Factors that affect the cost of dishwasher repairs
- Written by a contributor
Today's dishwashers are made to last a few good years and mostly require very little maintenance. They often include components made from brass and stainless steel with electronic touch pads as a requirement for the modern day consumer. Well what can we say? if you don’t have that magic touch of electronics, you’re not going to get a lot of customers nowadays.
The downside of that of course is, if any of these parts, especially the electronic ones fail, you’re looking at an extra bill which is supposedly not included in your monthly budget. Of course the repair cost varies, depending on the issue of your dishwasher, but it's not hard to imagine. Some repair technicians will cost you a couple hundred dollars excluding the spare parts. Some, on the other hand, start with a fixed flat rate for any simple repairs, but immediately go back to an hourly rate when they discover that it’s a complex fix.
Overall, however, your best and least expensive option when it comes to issues with your dishwasher is hiring a dishwasher repair technician. If you would like to try your hand first in trying to fix your dishwasher, you may refer to https://www.thespruce.com/dishwasher-repair-guide-4154049 for a few specific steps on how to repair your dishwasher.

To give you a heads up on what it might cost you, most appliance handymen in Australia charge an hourly rate and that’s not including the cost of materials. Most technicians will charge you a 20% markup over the wholesale price for spare parts and materials. It is always worth noting that the cost will vary depending on the extent of the damage of your dishwasher. Some of the most common problems that we encounter with our dishwashers are; the exhaust is not working, in this case you might have to replace the exhaust system of your appliance; the dishes are not clean which probably means the filter is broken and replacement is absolutely needed, and electrical or electronic problems are not cheap expenses and it can be very frustrating for the average homeowner.
When your dishwasher breaks, the first thing to do is not panic. Don’t overreact, thinking it’s going to cost you a handsome amount of money just to avoid the inconvenience of having a broken dishwasher. In most cases, the better thing to do is avoid trying to fix the issue by yourself. Yes you may check for possible reasons why your dishwasher is not working and hopefully it’s not that big of an issue. But for most of us, to avoid further damage and inconvenience, the best thing to do is call for help.
