Dishwasher Repair in Fleming Island, FL
Six of our eight paid dishwasher visits on Fleming Island ended with no part to fit. That is a 25 percent part-fitted share, against 59.3 percent company-wide, and it is the highest figure of its kind on any page we publish. Eight visits is a small sample and some of that will be luck — but it is strong enough that we are going to arrange this page backwards.
Those checks come first, before the prices, because on our own evidence the odds are roughly three to one that you do not need us. If your dishwasher genuinely needs a component, plan on the company median of $338; our two local component jobs are far too few to quote from.

Checks done and it still will not drain or clean? Then book, and you get the total before we start. The $99 diagnostic comes off the bill when you approve the repair.
What Dishwasher Repair Costs, by Component
Every row below is company-wide, and the reason is on the last line: we have exactly two local component jobs, one at $705 and one at $335. A median of two numbers is not a price, it is an average of two anecdotes, so we are not publishing one.
Plan on $338, the company median across 2,684 dishwasher component replacements, with the middle half running $275 to $419. Every figure is the part, the labour and the service call together — not the price of the component on a parts website.

Why Three in Four Visits Here confirm the machine is sound
A dishwasher has more failure modes that are not failures than any other appliance we service. It sits under a worktop where nobody looks at it, it has a filter most households have never removed, and it depends on things outside the machine entirely — the temperature of the water arriving, the routing of the drain hose, whether the rinse aid reservoir has anything in it.
All of those produce symptoms identical to a broken machine when viewed from the front of the kitchen.
Our two local component jobs, for completeness, were a Whirlpool at $705 and a second Whirlpool at $335, and a KitchenAid visit came to $149. The remaining five came in at the $99 diagnostic or below. Company-wide the picture is the same in shape if not degree: dishwashers sit close to even, one of the highest rates we record, behind only freezers at 43.9 percent.
The highest part-fitted share on any page we publish 6 OF 8 · 75 PERCENT
Against 59.3 percent company-wide, and against 72.7 percent on both ovens and washers in this same ZIP. Eight visits is a small sample and we are not pretending otherwise — some of that gap is chance. But we would rather hand you the number and change our advice than smooth it into an average that suggests you should book without checking anything.
On this peninsula, the dishwasher is the appliance where fifteen minutes of your own time is most likely to save you a service call.
The drain hose loop is the check people never do SIPHONING LOOKS LIKE A DEAD PUMP
The drain hose must rise to a high loop, above the level of the tub, before it drops to the disposal or standpipe. That loop is the only thing stopping water in the sink from flowing backwards into the dishwasher.
Where it is missing or has slipped down, you get standing water in the bottom of the machine after every cycle — which is precisely what a failed drain pump looks like, and a pump is $350.
Look at where the hose leaves the cabinet under the sink. If it runs flat or downhill the whole way, that is your fault and it is free to fix.
A single fill of cold water ruins a whole cycle RUN THE TAP FIRST
A dishwasher fills once at the start of the main wash and heats what it takes in — it does not keep drawing hot water. If the pipe run from your water heater to the kitchen is long, which in development-built single-family housing it often is, the machine takes a tank of tepid water and the detergent never properly dissolves.
The result is a full cycle that leaves a film on the glasses, and it looks exactly like a failed circulation motor at $374. Running the kitchen hot tap until it is genuinely hot before pressing start is free and it fixes a surprising number of complaints.
On water, we publish only what the utility publishes NO HARDNESS FIGURE EXISTS
Most dishwasher pages will tell you your water is hard and that scale is destroying the machine. We checked instead. Clay County Utility Authority serves this area through what its own 2024 annual water quality report calls the Pace Fleming Grid, covering Pace Island and Fleming Oaks.
That report states all its water is groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer, that this grid is aerated for odour removal, and that the water is chlorinated afterwards. There is no softening step, and the report contains no hardness figure anywhere.
So whatever hardness the aquifer delivers arrives untreated at your inlet valve — and nobody, including anyone selling you a softener, can put a published municipal number on it for this ZIP.
Filter clear, arms spinning, hot water run, drain loop in place, and it still will not work? Then it is one of ours, and the company median is $338. Book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Standing water in the bottom after a cycle — first the sump and the drain hose loop, both free. If genuinely a part, the drain pump at $350. Company-wide this is 416 repairs at a $325 median, our largest dishwasher category.
- Runs a full cycle but the dishes come out dirty — blocked spray arms or a cold fill before a failed circulation motor at $374. 112 repairs at a $348 median, and two of the three causes cost nothing.
- Film or grit on glassware — cold fill, an empty rinse aid reservoir, or detergent that has caked in the dispenser. Rarely a component. Background: how hard water affects your dishwasher.
- Water on the kitchen floor — door gasket at $330, a split inlet hose, or the drain connection. 331 repairs at a $340 median. See dishwasher leaking from the bottom.
- Will not start, lights on but nothing happens — door latch or switch at $312, or the control board at $387. The latch is cheaper and more common, and the machine genuinely will not run with a latch it cannot confirm.
- Detergent still sitting in the cup at the end — a tall item in the bottom rack blocking the cup door, or the dispenser itself at $423, the dearest line on the table. Look when you book.
Where on Fleming Island We See This Work
All 8 dishwasher jobs are in ZIP 32003, 5 of them inside the last twelve months. The ZIP carries three USPS names at once — Fleming Island as primary, with Fleming Isle and Orange Park accepted for the same addresses — and our own paperwork splits 96 to 48 in favour of Orange Park across all appliances, purely on what people say when they call.
If your ZIP is 32003, this page is yours whichever name your mail carries. ZIP 32073 is the incorporated town of Orange Park with its own Orange Park dishwasher page; ZIP 32065 is Oakleaf, whose postal name is also Orange Park, with its own Oakleaf dishwasher page — and notably a very different picture, with only 28.6 percent of visits there needing no part.
One price across the whole peninsula, no travel surcharge. Coverage detail on the Fleming Island appliance repair hub.
Repair or Replace, in Company Numbers
A dishwasher repair with a part replaced runs a company median of $338, against roughly $600 to $1,100 for a mid-market replacement installed once you count removal, new hoses and the electrical connection.
Repair wins on essentially any machine under about eight years old — and by a wider margin than the shelf price suggests, because replacing a built-in dishwasher is a plumbing and electrical job rather than a delivery: disconnect the supply, the drain and the power, unfasten it from the worktop, level the new one, reconnect all three.
Where it turns is a control board at $387 together with a circulation motor at $374 on the same machine, which is two-thirds of a mid-market replacement. Company-wide, that decision splits close to even on dishwashers, one of the higher rates we record. Framework: repair or replace guide.

Dishwasher Repair on Fleming Island — Questions We Get
How much does dishwasher repair cost on Fleming Island, FL?
Plan on $338 once a part is replaced, parts and labor and the service call together, with the middle half of jobs between $275 and $419. That is the company median across 2,684 dishwasher component replacements. We do not publish a local figure because we have only two component jobs in ZIP 32003, one at $705 and one at $335 — a median of two numbers is not a price.
By component, company-wide: spray arm $283, door latch $312, door gasket $330, inlet valve $340, drain pump $350, heating element $362, circulation motor $374, control board $387, detergent dispenser $423.
Why do you tell people not to book?
Because six of our eight paid dishwasher visits on this peninsula ended with no part to fit — 75 percent, against 40.7 percent company-wide and the highest figure of its kind on any page we publish. Eight visits is a small sample and some of that is luck, but it is strong enough to change our advice honestly.
Fifteen minutes on the four checks at the top of this page is more likely to solve your problem than we are. If they do not, we are here and the $99 diagnostic comes off the repair.
My dishwasher will not drain. What should I check first?
Two things, both free. Pull the cylindrical filter out of the floor of the tub and inspect the sump underneath for glass, a fruit sticker or a piece of bone. Then look under the sink at where the drain hose leaves the cabinet: it must rise to a high loop above the tub before dropping to the disposal or standpipe.
Without that loop, sink water siphons backwards into the machine and produces standing water after every cycle — identical to a failed drain pump, which is $350. If both check out, the pump is the most likely part at 273 replacements company-wide.
The dishes come out with a film on them. Is that a broken part?
Usually not. A dishwasher fills once at the start of the main wash and heats what it takes in — it does not keep drawing hot water. If the pipe run to your kitchen is long, the machine takes a tank of tepid water and the detergent never dissolves properly, leaving a film.
Run the kitchen hot tap until it is genuinely hot before starting the cycle. Also check the rinse aid reservoir and spin both spray arms by hand looking for blocked nozzles. If all three are fine, the circulation motor at $374 is the component to suspect.
Is the water here hard enough to damage a dishwasher?
We will only repeat what the utility publishes. Clay County Utility Authority serves this area through what its 2024 annual water quality report calls the Pace Fleming Grid, covering Pace Island and Fleming Oaks. The report states all its water is Floridan Aquifer groundwater, that this grid is aerated for odour removal, and that it is then chlorinated.
There is no softening step and no hardness figure anywhere in the report. So whatever hardness the aquifer delivers arrives untreated at your inlet valve, and anybody quoting you grains per gallon for 32003 is not getting it from your water utility.
How does this compare with the next ZIP over?
Very differently, which is why we keep separate pages. In Oakleaf, ZIP 32065, only 71.4 percent of paid dishwasher visits end with a part fitted and the local median is $332 across four component jobs — dishwashers there are the cheapest and most cooperative appliance in that ZIP.
Here on Fleming Island it is 75 percent and we have two component jobs. Same county, same price list, same technicians, genuinely different experience. Both figures come from small samples and both are stated with their sample sizes.
What if you come out and confirm the machine is sound?
You pay the $99 diagnostic and nothing else, and you leave knowing exactly what the machine is doing and what to change. That happened on six of our eight paid dishwasher visits in this ZIP.
The visit still earns its keep if you did not know which of the four checks applied to you — but it is a visit you can often avoid, which is why those checks are at the top of this page rather than buried at the bottom. The diagnostic is credited against the repair total whenever there is a repair to do.
Is it worth repairing, or should I replace it?
At a $338 median with a part replaced against roughly $600 to $1,100 for a mid-market replacement installed, repair wins on essentially any machine under about eight years old — and by more than the shelf price suggests, because replacing a built-in dishwasher is a plumbing and electrical job rather than a delivery.
Where it turns is a control board at $387 plus a circulation motor at $374 on the same machine. Company-wide that decision splits close to even on dishwashers.
