Same-day and next-day service across all of Abilene. Licensed and insured. 90-day warranty on every repair.
A dishwasher that leaves standing water or dirty dishes turns into a real headache fast. Hand-washing every load eats up your evening, and a slow leak can damage your floor and cabinets. Our dishwasher repair Abilene team finds the problem and fixes it fast, usually the same day or the next, with an upfront price before any work begins.
We fix every style of dishwasher, from standard built-in units to drawer, portable, and countertop models. Built-in units are the most common in Abilene homes and the most straightforward to service. We repair Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Kenmore, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Amana, and Bosch, including higher-end models that need brand-specific parts.
Property managers and businesses can ask about priority scheduling.
Drainage problems top the list. When a dishwasher will not drain, you find standing water at the bottom after the cycle, and the usual causes are a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose, or a failed drain pump. A lack of water coming in is the next most common fault, often a bad inlet valve. Both problems are fixable and rarely mean the whole machine is finished.
A small leak or drain issue can spread water damage under your cabinets, so it pays to call early.
Most dishwasher repairs land between $100 and $300, with a national average near $225 according to Angi. Simple fixes like a clogged filter or spray arm cost less, while pump, motor, or control panel work costs more. We charge a flat diagnostic fee, commonly $50 to $80, and it goes toward your repair when you book with us.

| Water inlet valve | $80 – $170 |

Ranges reflect 2026 national data from Angi, Fixr, and HomeGuide. Your final quote depends on the brand, the part, and the model.
The motor and the control board are the priciest fixes. A motor replacement runs $350 to $500, and a control panel or board can reach $500, since both take heavy labor and often brand-specific parts. On premium brands like Bosch or KitchenAid, a major pump or control failure can climb even higher. When one of these fails on an older unit, replacement is usually the better value.
It depends on age and cost. A good rule of thumb is the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new dishwasher, replace it. New units run $500 to $1,300, so a $150 pump or a $100 hose on a newer machine is worth fixing. But a $400 control board on a 10-year-old unit usually is not.
Dishwashers last about 8 to 12 years on average. If yours is under eight years old and the repair is minor, fixing it is almost always the smart call. When we diagnose yours, we give you an honest answer, even when that means telling you to replace it.

Usually, yes, if the repair is minor. A 7-year-old unit still has life left, so a pump, hose, or valve fix is worth it. A costly control board or motor may lean toward replacement.
