Small Faults, Found Early
We repair built-ins and panel-ready units in every kitchen this side of the Sound builds, from 1950s Fircrest galley kitchens where the machine was shoehorned in decades later to new Harbor Hill kitchens where it hides behind cabinetry.
A dishwasher visit starts under the machine, not inside it: we pull the toe-kick, check the base pan for the history of leaks the floor has been hiding, and only then run a diagnostic cycle. Water damage discovered early is a repair; discovered late it is a flooring contractor.
Soft Tacoma water changes the playbook here too — film on glassware around here is usually detergent and rinse-aid overdose, not minerals. Sometimes the honest fix is a dosage change and a cleaning cycle, and we are happy for the visit to be that cheap.
Pumps, inlet valves, spray arms, gaskets, latches and boards are all field-repairable. If the tub itself is cracked, we say the machine is done — no heroics billed by the hour.
Symptoms We Hear on the Phone
- Water pooled in the sump after every cycle
- Glasses coming out gritty or filmed
- Leak-protection error and a machine that refuses to start
- Door gasket dripping onto the toe-kick
- Cycle runs hours longer than it used to
- Buttons dead or lights blinking a code
