Brief description

One drawer of this Fisher & Paykel dishwasher would not finish its cycle. In a drawer-style dishwasher, the inlet valve controls water entering the drawer when the cycle calls for it. If the valve does not open properly, the drawer cannot get the water it needs to continue washing. A stopped cycle usually calls for checking both the water supply and the controls that direct the cycle.

What We Did

A previous company had replaced the control board, but that did not solve the problem. We ran deep diagnostics on every component and compared the results with the behavior of the working drawer. That gave us a reference from the same dishwasher instead of assuming the earlier replacement had addressed the fault. Our checks showed that the valve was not opening correctly. We replaced it to address the water supply fault identified during diagnostics. After the replacement, we tested the dishwasher to check its operation. For a similar problem, a homeowner can check that the water supply is turned on without opening the appliance or handling its wiring. If the drawer still fails to run normally, stop using it and arrange an inspection rather than repeatedly restarting it.

Our Dishwasher Repair Process

Book a Time
Choose an open 2-hour arrival window online or call the Vancouver team. Tell us the brand, the model if you have it, and what the dishwasher is doing, so the technician comes with the right parts.
Diagnosis and Written Estimate
The technician tests the dishwasher and explains what failed. You get a written estimate on the spot that lists parts and labor.
You Decide
No repair starts until you approve the estimate. Approve it and the diagnostic fee is waived; decline it and you pay only the diagnostic. If the repair would cost more than about half the price of a comparable new dishwasher, the technician tells you first.
Repair and Warranty
If the technician has the part on hand, the repair usually happens on the same visit. If it has to be ordered, you pick the return time. Pay by card, cash, check or tap. Repairs are covered by a warranty of up to 1 year, depending on the work.
