01What is it doing?

Common dishwasher problems

Each guide explains what the symptom usually points to and what is safe to check yourself. Ready to book? Pick the symptom and it is filled in for you.

02Before you book

Safe checks first

Five minutes that sometimes save a visit, and always make it faster. Skip anything you are not comfortable doing.

  1. Rinse the filterLift out the cylindrical filter in the bottom of the tub and rinse it. Many standing-water calls start with a filter packed with food scraps and labels.
  2. Look under the sinkMake sure the drain hose isn’t crushed behind stored items and, if you have a garbage disposal, that the disposal itself drains.
  3. Well waterOn a private well, sediment and hard water can clog the inlet screen and leave film on glasses. Mention it when you book.

Stop using it if you notice

  • Water spreading under the cabinet or flooring
  • A burning smell or a scorched cord
  • The breaker trips during the cycle

Close the water valve under the sink, switch the dishwasher off at the breaker and book; after-hours visits between 9 PM and 7 AM add a $100 flat fee. Then call 613-301-0016.

03Outaouais service

Dishwasher repair across Gatineau and the Outaouais

We repair dishwashers on both sides of the Gatineau River: in Vieux-Hull, the Plateau and central Gatineau, in Aylmer and Hull, and east through Pointe-Gatineau and Limbour to Masson-Angers and Buckingham. North of the city we also cover Chelsea, Cantley, Val-des-Monts, Wakefield, La Pêche and L’Ange-Gardien.

Service is fully bilingual. Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer sit inside our standard service area with no travel charge, and our parts and appliance warehouse is in Gatineau. For addresses more than 30 km from downtown Ottawa a travel charge may apply, and we tell you when you book. Prefer French? See réparation de lave-vaisselle à Gatineau.

The housing mix shapes the calls. In apartment and condo buildings a dishwasher leak can reach the unit below, so it is worth acting on quickly. Many rural homes in Cantley and Val-des-Monts are on wells, where sediment and minerals clog inlet screens and leave a film on glasses.

04Problems we fix

Dishwasher problems we fix in Gatineau

Water leaking from the door or base

A worn door seal, a cracked sump assembly or a stuck door vent. Water at the front of the unit and water on the cabinet side point to very different parts, so tell us where you see it.

Not draining: standing water at the end of the cycle

A failed drain pump, a clogged filter or a kinked drain hose under the sink. We start at the filter and work outward. See dishwasher not draining in Gatineau, or in French, lave-vaisselle qui ne vidange pas.

Dishes coming out dirty or cloudy

A blocked spray arm, a weak wash pump or mineral build-up. The fix is often a part plus a thorough cleaning of the filter and spray arms.

Won’t start or won’t fill

The door-latch switch, the water inlet valve or the control board. The latch micro-switch is the most frequent culprit across brands.

Loud during the wash

A worn wash motor, debris caught in the pump impeller or a failing motor bearing. We inspect and quote on site.

05Error codes

What E24, E15, OE and 5E mean on a dishwasher

E24 on a Bosch, OE on an LG and 5E or 5C on a Samsung are drain codes: the machine timed out waiting for the water to leave. The repair follows the drain path, from filter to pump, check valve, hose and the sink connection.

E15 on a Bosch is leak protection. Water has pooled in the base pan and lifted the float switch, so the dishwasher runs its drain pump and refuses to wash. The real job is finding where the water came from (a seal, hose, valve or the sump), then drying the base and resetting the unit.

Heating faults have codes too, such as F7 on some models. Whatever the code, take a photo of it for the booking. It narrows down the likely parts, though the technician still confirms the cause before replacing anything.

06Brands and types

Bosch, Miele and other dishwasher brands

We repair Bosch, Miele, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE and GE Profile, Maytag, Frigidaire, Thermador, Electrolux, Kenmore, Asko, Jenn-Air, Viking and Fisher & Paykel: built-in, portable, drawer and integrated panel-ready units.

European machines from Bosch, Miele and Asko use different pump, heater and drying designs from North American brands, and many dry by condensation rather than with an exposed element, so a load that comes out damp isn’t always a fault. B&M has been in business since 1995. Brand detail: Bosch dishwasher repair in Gatineau and Miele dishwasher repair in Gatineau.

07Cost and booking

What a Gatineau dishwasher repair costs, and how booking works

The residential diagnostic is $89 + tax and is applied toward the repair you approve; commercial machines are $129 + tax. Most dishwasher repairs typically land between $150 and $400 for parts and labour; a wash motor or control board runs higher. You get the price in writing before any work, and our dishwasher repair cost guide lists typical prices by repair.

Send a request online any time or call. A request isn’t an appointment until we phone or text you with an arrival window of about three hours; same-day visits in Hull, Aylmer and the rest of Gatineau are possible when the schedule allows. A visit between 9 PM and 7 AM costs an extra $100 flat (see emergency appliance repair). Please give 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule; a late cancellation may be charged $85.

After the visit you get a written diagnostic report; the repair carries a three-month parts-and-labour warranty with written terms.

When a new dishwasher makes more sense

If the tub has rusted through or several major parts are failing on an older machine, we tell you so rather than sell you a repair. For a new dishwasher, see appliance installation in Gatineau or the detailed dishwasher installation guide.

People in Gatineau describe the same job in different words: dishwasher repair, a dishwasher technician, someone to fix the dishwasher, or réparation de lave-vaisselle. It is the same bilingual service, and the same diagnostic fee in Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer as in Ottawa. For the Ontario side, see dishwasher repair in Ottawa or appliance repair in Ottawa, and for every other appliance, appliance repair in Gatineau.

Questions, answered

Something else? Call and ask.

613-301-0016
Do you service Bosch and Miele dishwashers?

Yes, including Bosch E15 and E24 faults and Miele drain and heating problems. Give us the model number when you book so we can confirm parts.

Why is there water in the bottom of my dishwasher?

A little clean water in the sump is normal. Grey water above the filter after a cycle means the filter, drain pump, check valve, hose or sink connection is blocked; clean the filter first, and if it still holds water, book a visit.

How much does dishwasher repair cost in Gatineau?

The diagnostic is $89 + tax residential, applied toward the approved repair ($129 + tax commercial). Most repairs typically land between $150 and $400 for parts and labour; a wash motor or control board runs higher.

Do you charge extra to come to Gatineau from Ottawa?

No. Gatineau, Hull and Aylmer are inside our standard service area at the same $89 + tax residential diagnostic.

Can you come the same day to Hull or Aylmer?

Often, if the schedule allows; we confirm by call or text with an arrival window of about three hours.

Is service available in French?

Yes, fully bilingual. Voir en français.
