Dishwasher Repair Lawrenceville GA
Dishwasher repair in Lawrenceville, GA has a median cost of $342 once a part is replaced, and $239 across every completed visit, and it is the lowest-risk repair decision in this city: exactly one of our 69 local dishwasher jobs went above $500. Those come from 69 jobs across the four Lawrenceville ZIP codes for 61 households, 48 of which closed as paid work, and the file goes back to 2023, longer than our dryer or washer records here.
Two numbers shape this page. Twenty-nine of the 48 paid visits finished with a part fitted, and the checks still come before the price list below, because a dishwasher produces more self-fixable symptoms than anything else in the kitchen.
And when there is a real fault, it is more often electronic than mechanical: our local record holds a GE user interface at $428, a control board at $411 and a board reset at $165, alongside two drain pumps at $326 and $363.
Dishwasher Repair in Lawrenceville, GA
Standing water in the bottom, dishes coming out dirty or filmed, leaking, will not start, will not latch, not drying, cycle stopping part way. All four Lawrenceville ZIP codes, total confirmed before the work starts.
What a Dishwasher Repair Costs, by the Part That Failed
Twenty-six local repairs cannot honestly price nine components, so the table below comes from 2,684 completed dishwasher jobs across our whole service area. Every figure is the full ticket: the part, the labor and the service call together.
| What failed | Median total | Jobs (n) | What you notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spray arm | $283 | 12 | One rack dirty, the other clean |
| Door latch or door switch | $312 | 28 | Will not start, or stops when the door moves |
| Door gasket | $330 | 42 | Water on the floor at the door line |
| Water inlet valve | $340 | 37 | No fill, slow fill, or filling when off |
| Drain pump | $350 | 273 | Standing water after every cycle, humming |
| Heating element | $362 | 40 | Dishes wet at the end of the cycle |
| Circulation motor | $374 | 122 | Fills and drains but never really washes |
| Control board or user interface | $387 | 93 | Dead panel, lights flashing, cycle will not advance |
| Detergent dispenser | $423 | 27 | Tablet still in the cup at the end |
Our own Lawrenceville invoices divide into three groups. Electronics first, because that is where this city’s dishwasher money goes: a GE user interface at $428, a control board replacement at $411, and — the cheap version of the same complaint — a board reset at $165 on a Roper machine, labor only.
Two further visits had a main board diagnosed and the repair quoted, one of them at $413, each settled for the $99 diagnostic. Drainage second: a drain pump at $363, a Whirlpool drain pump at $326, and a Frigidaire where the fix was cleaning the drain line and the pump rather than replacing anything, at $203.
Third, the honest group: a visit written up simply as no leaks found at $79. That is 40 percent of paid visits, and it is the reason this page leads with the checks rather than the price table. The whole-city price list is on the Lawrenceville city hub.
Why Lawrenceville Dishwashers Fail the Way They Do
Two dishwashers in five need nothing at all 19 OF 48
Twenty-nine of our 48 paid Lawrenceville dishwasher visits ended with a part fitted, the highest share of any appliance in this cluster, and in 30043 it is 11 of 22. We publish that because you should know it before you spend $99, and because the pattern is boringly consistent: the filter, the knockout plug, the drain loop, the spray arms and the water temperature account for most of it.
A dishwasher is also the appliance people misread most often, because it fails gradually. Film on glasses, a gritty top rack, a cycle that finishes with a puddle in the sump — all of those feel like a machine dying, and all of them are usually maintenance rather than repair.
One of our local visits is written up as no leaks found, at $79, after the customer had watched water appear on the floor: it was coming from the sink cabinet, not the machine.
The $99 diagnostic still applies when the answer is free advice, and it comes off the bill if any repair follows, which is why running the five checks above first is worth five minutes of your time.
When it is real, it is usually the board rather than the pump $165 TO $428
Our Lawrenceville dishwasher repairs lean electronic in a way the other appliances here do not: a GE user interface at $428, a control board at $411, two more boards diagnosed and quoted at the diagnostic, one at $413. Against that, only two drain pumps, at $326 and $363.
The reason is partly the age of the machines, since a dishwasher installed with a 1990s or 2000s subdivision house has usually been replaced once and the replacement is a touch-panel model, and partly the local grid.
Gwinnett sits on four different power utilities — the City of Lawrenceville’s own Electric Department inside the city limits, and Georgia Power, Jackson EMC, Walton EMC or Sawnee EMC outside — and after the storms of early June 2025 Jackson EMC alone still had 6,229 customers out in Gwinnett on the evening of 9 June.
A dishwasher is not running when the lights go out, but its board sits on the circuit and every restoration is a surge event. Two practical notes: try one hard reset at the breaker when you book, because a board that has locked up is not always a board that has failed, and that is exactly what the $165 Roper job turned out to be.
And if you have already lost a board, a whole-house surge protector costs less than the next one. More in control board and smart appliance repair.
Lake Lanier water, and why filmed glasses here are usually not the machine 200 MGD
All four ZIP codes drink from Lake Sidney Lanier, treated by Gwinnett County Water Resources at the Lanier Filter Plant and Shoal Creek, which together produce more than 200 million gallons a day using ozone biofiltration; the Lanier plant was the Georgia Association of Water Professionals Plant of the Year in 2021.
We do not publish a hardness figure for Gwinnett, because the county’s own water quality report does not state one, and we will not repeat a number we cannot stand behind. What we can say is what we find. In geographies with a patchwork of wells or a single ageing plant, we spend real time on scale and sediment inside dishwashers.
Here the most common cause of a white film on glassware is not the water and not the machine: it is a cool first fill in a house where the kitchen is a long pipe run from the water heater, or rinse aid that ran out months ago, or detergent pods stored in a damp cupboard.
Run the hot tap at the sink before the cycle, keep the rinse aid reservoir filled, and use a machine cleaner once a quarter. If the film survives all three, then it is worth a visit, and the likely candidates are the circulation motor at $374 or blocked spray arm jets at $283.
Whirlpool and GE are half the city, and both ride on the van 35 OF 69
By badge our Lawrenceville dishwasher file runs GE 18 jobs, Whirlpool 17, Samsung 8, Frigidaire 7, then two Bosch, two Maytag, two LG, a Miele and a Roper.
GE and Whirlpool together are more than half the file, and that is good news for your schedule: their common parts — drain pumps, latches, spray arms, user interfaces — ride on the van, so those repairs usually finish on the first visit.
The outcomes differ a little too. Frigidaire repairs are the cheapest here at a $294 median across 6 jobs with a part, GE sits at $359 across 7, Whirlpool at $326 across 7, Samsung at $383 across 2.
The two Bosch machines carry the highest median at $397, which is the imported-parts pattern rather than a fragility pattern: Bosch, Miele and LG components are ordered rather than carried, and you get the lead time before you approve the repair.
If your machine is fully integrated with a cabinet panel on the door, say so when you book, because the panel has to come off before the unit can be drawn out. What brand counts do and do not say about reliability is on the most-serviced appliance brands.
The disposal is the most common third party in a dishwasher fault KNOCKOUT PLUG
Most dishwashers in these subdivisions drain into the garbage disposal under the sink, and that connection produces two faults we see repeatedly.
The first is the knockout plug: a new disposal ships with the dishwasher inlet sealed by a plastic disc, and if the installer did not knock it out, the dishwasher cannot drain at all — from day one, which is why this shows up right after a kitchen refit rather than after years of service.
The second is a disposal that has itself failed or jammed, taking the dishwasher’s drain path with it; one of our 30043 jobs in this cluster is a garbage disposal replacement at $847, which is a plumbing repair rather than an appliance one, and we say so rather than pricing it as a dishwasher job.
The practical test takes a minute: run the disposal, then start a rinse cycle and listen for the pump. If the water goes nowhere and the disposal is fine, the loop or the filter is next, and after that the drain pump at $350. One local Frigidaire needed only the drain line and pump cleaned out, at $203.
One job above $500 in three years, which makes this an easy decision 1 OF 69
Across 69 Lawrenceville dishwasher jobs and three years, exactly one closed above $500. Compare that with the refrigerator page, where 20 of 114 paid visits did.
It means the dishwasher is the appliance where you are least likely to face a real repair-or-replace argument in this city: at $342 with a part against a new mid-range machine plus delivery, haul-away and installation, repair wins on anything that is not physically broken open.
The exceptions are narrow and worth naming. A cracked plastic tub cannot be sealed reliably and will leak into the cabinet floor again. A rusted-out rack system is surprisingly expensive as spare parts. And a control board on a machine already past ten years is a genuine question at $387 to $428, which is where two of our local customers stopped.
Everything else — pumps, latches, gaskets, spray arms, dispensers, valves — is worth fixing. Service lives are in how long dishwashers last.
🚚 18 Lawrenceville dishwasher jobs in the last twelve months and 69 on record since 2023, with GE and Whirlpool parts on the van. Our shop is at 478 Loganville Highway in Winder, about twenty minutes east.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Standing water in the bottom after every cycle — the filter, the disposal knockout plug and the drain loop first, all free, then the drain pump at $350. Our two local pumps were $326 and $363, and one Frigidaire needed only the drain line and pump cleaned at $203.
- Dishes come out gritty, or the top rack stays dirty — blocked spray arm jets at $283, or the circulation motor at $374 if the machine fills and drains but never really washes. Spin the arms by hand when you book.
- White film on glassware — usually not a fault at all: a cool first fill, empty rinse aid, or old detergent. Run the hot tap at the sink first, fill the rinse aid, and use a machine cleaner. If it persists, then it is worth a visit.
- Dead panel, nothing lights up — try one hard reset at the breaker, then the board or user interface at $387. Locally that has gone both ways: a $165 reset with no part on a Roper, and a $428 GE user interface.
- Will not start although the panel works — the door latch or door switch at $312, which the machine treats as a safety interlock. On an integrated door the latch is often maladjusted rather than broken after the panel has been off.
- Water on the kitchen floor — the door gasket at $330, a hose, or something else entirely: one of our local visits found no leak in the machine at all. Check the sink cabinet and the disposal connection when you book.
- Dishes soaking wet at the end — the heating element at $362, or on a condensation-dry machine, nothing: plastics in the top rack stay wet by design. We will tell you which you have rather than replace an element that works.
Where the Dishwasher Work Is, Across the Four ZIP Codes
One price list covers all four.
30043 leads with 30 jobs, 22 of them paid, 11 repairs at a $396 median — the highest in the cluster, out of 22 paid. 30044 is close behind at 27 jobs, 18 paid, 10 repairs at $333. 30045 is 7 jobs and 30046 is 5, which are not samples and we will not build arguments on them, though both sit lower, at $301 and $275 respectively.
Read the two large ZIP codes together and the honest summary is that 30043, the newer subdivision side toward Suwanee, produces both the most expensive dishwasher repairs and the most visits that need nothing, which fits a market of touch-panel machines about a decade old. The same $99 diagnostic and the same 90-day parts and labor warranty apply in all four.
Repair or Replace, on the Lawrenceville Numbers
At $342 with a part against a comparable new dishwasher plus delivery, haul-away and installation, repair wins clearly on anything under about eight years old, and in this city the arithmetic is unusually favourable because the tail is so short: one job above $500 in 69, and a middle half of $296 to $396.
The decision narrows in three places. A control board or user interface on a machine already past ten years is a real question at $387 to $428, and two of our local households answered it by replacing. A cracked tub is not a repair. And a rack system that has rusted through costs more in parts than it should.
Two cases run toward repair harder than people expect. An integrated or imported machine — the Bosch and Miele units in our file — has to be uninstalled, unpanelled and refitted to be replaced, so a $400 repair usually still beats a swap.
And a dishwasher that has simply never drained properly since a kitchen refit is not a broken machine at all: it is a knockout plug or a missing drain loop, and that is a diagnostic visit rather than a replacement.

Dishwasher Repair in Lawrenceville — Questions We Get
How much does dishwasher repair cost in Lawrenceville, GA?
The median is $342 once a part is replaced and $239 across all completed visits, from 48 paid dishwasher jobs across the four Lawrenceville ZIP codes, with a local middle half of $296 to $396. Exactly one job in 69 went above $500, which makes this the lowest-risk appliance decision in the city.
By component, company-wide and including the part, the labor and the service call: spray arm $283, door latch $312, door gasket $330, water inlet valve $340, drain pump $350, heating element $362, circulation motor $374, control board or user interface $387, detergent dispenser $423. The diagnostic is $99 and it is applied to the repair when you approve the work.
Sixty percent of your visits end with a part fitted. What should I check first?
Five things, and they take five minutes. Rinse the cylindrical filter in the sump. Check the knockout plug was removed from the garbage disposal inlet if the disposal was fitted after the dishwasher, because otherwise the machine has never been able to drain. Make sure the drain hose rises in a loop above the tub before it reaches the disposal or standpipe.
Spin both spray arms and check the jets are clear. And run the kitchen hot tap until the water is genuinely hot before starting the cycle, because a dishwasher expects around 120 °F and in a large house the first fill can arrive cool. Twenty-nine of our 48 paid Lawrenceville visits ended with a part fitted, and those five checks account for most of them.
There is standing water in the bottom. Do I need a new pump?
Often not. Start with the filter, the knockout plug and the drain loop, then run the garbage disposal and start a rinse cycle to hear whether the pump is trying. In our Lawrenceville file only two jobs needed a drain pump, at $326 and $363 against a company-wide $350, while one Frigidaire was resolved by cleaning the drain line and the pump for $203.
If the disposal itself has failed it takes the dishwasher’s drain path with it, which is a plumbing repair rather than an appliance one, and one job in this cluster was a garbage disposal replacement at $847. We tell you which of those you have before quoting anything.
My glasses come out with a white film. Is the dishwasher broken?
Usually not. We do not publish a hardness figure for Gwinnett water, because the county’s own water quality report does not state one, and the county’s supply is a single well-treated source: Lake Sidney Lanier, treated at two plants using ozone biofiltration, with the Lanier Filter Plant named Georgia Association of Water Professionals Plant of the Year in 2021.
In practice the film in a Lawrenceville kitchen usually comes from one of three things: a cool first fill, because the kitchen is a long pipe run from the water heater, an empty rinse aid reservoir, or detergent that has aged in a damp cupboard.
Fix those three first. If the film survives, the likely candidates are blocked spray arm jets at $283 or the circulation motor at $374.
The panel is dead. Is that a control board?
Maybe, and it is worth one hard reset at the breaker when you book, because a board that has locked up is not always a board that has failed. One of our Lawrenceville machines, a Roper, was fixed exactly that way for $165 with no part at all.
When the board really has gone, our local record shows a GE user interface at $428 and a control board replacement at $411, against a company-wide $387, and two further visits where a main board was diagnosed and the repair quoted, one at $413, and the household went with a new machine.
Gwinnett is served by four different electricity utilities and storms hit boards hard here: after the storms of early June 2025 Jackson EMC alone still had 6,229 customers out in the county on 9 June, so a surge protector is a reasonable investment after a board failure.
Do you work on Bosch, Miele and other imported dishwashers?
Yes. Our Lawrenceville file runs GE 18 jobs, Whirlpool 17, Samsung 8, Frigidaire 7, two Bosch, two Maytag, two LG, one Miele and one Roper. GE and Whirlpool parts ride on the van, which is why more than half the work here finishes on the first visit.
Bosch, Miele and LG components are ordered, and the two Bosch machines in our record carry the highest local median at $397, which reflects parts rather than fragility.
If the machine is fully integrated with a cabinet panel on the door, mention it when you book: the panel has to come off before the unit can be drawn out, and we allow the extra time rather than discovering it on arrival.
Do you cover all four Lawrenceville ZIP codes at the same price?
Yes, one price list and no travel surcharge in 30043, 30044, 30045 and 30046. Dishwasher work splits 30 jobs in 30043, 27 in 30044, 7 in 30045 and 5 in 30046, with 18 of the 69 in the last twelve months and the file going back to 2023.
With-a-part medians are $396 in 30043 and $333 in 30044; the two smaller ZIP codes sit at $301 and $275 on three and two repairs respectively, so treat those as indicative rather than firm. Diagnostic-only rates are highest in 30043 at 11 of 22 paid visits. The $99 diagnostic and the 90-day parts and labor warranty are identical everywhere.
