Dishwasher Repair in Orange Park FL
Every dishwasher repair we have completed in Orange Park landed between $291 and $335. Four component jobs — $335, $328, $313 and $291 — a $44 band, and the tightest set of local invoices anywhere in our Clay County work. All four came in below the company median of $338 across 2,684 dishwasher repairs.
That comes from 12 dishwasher jobs inside ZIP 32073, 8 paid and 4 with a component replaced. Four invoices is a small sample and we will not call it a price — but four invoices agreeing that closely is worth showing you outright rather than averaging into a number. Plan on $320 to $338 and you will not be far off.

Checks done and it still will not drain or clean? You get the total before we start, and the $99 diagnostic comes off the bill when you approve the repair.
Orange Park, Oakleaf or Fleming Island? Check Your ZIP
Three separate places in Clay County share Orange Park as a postal name. This page is ZIP 32073, the incorporated town. If your ZIP is 32065 that is Oakleaf, where the Census counts 31,034 people under the name Oakleaf Plantation even though USPS does not recognise it — see dishwasher repair in Oakleaf.
If your ZIP is 32003 that is Fleming Island, which accepts three city names at once, and where the dishwasher picture is startlingly different: two of eight visits there ended with a part fitted. See dishwasher repair on Fleming Island. Same price list, no travel surcharge between them.
What Dishwasher Repair Costs in Orange Park, by Component
Every figure below is the part, the labour and the service call together — the number that appears on your invoice, not the price of the component on a parts website. The component rows are company-wide, because four local jobs cannot be split across nine named repairs.
The last two rows are the totals, with our four local invoices shown as the band they actually occupy rather than collapsed into a median we would then have to defend.
| 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 · middle half $275 to $419 | Company-wide | 2,684 |
| All dishwasher jobs with a part replaced | $291 to $335 · every local invoice | Orange Park 32073 | 4 |
One honest caveat about how current this is. Only 4 of our 12 dishwasher jobs here fall inside the last twelve months, and the four component repairs date from November 2023 through March 2025. That is the oldest sample on this cluster — our refrigerator page in the same ZIP stands on 24 jobs from the last twelve months, and our dryer page on 12.
Parts prices move, so treat the $44 band as a good indication rather than a current quotation, and read the company median as the more up-to-date of the two figures.
Why Orange Park Dishwashers Fail the Way They Do
Most dishwasher pages will tell you your water is hard and that scale is destroying the machine. We checked the source instead.
Clay County Utility Authority serves the town through what its own 2024 annual water quality report calls the Orange Park Grid, and 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 then chlorinated.
There is no softening step in that process, and the report publishes no hardness figure anywhere. So whatever hardness the aquifer delivers arrives untreated at your inlet valve — and nobody, including anybody selling you a softener, can put a published municipal number on it for this ZIP.
What the aeration does tell you is real: it is done to strip hydrogen sulphide, the sulphur smell characteristic of north Florida groundwater.
Frigidaire is the Orange Park brand, across two appliances 4 OF 10 HERE · 9 OF 19 ON REFRIGERATORS
Ten of our local dishwasher jobs carry a brand: Frigidaire 4, Whirlpool 2, and one each of KitchenAid, Bosch, Samsung and GE. Frigidaire leading is notable because it does the same thing on our Orange Park refrigerator page, where it is 9 of 19 branded jobs — nearly three times its company share.
Two appliances pointing the same way in one postcode is a more interesting signal than either alone, and it fits a market where kitchens were fitted as packages. Company-wide the dishwasher order is different: GE 24.3 percent, Whirlpool 20.8, Frigidaire 13.8, Samsung 12.5, Bosch 11.7.
Common Frigidaire, GE and Whirlpool parts ride on the van. A brand table records how often we are called out, not reliability.
The drain hose loop is the check almost nobody does 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 after every cycle — precisely what a failed drain pump looks like, and a pump is $350 with 273 replacements company-wide, more than any other dishwasher component.
Look at where the hose leaves the cabinet under your sink. If it runs flat or downhill the whole way, that is your fault and fixing it costs nothing.
Five of eight paid visits end with a part fitted 62.5 PERCENT
Close to the company-wide dishwasher figure of 59.3 percent, and squarely between the two neighbouring ZIPs: Oakleaf runs 5 of 7 and Fleming Island 6 of 8. Dishwashers produce a lot of nothing-to-replace visits everywhere, because so many failure modes are not failures — an uncleaned filter, a blocked spray arm, a cold fill, an empty rinse aid reservoir, a drain hose without a high loop.
All of those look identical to a broken machine from the front of the kitchen, and all of them are in the box at the top of this page.
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, 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 resolves a surprising share of complaints.
Filter clear, drain loop in place, hot water run, and it still will not work? Then plan on $320 to $338, and expect the drain pump at $350 to be the first suspect. 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 to check.
- 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 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 nothing to check.
- Film or grit on glassware — cold fill, empty rinse aid, or caked detergent in the dispenser. Rarely a component. Background: how hard water affects your dishwasher.
Where in Orange Park We See This Work
All 12 dishwasher jobs are inside ZIP 32073, the incorporated town, though only 4 of them fall inside the last twelve months — the oldest sample in this cluster, which is why the caveat above matters. One price across the whole ZIP with no travel surcharge.
Our local book across all appliances includes premium and built-in equipment — a high-end GE Profile refrigerator, a JennAir range, a Viking double wall oven — so if your dishwasher is integrated behind a cabinet panel, mention it at booking, because access takes longer and the repair-or-replace arithmetic changes.

Repair or Replace, in Orange Park Numbers
Every dishwasher repair we have completed here came in between $291 and $335, 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.

What Jacksonville Area Customers Say About Bozmanfix
“Denis was wonderful. My dishwasher was very challenging, but he persevered and got it fixed. He came out several times and was always prompt, respectful, and efficient. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.”
“Dimitri was extremely fast and professional. He replaced the control panel on my dishwasher in 15 minutes. I would definitely use Bozmanfix again.”
“They came out quickly on a Saturday. Dennis was prompt and resolved our dishwasher problem quickly. He explained the issue and showed me that everything was fixed. Great service.”
“Denis showed up on time and replaced the part that was needed. That part turned out to be defective, and he already had another on the way and followed up to set another appointment. It only took about 15 minutes. Highly recommend.”
Dishwasher Repair in Orange Park — Questions We Get
How much does dishwasher repair cost in Orange Park, FL?
Every dishwasher repair we have completed inside ZIP 32073 landed between $291 and $335 — four component jobs at $335, $328, $313 and $291, all below the company median of $338 across 2,684 repairs. Plan on $320 to $338 and you will not be far off.
Four invoices is not a price and we do not present it as one, but it is four invoices we can show you. 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.
How current are those figures?
Less current than the rest of this cluster, and it is worth knowing. Only 4 of our 12 local dishwasher jobs fall inside the last twelve months, and the four component repairs date from November 2023 through March 2025. By comparison our Orange Park refrigerator page stands on 24 jobs from the last twelve months and the dryer page on 12.
Parts prices move, so treat the $291 to $335 band as a good indication rather than a current quotation, and read the company median of $338 as the more up-to-date figure of the two.
My dishwasher will not drain. What should I check first?
Two free things. 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 and the most replaced dishwasher component we have at 273 jobs.
What do I pay if the machine does not need a part?
Five of 8 paid dishwasher visits here needed a part fitted — 62.5 percent, close to the company-wide 59.3 percent and squarely between our two neighbouring ZIPs, where Oakleaf runs 2 of 7 and Fleming Island 6 of 8.
Dishwashers produce a lot of nothing-to-replace visits everywhere, because so many failure modes are not failures: an uncleaned filter, a blocked spray arm, a cold fill, an empty rinse aid reservoir, a drain hose without a high loop. You pay the $99 diagnostic and nothing else in those cases.
Which dishwasher brands do you see in Orange Park?
Of 10 branded dishwasher jobs in 32073: Frigidaire 4, Whirlpool 2, and one each of KitchenAid, Bosch, Samsung and GE. Frigidaire leading is worth noting because it does the same on our Orange Park refrigerator page, where it is 9 of 19 branded jobs — nearly three times its company share.
Two appliances pointing the same way in one postcode is a more interesting signal than either alone. Company-wide the dishwasher order runs GE 24.3 percent, Whirlpool 20.8, Frigidaire 13.8. Common Frigidaire, GE and Whirlpool parts ride on the van.
Is the water in Orange Park hard enough to damage a dishwasher?
We will only repeat what the utility publishes. Clay County Utility Authority serves the town through what its 2024 annual water quality report calls the Orange Park Grid. That 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 the report contains no hardness figure anywhere, so anybody quoting you grains per gallon for this ZIP is not sourcing it from your water utility. What the aeration tells you is that the raw aquifer water carries sulphur.
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, 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 it worth repairing, or should I replace it?
Every repair we have completed here came in between $291 and $335, 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.
