Expert Dishwasher Repair Services in La Jolla

A dishwasher is a modern convenience that saves hours of manual labor. When it stops working, the kitchen chaos begins. Whether your dishes are coming out dirty, the machine leaves puddles on the floor, or it refuses to start, La Jolla A-Tech is here to help. We provide specialized dishwasher repair services for all major brands, ensuring your kitchen runs smoothly again.


Modern dishwashers are complex machines with soil sensors, variable speed pumps, and heated drying systems. Our certified technicians are trained to diagnose issues accurately, from simple clogged filters to failed control modules. We are experts in high-end European models like Bosch and Miele, as well as dependable domestic brands like KitchenAid and Whirlpool.


We believe in doing the job right the first time. Our service trucks are stocked with common parts like inlet valves, drain pumps, and spray arm seals, allowing us to complete many repairs in a single visit. We treat your home with respect, protecting your floors and cabinetry while we work.

Common Dishwasher Issues We Solve

Professional solutions for all cleaning and draining problems

Dishes Not Cleaning

Spots, food residue, or grit left on dishes? We clean clogged spray arms, check turbidity sensors, and ensure the circulation pump is providing good pressure.

Dishwasher Not Draining

Standing water in the bottom? It's often a clogged filter, blocked air gap, or failed drain pump. We clear the blockage and get the water flowing again.

Leaking Water

Water leaks can damage cabinets and floors. We replace worn door seals, leaking pump seals, and loose hose connections to make your appliance watertight.

Dishes Not Drying

If plates come out soaking wet, the heating element, vent fan, or thermostat may be faulty. We fix dryer systems to ensure spot-free, dry dishes.

Loud Noises

Grinding or buzzing sounds? Debris like broken glass or pits might be stuck in the chopper blade or pump impeller. We dismantle and clean the pump assembly.

Won't Start / No Power

Dead user interface or unresponsive buttons? We troubleshoot door latch switches, thermal fuses, and electronic control boards to restore power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my dishwasher leaving white film on glasses?

This is often hard water buildup or excessive detergent. It can also be a sign that the water softener system (in high-end models) needs salt or repair. We can test your water hardness and adjust settings.

My dishwasher doesn't dissolve the detergent tablet. Why?

The dispenser door might be blocked by tall plates, or the water isn't getting hot enough (needs to be 120�F+). A failed circulation pump can also prevent dissolving. We check all these factors.

Is it worth fixing a 5-year-old dishwasher?

Yes. The average lifespan is 10 years. Repairs like pumps or valves are cost-effective. However, if the tub is rusted through or the main control board and motor both fail, we might advise replacement.

Do you service Fisher & Paykel DishDrawers?

Yes, we are one of the few local companies trained on DishDrawer systems. We fix lid seal errors, drawer slides, and independent motor issues.

Why is there water at the bottom of my dishwasher?

A small amount near the filter is normal, but a puddle means drainage failure. Check your sink disposal first�if that's clear, call us to check the drain pump and check valve.

How do I clean my dishwasher filter?

Most modern units have a manual filter at the bottom. Twist and pull it out, rinse it under hot water, and scrub with a soft brush. Do this monthly to prevent odors and wash issues.

Can you replace the door spring or cable?

Yes. If your door falls heavy like a rock, the spring or friction cable snapped. We replace the balance mechanism to prevent injury and door damage.

Do you install dishwashers too?

Our primary focus is repair, but we can perform reinstallations if we have to pull the unit out for service. For fresh installs, we can recommend trusted partners.

Customer Reviews

★★★★★

"Our Bosch dishwasher kept giving an E15 error code, which meant a leak. La Jolla A-Tech tech found a hairline crack in the sump. He replaced the part efficiently. He was very knowledgeable about Bosch systems. Highly recommended!"

- David K., Village

★★★★★

"Dishes were coming out dirty for weeks. I thought the machine was dead. The technician showed me how the upper spray arm was clogged with debris. He cleaned it out and checked the pump. Saved me from buying a new $1000 machine!"

- Linda M., Bird Rock

★★★★★

"We have a double drawer dishwasher that wouldn't lock. The tech arrived on time, was very polite, and fixed the lid actuator motor. It's rare to find someone who knows how to fix these drawers properly."

- Gregory S., Mt. Soledad
