Dishwasher Repair in High Point, NC
Our High Point dishwasher book holds five jobs in five separate households, three of which ended with work done. Three invoices is a sample rather than a price and we say so up front: $206, $269 and $466. The two that name the work are both on the drain path — a reconnect with an air gap installed at $206, and a drain line cleared at $269.
That matters more than three invoices normally would, because our High Point refrigerator page shows the same thing: three of its five repairs also cleared a blocked drain line. Company-wide our dishwasher median is $338 across 2,684 repairs, and every figure below the fold is the company book, labelled.

What Dishwasher Repair Costs — Company Figures Across 2,684 Repairs

Why High Point Dishwasher Work Looks the Way It Does
The drain path is this city’s signature across two appliances 5 OF 8 REPAIRS
Two of the three dishwasher jobs and three of the five refrigerator jobs in High Point were drain work — five of the eight identifiable repairs across both appliances. Six invoices in one appliance would prove nothing; the same pattern showing up in two different machines is at least worth stating.
Both appliances rely on gravity moving water somewhere it can leave, and both fail in the same undramatic way: the water backs up, and what the household sees is a puddle or a smell rather than a machine that has stopped.
We are not going to build a theory about the plumbing stock of a city out of eight jobs, but if you are calling us here about water where it should not be, you are in the most common category we have.
Clearing a drain cost $269 where replacing the pump is $350 AND THE PUMP IS OUR COMMONEST PART
Company-wide the drain pump is the part we replace most in a dishwasher — 273 of 2,684 repairs at a median of $350. Our High Point job cleared the line for $269 instead, because the pump was working and the restriction was downstream of it.
Those two faults present identically: water sitting in the base after a cycle. Only one of them needs a new part. That is the argument for having the machine assessed rather than ordering a pump on the strength of a symptom, and it is the second time on this page that the cheaper answer was the right one.
Every paid visit here was a paid visit for a reason 3 OF 5 ENDED WITH WORK
All five High Point dishwasher jobs were paid visits and three ended with work on the machine or its plumbing. The other two were assessments at $99, which is applied to the repair whenever one follows. For comparison, our Greensboro dishwasher book runs 13 jobs with one component repair.
Five jobs is too small to compare cities on, and we would rather print that sentence than a percentage that sounds authoritative on a sample of five.
Three brands, three jobs, and no history behind any of it KITCHENAID · GE · MAYTAG
Only three of the five work orders name a brand, one each: KitchenAid, GE and Maytag. Company-wide our dishwasher work runs GE 24.3 percent, Whirlpool 20.8, Frigidaire 13.8, Samsung 12.5 and Bosch 11.7 across 3,098 jobs. Three named jobs is not a distribution and there is nothing to read into it.
What is worth stating plainly: every High Point work order dates from March 2026, when the route opened, and the dishwasher is the one appliance in our whole book whose seasonal curve runs against everything else — peaking in January company-wide rather than in summer. Five months of data cannot tell you whether this city follows that.
Three details are worth telling us at booking, because each changes what the technician checks first: whether water is left standing after a cycle, whether the plumbing or a garbage disposal has been changed recently, and whether there is an air gap on the sink deck. Those three answers separate a plumbing problem from a machine problem before anyone opens the door.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Water sitting in the base after a cycle — the most common dishwasher call we take anywhere at a company median of $325 across 416 jobs, and the most common one in this city. It can be the drain pump at $350, or a restriction in the line, the filter, a missing or blocked air gap, or a garbage disposal knockout plug left in place after new plumbing. Our local job cleared the line for $269.
- Dirty water appearing in the tub between cycles — a siphon problem rather than a machine problem: no air gap, a blocked one, or a drain hose that is not looped high enough. Our $206 local job installed an air gap during a reconnect.
- Smell of stale waste from the machine — usually the filter and sump, sometimes the same siphon issue pulling waste water back. Cleaning rather than replacement puts it right in most cases.
- Leaking onto the floor — the door gasket at a company $330 or the inlet valve at $340. Company median for a leak call is $340 across 331 jobs. Worth saying at booking whether the water shows at the door or from under the cabinet, because those are different repairs.
- Dishes come out gritty or still dirty — the spray arm at $283, a blocked wash port, or the circulation motor at $374. Company median $348 across 112 jobs. Mineral scale blocks the small spray ports first, and what it does is set out on hard water and dishwashers.
- Dishes come out wet — the heating element at $362 on machines that have one. Many newer dishwashers are condensing dryers with no element at all, and on those it is the rinse-aid dispenser at $423, the cycle, or loading.
- Will not start, or dies partway through — the door latch at $312 or the control board at $387. The latch is both cheaper and commoner, so it is checked first.
High Point Dishwasher Work by ZIP Code

High Point sits across Guilford, Davidson, Randolph and Forsyth counties and is the third city of the Piedmont Triad. Three of its ZIP codes appear in our dishwasher book so far and all High Point ZIP codes are covered at the same rate, with no travel charge inside the city.
A built-in dishwasher is worked on in place, because pulling it out from under the counter is most of the labour.
Dishwasher Brands We Service in High Point
Three of the five local work orders name a brand — one KitchenAid, one GE, one Maytag — which is a list rather than a distribution, so there is no table worth printing. We service GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, Bosch, KitchenAid, Maytag, LG, Electrolux, Amana and Asko dishwashers in this city, built-in and portable.
On Bosch and Asko the parts are more often ordered in than carried on the van, which can add a day or two, and we say so at booking rather than on the doorstep. Company-wide our dishwasher work is led by GE at 24.3 percent and Whirlpool at 20.8 across 3,098 jobs, and that reflects what is installed and who gets called rather than which brand lasts.
Repair or Replace, in High Point Numbers
Dishwashers sit at the favourable end of this arithmetic and the local numbers make the point sharply. A new mid-range built-in is $500 to $900 fitted and a premium unit $1,000 to $1,800, plus the plumbing and electrical work to fit it into an existing cabinet opening.
Against that, our entire component list runs from $283 for a spray arm to $423 for a detergent dispenser, and the two identifiable High Point jobs came in at $206 and $269 — a quarter to a third of a replacement, and neither of them a part inside the machine at all.
The one genuine decision is a control board at $387 on a machine already past ten years, and even then the installed cost of a replacement usually still argues for repair. Nothing on the company list touches the tub, which is what actually determines how long a dishwasher lasts.
We put the repair figure next to a realistic replacement figure at the assessment rather than after anything is dismantled. Typical service lives are on how long dishwashers last, and the break-even arithmetic is in the repair versus replacement guide.

Dishwasher Repair in High Point — Questions We Get
How much does dishwasher repair cost in High Point?
Our local book holds three dishwasher jobs where work was done — $206, $269 and $466 — which is too small a sample to publish as a local price. The figure to plan against is our company median of $338 across 2,684 dishwasher repairs, with the middle half between $275 and $419.
By part, company-wide: spray arm $283, door latch $312, door gasket $330, water inlet valve $340, drain pump $350, heating element $362, circulation motor $374, control board $387, detergent dispenser $423. Each includes the part, the labour and the service call. The diagnostic itself is $99.
What is an air gap and do I need one?
It is the small chrome cylinder on the sink deck behind the tap, and it breaks the siphon between the dishwasher drain hose and the household waste line so dirty water cannot be pulled back into the machine. Without one — or with one blocked — you get water backing into the tub, standing water after a cycle, or a stale waste smell.
One of our three High Point jobs installed an air gap during a reconnect, for $206. It is a plumbing fitting rather than a dishwasher part, and no component inside the machine substitutes for it.
Water sits in the bottom after every cycle. Does that mean a new pump?
Not necessarily, and our local job is the example. The drain pump is the part we replace most in a dishwasher — 273 of 2,684 repairs at a company median of $350 — but the identical symptom comes from a restriction downstream of a perfectly good pump.
Here the line was cleared for $269. Before anything is ordered the technician checks the filter, the drain hose, the air gap and the garbage disposal connection, because a knockout plug left in after a disposal was fitted produces exactly this.
Why does this page use company prices instead of local ones?
Because three invoices is not a price. We have five dishwasher jobs in this city and three ended with work done, so building a High Point price list from them would be inventing precision we do not have.
Every figure on this page carries the number of repairs behind it, and where that number is company-wide rather than local, the table says so. Our route here opened in March 2026, which is why the local sample is this thin.
You mention the same drain problem on your refrigerator page. Is that a coincidence?
It may well be — eight identifiable repairs across two appliances is not enough to call a pattern, and we will not pretend otherwise. What is factual: two of three dishwasher jobs and three of five refrigerator jobs in High Point were drain work.
Both machines depend on gravity moving water somewhere it can leave, and both fail the same quiet way, with the water backing up until it shows as a puddle or a smell.
If that is what you are calling about, it is the most common thing we have seen here.
Everything comes out wet. Is the heater gone?
Only if your machine has one. On dishwashers with a heating element that part runs $362 company-wide across 40 repairs.
But a good share of newer machines are condensing dryers with no element at all — they shed moisture using residual heat and a cooled wall — and on those the candidates are the rinse-aid dispenser at $423, the cycle selected, or loading that traps water in upturned bowls. The technician establishes which kind of machine you have before quoting.
Which dishwasher brands do you service here?
Three of the five local work orders name a brand — one KitchenAid, one GE, one Maytag — so there is no meaningful local distribution. We service GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, Bosch, KitchenAid, Maytag, LG, Electrolux, Amana and Asko in this city, built-in and portable.
Company-wide GE leads at 24.3 percent and Whirlpool at 20.8 across 3,098 dishwasher jobs. On Bosch and Asko the parts are more often ordered in, which can add a day or two.
Is it worth repairing a ten-year-old dishwasher?
Usually yes, and more clearly than with most appliances. The whole company component list runs $283 to $423 against $500 to $900 to replace a mid-range built-in, plus the plumbing and electrical work to fit a new unit into an existing opening. None of the parts we replace is the tub, which is what determines the machine life.
The one repair worth pausing over is a board on a machine already well past ten years, and we set that figure beside a replacement quote before anything is taken apart.
