How Much Does Dishwasher Repair Cost in Ottawa?

Dishwasher repair pricing depends on which component has failed. The figures below are typical industry ranges for the Ottawa–Gatineau area, including parts and labour — they are a guide, not a quote. Your actual price is confirmed upfront after the technician diagnoses the fault, and you approve it before any work starts.

• Door latch or gasket: typically $150–$300
• Water inlet valve: typically $150–$300
• Drain pump: typically $150–$350
• Heating element: typically $180–$350
• Wash motor or circulation pump: typically $250–$450
• Control board: typically $250–$450

We offer same-day and next-day appointments and carry common parts on the truck, so most dishwasher repairs finish in a single visit. If your dishwasher won’t dry, drain, or is leaking, our dishwasher not drying Ottawa, dishwasher not draining Ottawa, and dishwasher leaking Ottawa pages explain those faults.

What’s Included: $89 Diagnosis + Upfront Quote

Every repair starts with a transparent diagnosis. There are no surprise charges — you know the price before we begin.

• Residential service call: $89 + tax — a full diagnosis and a clear repair quote.
• Commercial service call: $129 + tax.
• 3-month warranty on parts and labour.
• Emergency appointments 9 PM–7 AM include a $100 flat emergency fee on top of regular rates. Jobs more than 30 km from downtown Ottawa may include extra km/travel fees.

What Affects the Cost of a Dishwasher Repair

The failed part is the biggest factor — a door latch or inlet valve is far cheaper than a circulation pump or control board. Brand and model matter: premium and integrated European models (such as some Bosch and Miele units) can use pricier pumps and boards. Labour complexity varies — a valve is quick, while pulling the dishwasher to reach the pump or motor takes longer. We’ll confirm exactly what’s involved in your upfront quote so there are no surprises.

Repair or Replace? When Dishwasher Repair Is Worth It

If the repair costs less than about half the price of a comparable new dishwasher and the unit is under roughly 8–10 years old, repair is usually the cheaper, smarter choice. A $180 valve or heating-element repair on a $900 dishwasher is easy math. Replacement makes more sense when an older machine needs a major motor or board repair and is showing other wear.
