How Much Does Dishwasher Repair Cost?
Most dishwasher repairs run between $150 and $380, depending on the part. Drainage and door faults tend to be cheaper, while pump or control-board work costs more. Here is an honest breakdown and how our flat-rate pricing works.
| Repair | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Drain pump | $150 - $300 | Water left in the tub. |
| Door latch or gasket | $150 - $280 | Won't start or leaks at the door. |
| Water inlet valve | $160 - $300 | Fill problems. |
| Spray arm or filter assembly | $150 - $260 | Poor cleaning. |
| Wash/circulation pump | $220 - $400 | Dishes still dirty after a cycle. |
| Control board | $250 - $450 | Electronic / cycle faults. |
Ranges are typical parts-and-labor estimates for the Tacoma and South King County area, not a quote. Your real price is the flat rate you approve after the $79 diagnostic, which is credited toward the repair.
What affects the price
- Built-in dishwashers take labor to disconnect and reconnect plumbing and power.
- Premium quiet models (e.g. Bosch, Miele) can carry higher part prices.
- Cleaning issues are often an inexpensive filter or spray-arm fix rather than a pump.
