A malfunctioning dishwasher disrupts more than dinner cleanup—it can throw off an entire kitchen schedule and inflate household water usage. Knowing the expected dishwasher repair cost helps homeowners make fast, confident decisions and keeps residential contractors on budget. At CountBricks, our AI-driven estimate engine delivers real-time cost intelligence, turning guesswork into reliable numbers you can share with clients in minutes.
• Appliance age and brand complexity
• Nature of the fault—electrical, mechanical, or plumbing
• Availability of replacement parts in your region
• Labor rate variances across neighborhoods
• Urgency of the service call (standard, same-day, after-hours)
Some brands use proprietary components that can only be sourced through select distributors, while older dishwashers may require retrofitting. CountBricks pulls local materials pricing and labor rates in real time, so your estimate reflects current market conditions down to the ZIP code.
Based on thousands of recent residential projects logged through CountBricks.com/services, the following benchmark ranges apply:
• Minor fixes (door latch, spray arm, gasket replacement): $95 – $180
• Mid-level issues (pump, drain hose, float switch): $175 – $300
• Major repairs (control board, motor, heater assembly): $320 – $600
Labor usually represents 50-60 % of the final dishwasher repair cost. By contrast, a full dishwasher replacement—including delivery, installation, haul-away, and minor cabinetry adjustments—averages $900 – $1,400. Sharing these figures helps homeowners compare repair versus replacement without surprises.
1. Age exceeds 10 years and repair exceeds 50 % of replacement cost
2. Repeated breakdowns within a 12-month cycle
3. Client is planning a kitchen remodel and prefers upgraded efficiency
CountBricks estimators can model both scenarios side by side, empowering transparent conversations that build trust and speed approvals.
• Voice-to-estimate technology captures the technician’s on-site observations in seconds
