Dishwasher repair in Tampa
We have done 13 dishwasher jobs in Tampa since late August 2025, three of them in New Tampa (33647). That is a small sample, and below is exactly what was in it.
Three machines were not draining, two were leaking, one had a latch problem, one was noisy and one stopped cleaning. We replaced a drain pump and a control board. The brands were GE twice and single machines from LG, Electrolux, Samsung, KitchenAid and Bosch. One Google review from a Tampa customer describes a replacement dishwasher drawer that would not stay on its tracks; that kind of fit problem after an install is part of the job too.
Nine of the 13 became repairs above $100. The middle half cost $225 to $288, median $260, the lowest dishwasher tickets in any of our cities. 33% of visits started within 24 hours and 58% within two days.

Standing water is the most common call
Dishwashers are a smaller part of our Tampa work than washers or refrigerators, so the numbers here are small and we will say so. Of the Tampa dishwasher jobs in our records, the biggest group was machines that would not drain, then leaks. Single calls came in for a door latch, a noisy pump, dishes coming out dirty and dishes coming out wet.
A dishwasher that leaves water in the bottom is usually blocked before it is broken. In order of how often we find them:
- A clogged filter under the lower spray arm. Most dishwashers sold in the last ten years have a manual filter that has to be twisted out and rinsed. Many owners do not know it is there.
- A drain hose kinked behind the cabinet or plugged where it meets the garbage disposal. If a new disposal was just installed, check that the knockout plug inside the disposal inlet was removed. It is a classic.
- A failed drain pump. You hear a hum with no water moving, or nothing at all. This is a real repair, and one of the parts we replaced on a Tampa job last year.
- A control fault that never tells the pump to run. Less common, and the technician checks the pump first.
Leaks
A puddle in front of the door usually means a worn door gasket, a cracked spray arm throwing water at the door seam, or the wrong detergent. Regular dish soap in a dishwasher makes enough foam to push water out past any gasket. A leak under the machine, which you may only notice as a soft spot in the floor or a stain in the cabinet next to it, comes from the pump, the inlet valve or a hose connection. Shut off the water valve under the sink and call; slow leaks under a dishwasher do the most damage.
Dirty dishes, wet dishes
Before anyone opens the machine, check three things. Is the filter clean? Do the spray arms spin freely, with no holes plugged by seeds or glass? Is the hot water reaching the dishwasher hot? Run the kitchen tap until it is hot before you start a cycle. If all three are fine and dishes still come out dirty, the wash pump or the heater is weak. Wet dishes on a newer machine are often normal with no rinse aid; many current models have no drying element and rely on condensation.
What dishwasher repair costs in Tampa
Nine Tampa dishwasher jobs became paid repairs over $100. Their median was $260 and the middle half cost $225 to $288. Across Tampa Bay, with a bigger sample of 38 paid repairs, the median was $261 and half fell between $208 and $288. Dishwashers are the least expensive appliance we repair in Tampa. The $59 service call is credited toward the repair.
Brands
The brands in our Tampa dishwasher jobs were spread out: GE twice, then one each from LG, Electrolux, Samsung, KitchenAid and Bosch. One Tampa customer wrote about a replacement dishwasher drawer that would not stay on its tracks after an install; fixing fit problems like that is part of the work too. Bosch and other European machines are built tighter in the cabinet and take longer to pull out, which is worth knowing if your quote is higher than a neighbor’s GE.
Scheduling
A third of Tampa dishwasher visits started within 24 hours of booking and 58% within two days. A dishwasher that is leaking goes ahead of one that is only draining slowly. You can hand-wash for a day; you cannot leave water running under the cabinet.
Dishwasher repair questions from Tampa
How much does dishwasher repair cost in Tampa?
The median paid dishwasher repair at a Tampa address was $260, with half of repairs between $225 and $288. The $59 service call comes off the repair price.
Why is there water in the bottom of my dishwasher?
Most often a clogged filter or a blocked drain hose. Clean the filter under the lower spray arm and check the hose at the garbage disposal. If the pump hums but nothing drains, the drain pump needs replacing.
My dishwasher is leaking onto the floor. What should I do?
Turn off the water valve under the sink and stop running it. Check that you used dishwasher detergent, not dish soap. If it still leaks, the door gasket, a spray arm, the pump or a hose connection needs a technician.
Do you repair Bosch dishwashers in Tampa?
Yes, along with GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Electrolux and Frigidaire. Bosch error codes like E15 (water in the base) and E24 (drain blockage) help narrow the visit, so tell the dispatcher if you see one.
Is it worth fixing a dishwasher?
With a median Tampa repair of $260, it usually is for a machine under eight to ten years old. On an older builder-grade unit with a failed control board, a new dishwasher may cost about the same, and the technician will point that out.
