What We Fix
A high-end dishwasher hides its complexity behind a custom cabinet panel: a circulation pump, a drain pump, a heated or condensation drying system, and a control board coordinating them through a stack of sensors. Boulder's hard water adds scale to the mix, which shows up as poor cleaning and cloudy glassware long before a part actually fails. We service integrated and panel-ready dishwashers across the high-end field.
- Panel-ready and integrated dishwashers with custom cabinet fronts
- Drain pumps, circulation pumps, and check valves
- Inlet valves, float switches, and leak-detection sensors
- Heating elements and condensation drying systems
- Door seals, latches, and hinge tension springs
- Spray arms, filters, and sump assemblies clogged by hard water
- Control boards, touch panels, and cycle faults
Common Problems We See
- Standing water after the cycle. A clogged filter or hose, a jammed drain pump, or a failed check valve.
- Water on the floor. A tired door seal, a cracked sump, or a leak-sensor tray that filled.
- Dishes come out wet. Empty rinse aid, a failed vent, or a heater not warming the final rinse.
- Poor cleaning. Scale-clogged spray arms and filters, or a weak circulation pump.
- Cycle stops or throws a code. A float, thermistor, or control fault.
Typical Causes
Drainage problems dominate dishwasher calls, and most are mechanical: a filter and sump packed with food, a drain hose kinked behind the cabinet, or a drain pump with debris wrapped around the impeller. Leaks come from the door seal and the sump more than anywhere else, and the leak-detection tray many high-end units carry will shut the machine down the moment it senses water, which reads as a dead dishwasher but is really a small drip. Wet dishes are usually a drying-system or rinse-aid issue rather than a broken machine. We clear, test, and measure before replacing.

Symptom Reference
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| Standing water | Clogged filter, hose, or drain pump | Clear filter and sump, test and free the drain pump |
| Leaking at the door | Worn seal or leak-tray tripped | Replace seal, dry tray, find and fix the source |
| Dishes still wet | Rinse aid, vent, or heater fault | Fill dispenser, test vent and element, replace as needed |
| Poor cleaning | Scaled spray arms or weak pump | Descale arms and filter, test circulation pump |
| Cycle stops or codes | Float, thermistor, or control fault | Read code, verify sensor, replace failed part |
