Anyone know of someone who fixes dishwashers?

We have a Kenmore dishwasher that was there when we bought the house. It works but when you run it half way through water squirts out the front left. I think there is something wrong with the rubber on the inside. We are thinking about buying a new one but want to get an estimate to fix. Know anyone who gives free estimates with no service charge to come look at it? Thanks!

Do you know if it is still covered under warranty? or where you or the previous owner purchased it? You can try and call up the store and ask them.

Unfortunately they left no paperwork so I don't know. It looks older then 3 years though. Its tough because if it is going to cost me $150 or so to fix I would rather get a new one with full service warranty.

Thanks for the suggestion. Chat Icon

It might just be your hose that is bad and if it is it is a $15 hose from home depot.

Don't laugh I just went through this myself and ended up getting a new dishwasher only b/c my parents were sick and tired of me complaining and got it for hubby and me as b-day presents.

In the front of the dishwasher there is the bottom panel that comes off with screws (probally 4) well on the left hand side there is a hose that looks like a metal mesh that is probally lose or rotted. Shut off the water under the sink and see if you can replace that hose ( I would shut off the power too just incase).

If you do a search online to dishwasher repairs or replacing a dishwasher it gives you pictures and everything.

I was actually going to do it myself but I couldnt get the water turned off so my husband had to do it, it honestly didnt look too difficult.
Good luck.

Ps In case you are scared to do it any plumber can help u with that.
