishes and clogging the drain. If dishes come out with food residue despite being rinsed before washing, the filter could be the issue. Fortunately, replacing this component is typically inexpensive, with costs ranging from $90 to $140.

Dishwasher Sprayer Arm Replacement Cost


The spray arm in a dishwasher distributes water evenly to ensure dishes are properly rinsed. If it's broken, dishes may come out unclean, and water could start accumulating inside or even leaking outside the unit. The cost to replace this part generally falls between $115 and $140.

Dishwasher Rubber Gasket Replacement Cost


The rubber gasket along the bottom of a dishwasher door helps create a watertight seal to prevent leaks. If water starts seeping out, a worn or damaged gasket could be the cause. This problem is more frequent in older dishwashers since rubber naturally breaks down over time. Replacing the gasket at Appliance Repairmen usually costs between $90 and $140.

Dishwasher Door Latch Replacement Cost


A dishwasher door that doesn’t close properly may have a worn or broken latch, which is essential for keeping the door securely shut during operation. Replacing this component generally costs between $190 and $290.


Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve Replacement


The water inlet valve regulates the flow of water into your dishwasher. If you notice leaks when the appliance isn’t running, or if it’s filling too slowly or not at all, the valve might be malfunctioning. Replacing it usually costs between $120 and $165.

VERY responsive! I called the guys on Thursday afternoon for a dishwasher issue and they came by the next day to diagnose the problem. Turns out I needed a new motor, which the guys ordered, picked up on a Saturday morning, and installed right away.

I had a hard time finding someone who would work on my stove be course it was quite old. The repairman arrived during the time they said he would, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it for a reasonable price. I will definitely use them again!
Thank you!
