Water on the kitchen floor, dirty water standing in the tub, a door that will not latch, a panel that stays dark, or dishes that come out as they went in. Built-in, portable and drawer models.
Dishwashers account for 43 of our Athens jobs, across 39 households; 13 came in during the last twelve months.
Athens Runs a Little Above the State on Dishwashers
| Measure | Athens | Georgia | Company-wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher median with a part | $355 | $342 | $338 |
| Middle half | $295 to $440 | $280 to $415 | $275 to $419 |
Put next to the state, Athens is $13 dearer, and next to the company $17 dearer. Both ends of the local middle half are higher too, by $15 at the bottom and $25 at the top. That is the reverse of the Athens washer, which comes in below the state.
A gap of that size on a few dozen repairs says more about which parts went into Athens dishwashers than about the city. It is a guide to the likely bill, not a rate card; your own machine gets its price from the diagnosis.
Where the Water Goes: Leaks and Drains Lead Together
A dishwasher has two jobs with water: get it in and spread it, then get it out. When we read the booking notes on our Athens dishwasher records, the complaints that come up again and again are about the second job, or about water that escapes on the way.
Six Athens records describe a leak: one from the bottom of the machine, one at the door gasket, and one through a hole in a plastic drain part. Five describe water that would not drain, one of them with an E24 code showing on the display. Together that is eleven records, against six records from five customers about a dishwasher that would not start.
Across our company, a leaking dishwasher comes to $340 as a median repair and one that will not drain to $325. Those are two of the lower figures on the dishwasher list, and the parts behind them, a drain pump, a door gasket, an inlet valve, a hose or a clamp, are ones the technician can test on the spot.
If water reaches the floor, switch the dishwasher off, close the supply valve under the sink and put a towel down. Do not run another cycle. Dishwasher leaking from the bottom and dishwasher not draining explain what the technician looks for.
What Each Dishwasher Repair Costs Company-Wide
With too few Athens repairs of any one kind to price separately, the list uses company-wide medians. Each line is the full ticket.
| Repair | Median |
|---|---|
| Spray arm | $283 |
| Door latch or switch | $312 |
| Door gasket | $330 |
| Water inlet valve | $340 |
| Drain pump | $350 |
| Heating element | $362 |
| Circulation motor | $374 |
| Control board | $387 |
| Detergent dispenser | $423 |
The nine lines run from $283 to $423. By complaint, the company figures go from $325 for a dishwasher that will not drain and $340 for a leak, through $348 for one that does not clean and $360 for one that does not dry, to $362 for one that will not start and $380 for a noisy one.
Inside the Athens Dishwasher Notes
Frigidaire leads the brand list FRIGIDAIRE 8 · WHIRLPOOL 6 · BOSCH 4
Eight of the branded Athens dishwasher jobs are Frigidaire, six Whirlpool and four Bosch. KitchenAid and GE follow with 3 each, and Asko, Maytag and Samsung with 1 each.
Parts differ from one maker to the next, so the brand and model number help the technician bring the right drain pump, gasket or board. A long list here means many installed machines, not a weak brand.
Codes on the display BOARD $387 · PUMP $350
Three Athens dishwasher records name an error code: E24 on a machine that had stopped draining, E15 on a Bosch whose panel had gone dark, and E01 after a breaker was reset.
Send a picture of the panel and the model number, and the technician reads the code for that exact dishwasher before arriving. At $387 the board is second only to the detergent dispenser on the list, and a drain pump is $350.
Soft water from the Oconee rivers TOTAL HARDNESS 34 MG/L
Athens-Clarke County Public Utilities draws from Bear Creek Reservoir, the North Oconee River and the Middle Oconee River. A plant sample taken in September 2025, published in the county’s quarterly tap analysis, measured total hardness at 34 mg/L; the USGS calls anything up to 60 mg/L soft.
The manual for your model gives a detergent setting for soft water. Filmy glasses are worth a mention at booking, along with the detergent and the setting you run.
The door that will not close LATCH $312 · GASKET $330
A dishwasher that will not latch will not start, and a gasket that has flattened lets water out along the bottom of the door. Our Athens records include both: a door seal that jammed and a gasket replaced for a leak.
Company-wide the latch comes to $312 and the gasket to $330, among the lower repairs on the list.
Rentals and their landlords 59.3 PERCENT RENTED
Owners live in only 40.7 percent of occupied Athens-Clarke homes; tenants hold the other 59.3 percent, per the Census Bureau’s latest five-year figures. Eight Athens records, across every appliance, name a landlord, an owner who is away, or a tenant.
Give us the number of whoever approves the repair, and we call that person with the diagnosis and the price.
A dishwasher that will not start $362 COMPANY-WIDE
Five Athens customers called about a dishwasher with no power or no response, one of them a portable unit and one with dirty water sitting in the tub. A dead panel can come from the door switch, the board, a thermal fuse, or the supply to the machine.
If a breaker was reset or the dishwasher was pulled out recently, say so. Our notes show a code appearing after exactly that.
Three facts that help the technician
1. Where the water is. Pooled in the tub, seeping at the door, or under the cabinet.
2. What the panel shows. A code, blinking lights, or nothing at all, with a photo if you can.
3. The model number. You will find it on a sticker along the door edge or on the inner tub wall.
Book online, or call (470) 777-7697 and tell us where the water is.
The Symptom and Its Likely Source
- Dirty water left in the tub: the drain pump, a blocked drain hose, or a clogged air gap or disposal connection.
- Water on the floor under the door: the door gasket, a cracked spray arm or a tub seal.
- Water under the cabinet: the fill valve under the door, a fitting that has worked loose, or the pump’s own seal.
- Panel dark, nothing runs: a latch or door switch that never closes the circuit, the board, a blown thermal fuse, or no power reaching the machine.
- Dishes still dirty: the circulation motor, a blocked spray arm or a filter that needs attention.
- Plates still wet when the cycle ends: a heating element that has failed, the thermostat that controls it, or an empty or broken rinse aid dispenser.
- A grind or a hum where the wash should be: something caught in the drain pump, or a circulation motor that is struggling to turn.
The Dishwasher Calendar, Company-Wide
Company-wide, across all requests since January 2023, 9.5 percent of dishwasher bookings arrive in August, more than in any other month, and the fewest in February. Athens alone has too few dishwasher jobs for a month-by-month split.
Whatever the month, a dishwasher that leaks should not wait for the next load. Water under a cabinet can reach the subfloor before anyone sees it.
Athens Postal Areas and the Dishwasher Work
Our Athens dishwasher records come from three postal areas: 20 jobs in 30605, 17 in 30606 and 6 in 30601. None of the dishwasher work so far is in 30607, though we serve it on the same terms.
All appliances combined, the three areas run $346 in 30605, $349 in 30606 and $320 in 30601. By the Census Bureau’s ZIP-to-county file, 30605 sits almost entirely in Clarke County, with 5 percent of its land in Oconee.
The two busiest areas are also the two most populous. Ranked by residents, 30606 comes first at 47,865, then 30605 at 41,544, 30601 at 25,899 and 30607 at 10,700 (Census five-year estimates ending 2024). A larger share of the dishwasher work in 30605 than its population would suggest is simply how the calls have fallen so far, and we do not read more into it.
Where the Dishwasher Sits in the Athens Price List
The Athens total, every appliance in one pool, is $340, and its central half reaches from $283 to $452. That puts the dishwasher $15 higher than the Athens total and $55 short of the refrigerator’s $410.
Across Georgia the all-appliance median is $364. In the state as a whole a dishwasher is one of the less expensive repairs; in Athens it sits closer to the middle. The city overview is on the Athens appliance repair page.

Dishwasher Questions From Athens Customers
How much does dishwasher repair cost in Athens, GA?
Around $355. That is the Athens middle ticket when a part goes into a dishwasher, and half of those tickets sit from $295 to $440, trip and labor included. Once you approve the repair the $99 diagnostic is subtracted, and 90 days of warranty cover what was fitted.
Why is Athens a little higher than Georgia for dishwashers?
Athens comes to $355, Georgia to $342 and the company as a whole to $338. The local figure rests on a few dozen repairs, so it reflects which parts those machines needed more than anything about the city.
My dishwasher is leaking onto the floor. What should I do?
Switch it off, close the supply valve under the sink and do not run another cycle. Leaks are among the complaints we see in Athens notes, and a leak repair comes to $340 as a company-wide median.
Water is standing in the bottom of my dishwasher. What does that cost?
Company-wide, the median bill for a dishwasher that will not drain is $325. The cause can be the drain pump, a blocked hose or a clogged connection at the sink, and the technician finds which before quoting.
Is Athens water hard on dishwashers?
Athens water is soft. The county measured 34 mg/L of total hardness at the treatment plant in September 2025, and the USGS treats up to 60 mg/L as soft. Use the detergent setting your manual gives for soft water.
Which dishwasher brands do you repair in Athens?
Frigidaire is the most frequent make in our Athens dishwasher records, ahead of Whirlpool and Bosch; KitchenAid, GE, Asko, Maytag and Samsung also appear. We repair built-in, portable and drawer models.
My dishwasher shows an error code. Should I send it?
Yes. A picture of the panel and the model number lets the technician read the fault before arriving. Our Athens notes include E24, E15 and E01 codes, and the meaning differs by brand.
