Dishwasher Repair in Middleburg, FL
Plan on $338 for a Middleburg dishwasher repair once a part is replaced — and not the $454 our own local sample says. We have 11 dishwasher jobs inside ZIP 32068, 10 paid and 5 with a component replaced. Five jobs produce a median of $454, which is $116 above the company figure of $338 across 2,684 repairs.
Before publishing that as a Middleburg price we opened all five, and one of them was a single visit that repaired a dishwasher and a refrigerator on the same invoice. A combined ticket in a sample of five moves the median by more than the entire local pattern would.
So the honest number on this page is the company one, and the paragraph below shows you the arithmetic rather than asking you to trust it.
Dishwasher Repair in Middleburg, FL 32068
9 of our 11 Middleburg dishwasher jobs fall inside the last twelve months. You get the total before we start, and the $99 diagnostic comes off the bill when you approve the repair.
What Dishwasher Repair Costs in Middleburg, by Component
Here are the five Middleburg component jobs in full, because a five-job sample is small enough to simply show you: $488 on a Whirlpool, $486 on a Frigidaire where the same visit also included refrigerator work, $454 on a second Whirlpool, $387 on a Samsung and $386 on a GE.
Take out the combined visit and the remaining four sit at $386, $387, $454 and $488. That is a wide spread across four jobs, which is exactly why we are not going to hand you a local median as though it means something.
The component table below is company-wide, drawn from thousands of dishwasher repairs, and it is what you should plan around. Every figure is the part, the labour and the service call together.
| Repair | Median, full ticket | Source | Jobs (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spray arm | $283 | Company-wide | 12 |
| Door latch or switch | $312 | Company-wide | 28 |
| Door gasket | $330 | Company-wide | 42 |
| Water inlet valve | $340 | Company-wide | 37 |
| Drain pump | $350 | Company-wide | 273 |
| Heating element | $362 | Company-wide | 40 |
| Circulation motor | $374 | Company-wide | 122 |
| Control board | $387 | Company-wide | 93 |
| Detergent dispenser | $423 | Company-wide | 27 |
| All dishwasher jobs with a part replaced | $338 | Company-wide | 2,684 |
| All dishwasher jobs with a part replaced | $454 · contaminated, do not use | Middleburg 32068 | 5 |
Why Middleburg Dishwashers Fail the Way They Do
Most dishwasher pages on the internet will tell you your water is hard and that scale is eating your machine. We are not going to do that here, because we checked the source. Clay County Utility Authority serves most of ZIP 32068 and is headquartered inside it at 3176 Old Jennings Road.
In its own 2024 annual water quality report CCUA states that all of its water is groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer, that it is aerated for odour removal and then chlorinated, and that Middleburg High School sits on its Orange Park grid. That report does not publish a hardness figure.
So the honest position is: there is no softening step in the treatment process, which means whatever hardness the aquifer delivers arrives at your inlet valve, and neither we nor anybody selling water softeners can put a number on it from a published municipal source.
Parts of 32068 are on private wells, which is a different chemistry again and one nobody publishes at all.
What aeration for odour removal actually tells you SULPHUR, NOT SCALE
A utility aerates water for one main reason: to strip dissolved gases that smell, which in Floridan Aquifer water means hydrogen sulphide. CCUA names five of its systems as aerated for odour removal, the Orange Park grid that covers part of this ZIP among them.
That is a documented fact about your water rather than a sales pitch, and it has a practical consequence for a dishwasher: sulphur odour that appears when the machine has been standing is far more likely to be the water plus a dry trap than a failed component.
It is also the reason we ask you to run the hot tap at the sink until it is genuinely hot before starting a cycle — the machine fills once, and a fill of cold water is a cycle that will not clean.
Six of ten paid visits ended with a part fitted 40 PERCENT
Our Middleburg dishwasher part-fitted share is 40 percent, and the company-wide figure is 40.7 percent — as close to identical as these numbers get. Dishwashers end with a part fitted six times in ten in this ZIP, against four in ten on washers.
The reason is that a dishwasher has more failure modes that are not failures at all: a filter nobody has cleaned, a spray arm blocked by a label, a drain hose without a high loop, a rinse aid reservoir empty, or detergent that has caked in the dispenser.
All of those look exactly like a broken machine from the front. The four checks below are aimed squarely at that 40 percent.
Dishwashers are 12.5 percent of what we do here, close to normal 11 OF 88 CLASSIFIED JOBS
Of the 88 Middleburg jobs where the paperwork identifies an appliance, 11 are dishwashers — 12.5 percent, against 14.8 percent company-wide. That is unremarkable, and unremarkable is worth saying out loud rather than dressing up.
Where Middleburg differs from the company average is refrigerators at 36.4 percent and washers at 25.0 percent, both slightly high, with ovens at 6.8 percent notably low. If you want the appliance-by-appliance picture for this ZIP it is on the Middleburg hub page.
Frigidaire leads our local dishwasher work 3 OF 5 BRANDED JOBS
Only five of our Middleburg dishwasher jobs carry a brand: Frigidaire 3, Maytag 1, Whirlpool 1. Five is far too few to call a pattern, and we will not pretend otherwise — but it is consistent with the wider Middleburg picture, where Frigidaire is 10 of 56 branded jobs across all appliances and sits second only to GE.
Company-wide the dishwasher order is different again: GE 24.3 percent, Whirlpool 20.8, Frigidaire 13.8, Samsung 12.5, Bosch 11.7. Common failure parts for GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire and Maytag platforms ride on the van. A brand table is a record of how often we are called out, not a reliability ranking — see most reliable appliance brands.
Ran the four checks and it still will not clean or drain? Then plan on $338, and on $350 if it is the drain pump, which is our most common dishwasher repair by a wide margin. Book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Standing water in the bottom after a cycle — drain pump at $350, a blocked sump, or a drain hose without a high loop. Company-wide this is 416 repairs at a $325 median, the biggest dishwasher category we have. Clear the filter and the sump first.
- Runs a full cycle but the dishes come out dirty — blocked spray arms, a failed circulation motor at $374, or a cold fill. 112 repairs at a $348 median. Two of the three causes are free to check.
- Water on the kitchen floor — door gasket at $330, a split inlet hose, or the drain hose connection. 331 repairs at a $340 median. See dishwasher leaking from the bottom.
- Will not start, or lights come on and nothing happens — door latch or switch at $312, or the control board at $387. The latch is the cheaper and more common of the two, and the machine genuinely will not run with a latch it cannot confirm is closed.
- Dishes come out wet — heating element at $362, or a rinse aid reservoir that has been empty for a year. 33 repairs at a $360 median, and the reservoir costs you nothing to check.
- Detergent still sitting in the cup at the end of the cycle — detergent dispenser at $423, the most expensive line on the table, or a spray arm hitting the door and blocking the cup. Look for tall items in the bottom rack when you book.
Where in Middleburg We See This Work
All 11 of our Middleburg dishwasher jobs are in ZIP 32068, with 9 of them inside the last twelve months. 32068 is 115.5 square miles, the largest working ZIP in our Jacksonville book, and it is also the only Clay County ZIP we cover with a single unambiguous USPS city name — 112 of our 113 work orders here are written Middleburg.
Its neighbours are not so simple: 32065 next door is officially Orange Park despite the Census counting 31,034 people there as Oakleaf Plantation, and 32003 accepts Fleming Island, Fleming Isle and Orange Park for the same addresses.
One price across all of 32068 with no travel surcharge; book early in the day if you are toward the western or southern edge, since the van routes across this ZIP rather than sitting in the middle of it.

Repair or Replace, in Middleburg 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 include removal, the new hoses and the electrical connection.
Repair wins on any machine under about eight years old — and a dishwasher is one of the few appliances where the replacement cost is understated by the sticker price, because pulling a built-in unit out from under a countertop and fitting another 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, which is two-thirds of a mid-market replacement. Framework: repair or replace guide.

Dishwasher Repair in Middleburg — Questions We Get
How much does dishwasher repair cost in Middleburg, 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.
Our own five Middleburg component jobs give $454, but one of the five was a single visit that also repaired a refrigerator, and in a sample that size one combined ticket moves the median more than any real local pattern would.
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 refuse to publish your own local figure?
Because we opened the five jobs it stands on and one of them is not a clean dishwasher ticket. That invoice covered a dishwasher diagnosis and a refrigerator repair on the same visit, so part of its $486 belongs to another appliance. Remove it and the remaining four sit at $386, $387, $454 and $488 — a wide spread across four jobs, which is not a price, it is noise.
We would rather show you the arithmetic and hand you the company median across 2,684 jobs than dress up four invoices as local knowledge.
My dishwasher will not drain. What is it likely to be?
The drain pump, at $350. It is our largest single dishwasher repair with 273 replacements company-wide, and not-draining is our largest symptom category with 416 repairs at a $325 median.
When you book, do two things: pull the cylindrical filter out of the floor of the tub and check the sump underneath for glass or a fruit sticker, and check that the drain hose rises to a high loop before dropping to the disposal.
Without that loop, sink water siphons straight back into the machine and looks exactly like a failed pump.
Is the water in Middleburg hard enough to damage a dishwasher?
We will only tell you what the utility publishes. Clay County Utility Authority, headquartered inside this ZIP, states in its 2024 annual water quality report that all its water is Floridan Aquifer groundwater, aerated for odour removal and then chlorinated.
There is no softening step in that process and the report publishes no hardness figure, so anybody quoting you a number in grains per gallon for Middleburg is not getting it from the water utility.
What is documented is the aeration, which is done to strip sulphur odour. Parts of 32068 are on private wells, where nobody publishes anything at all.
What do I pay if the machine does not need a part?
On dishwashers in Middleburg, 4 of 10 paid visits, which is 40 percent and almost exactly the company-wide figure of 40.7 percent. It is the second lowest part-fitted share in this ZIP after washers at 60 percent. The usual causes are a filter nobody has cleaned, a blocked spray arm, a cold fill, an empty rinse aid reservoir, or a drain hose without a high loop.
You pay the $99 diagnostic and nothing else in those cases, and we will show you what to do differently.
Which dishwasher brands do you see in Middleburg?
Only five of our local dishwasher jobs carry a brand: Frigidaire 3, Maytag 1, Whirlpool 1. That is too few to call a pattern and we are not going to. It is consistent with the wider Middleburg picture, where Frigidaire is second only to GE across all appliances.
Company-wide the dishwasher order is GE 24.3 percent, Whirlpool 20.8, Frigidaire 13.8, Samsung 12.5 and Bosch 11.7. Common failure parts for the first four ride on the van, which is what decides whether your repair takes one visit or two.
Do you cover the whole of 32068?
Yes, all 115.5 square miles at one price with no travel surcharge — 32068 is the largest working ZIP in our Jacksonville coverage. What the size affects is scheduling rather than cost: if your address is out toward Black Creek or the western edge, book early in the day so the van can route to you.
Refrigerator and freezer calls get priority over everything else because food loss is on the clock, so a dishwasher appointment may sit behind one of those on a given day.
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 any machine under about eight years old. Remember that a built-in dishwasher costs more to replace than the sticker suggests, because pulling one out from under a countertop and connecting another is a plumbing and electrical job.
Where it turns is a control board at $387 and a circulation motor at $374 on the same machine.
