Dishwasher repairs at your place
A dishwasher that leaves dishes dirty, floods the kitchen or shows an error code is no use to anyone. Kobe comes to your home and gets it working again.
He repairs built-in, freestanding and drawer dishwashers across Brisbane Northside and the Redlands. Most jobs are on Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Bosch and Electrolux.
Kobe tells you what is wrong before he does anything, so you know what the repair involves.

Common dishwasher faults Kobe fixes
Won't drain or water left in the bottom
A blocked filter, a clogged drain hose or a failed drain pump are the usual causes. Food scraps and broken glass can jam the pump. Kobe clears the blockage and tests the pump.
Leaking onto the floor
Door seals, hose connections, the pump housing and the inlet valve can all leak. Many dishwashers have a safety system that stops the cycle when water collects in the base. Kobe finds the source and replaces the failed part.
Dishes not coming out clean
Blocked spray arms, a dirty filter, a weak circulation pump or low water fill all affect cleaning. Kobe checks each of these and repairs the cause.
Not heating or dishes come out wet
A failed heating element or a faulty temperature sensor leaves water cool and dishes damp. Kobe tests both and replaces the faulty one.
Won't start or stops mid cycle
A faulty door latch, a control board problem or a failed inlet valve can stop the cycle. Kobe tests the parts in order and repairs the fault.
Error code or flashing lights
Codes usually relate to water level, drainage, heating or a leak sensor. Kobe reads the code, then checks the part behind it so nothing is replaced unnecessarily.
Quick checks before you book
These are safe to try and sometimes save you a call-out.
- Check the power is on at the wall or at the switch for the dishwasher.
- Make sure the door is shut properly and the latch clicks.
- Check the water tap to the dishwasher is open if you can reach it.
- Look at the filter in the bottom of the tub and remove any food scraps.
- Note any error code or flashing light pattern and the model number inside the door.

Why is there water in the bottom of my dishwasher?
Most often the filter or drain hose is blocked, or the drain pump has failed. Kobe checks the whole drain path and fixes the cause.
My dishwasher is leaking. Is it safe to keep using it?
Stop using it, switch it off at the wall and turn off the water if you can. A leak can damage cabinets and floors. Call us and describe where the water is coming from.
