Real Hygiene
A properly heated wash cycle sanitizes dishes in a way handwashing rarely matches.
Skip the pile of hand-washed dishes — prompt, reliable repair from certified techs across Seattle and surrounding areas.

Dishwashers tend to fail in a few familiar ways. Here's what we diagnose and fix every week.





Issue 01 of 05
Dishes Not Getting Clean
Spotted your issue?
Cloudy glasses, gritty plates, or food still stuck after a cycle usually trace back to:
Water on the kitchen floor is almost always one of these:
Standing water at the bottom usually points to a clogged filter, a jammed drain pump, or a kinked drain hose. Sometimes it's the garbage disposal connection — if you just installed a disposal, the knock-out plug may still be in place.
Dead controls or a no-response start usually comes down to power supply, a failed door latch (the unit won't run if it doesn't sense a closed door), or a failed control board.
Grinding, humming, or rattling typically signals a worn wash pump motor, a foreign object in the chopper, or a damaged spray arm bearing. Catch it early and you usually avoid a full pump replacement.
More than convenience — your dishwasher protects time, water, and hygiene in the kitchen.
A properly heated wash cycle sanitizes dishes in a way handwashing rarely matches.
A working dishwasher uses far less water than hand-washing and runs efficient cycles when calibrated correctly.
When the dishwasher dies, every meal turns into a sink full of dishes. Fixing it returns the time it was built to save.
Walk through these basics. If the issue sticks around, our team handles the rest.
Safety first
Always turn off the power at the breaker before reaching into the unit. Skip electrical board work — that's a job for a certified tech.
Wipe down the tub and run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to clear residue and odors.
Pull the spray arm and confirm the holes aren't plugged with food bits or hard-water deposits.
Rinse the bottom filter every month. A clogged filter is the #1 cause of poor cleaning and drainage.
Inspect and wipe the door gasket. Cracked or sticky seals cause slow drips that pool under the unit.

Most dishwasher faults look simple from the outside, but the wash pump, drain pump, float assembly, and control board all interact. Guessing at the wrong part usually means buying twice and still having the same symptom.
Our certified techs run a proper diagnostic, replace only what's failed, and use factory-approved parts so the repair holds up cycle after cycle. We back the work with a written warranty on parts and labor.

Service was scheduled quickly, repairman called with expected arrival time and arrived promptly. Repairs needed were identified and carried out, kitchen was left clean and the refrigerator works! He called the next day to be sure everything was working well. This was an excellent experience throughout.

Dmitro was amazing! He showed promptly when he said he would, explained all my options thoroughly when it came to addressing the obnoxious noises my fridge was making, and had an impressive eye for detail (he managed to empty and then re-place everything in my fridge almost exactly where he had found it! Impressive!) he was kind and easy to work worth.

Great costumer service was able to set up an appointment for a technician to come look at a problem with refrigerator on a next day! Dmitro, the technician, was able to determine an issue with the ice maker in our Bosh 800 series refrigerator. He recommended to replace parts. Ordered them right away and installed on a next visit. It is working perfectly since, making ice again. Thanks! I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a fast, professional solutions.

I was so impressed with Expert Appliance Repair and especially Dmitro. I have used this company before for some refrigerator maintenance and they were awesome then as well. I think what impresses me most is how quickly they respond. Dmitro was professional, polite and personable. He looked at the problem I was having and ordered the parts to be overnighted. He came back the following day, installed the parts efficiently checking to make sure the parts were in correctly and working properly. The parts and repair were very reasonable. I will always use this company for appliance repair and will share their number with my neighbors and friends.

EAR was prompt in responding to our leaky washing machine. Dmitro came and diagnosed the issue, a leaking drain hose. He helped me in finding the correct part on a reliable website. I ordered the part and he returned to fix it. I was very impressed with Dimitro and EAR's performance, and the way they handled the problem professionally. And the whole job was reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend EAR for your appliance repairs since these guys are experts in what they do.
