Dishwasher Repair Services
Every dishwasher fault we fix — built-in, freestanding & commercial
10 services, from simple filter blockages to complex control board failures.
Bestcare Appliance Repair provides expert dishwasher repair in Nairobi for homes, restaurants, hotels and offices that depend on their machines running every day. We work on all major brands sold in Kenya, carry common spare parts in stock and repair on the same visit wherever possible.
SERVICE 01
Diagnostic & Fault Assessment
Every repair starts with a proper diagnosis. We inspect the water supply, drainage system, electrical components and control settings, check error codes on digital models and run test cycles on older mechanical units. No guesswork, no unnecessary part replacements, and an accurate estimate before work begins.
Covers: full inspection to identify the exact cause before repair
SERVICE 02
Water Drainage Repair
Water pooling after a cycle usually means a blocked filter, a failing drain pump or a kinked drain hose. We clear blockages, test pump motors and replace worn pumps or hoses, and check the air gap and garbage disposal connection, since a clog there often mimics a dishwasher fault.
Covers: pumps, hoses and filters causing standing water or slow draining
SERVICE 03
Water Inlet & Fill Valve Repair
When a dishwasher won't fill, or overfills and overflows, the inlet valve or its solenoid is often at fault. We test water pressure at the supply line, inspect the valve screen for mineral buildup and replace the valve assembly. A faulty float switch is tested and replaced in the same visit.
Covers: dishwashers that won't fill or overfill
SERVICE 04
Heating Element Replacement
Dishes coming out cold, wet or with detergent residue point to a failed heating element. We test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it along with any thermostat or thermal fuse that failed alongside it, and check the venting system, since poor drying can be a fan or vent fault.
Covers: restoring proper water heating and drying performance
SERVICE 05
Door Latch & Seal Repair
Water leaking around the door is almost always a seal or latch problem. Rubber gaskets harden and crack with age, especially in daily-use commercial kitchens. We replace worn seals, realign misaligned doors and repair or replace latches that no longer hold the door shut or trigger the machine to start.
Covers: leaks from worn gaskets or faulty door locking mechanisms
SERVICE 06
Control Board & Electronics Repair
Modern dishwashers rely on electronic control boards for cycles, timing and safety. When a unit won't start, shows error codes or behaves unpredictably, the board or wiring harness is often the culprit. We test board output, check for burnt connections or blown fuses and replace the board when repair isn't practical.
Covers: faulty circuit boards, timers and touch panels
SERVICE 07
Spray Arm & Wash Motor Repair
Dishes coming out dirty after a full cycle usually trace back to the spray arms or wash motor. We clean jets blocked by food debris or mineral deposits, check the arms spin freely and test the motor. Where the bearing has worn out, causing grinding noise or reduced pressure, we replace the motor assembly.
Covers: restoring water pressure and even cleaning across all racks
SERVICE 08
Noise & Vibration Troubleshooting
Grinding, buzzing or banging usually points to a worn wash motor bearing, a loose spray arm, an object trapped in the pump or an unbalanced installation. We isolate the source systematically, tightening mounts, clearing obstructions and replacing worn components.
Covers: excessive noise during wash or drain cycles
SERVICE 09
Detergent Dispenser Repair
A dispenser that won't open during the wash leaves dishes covered in undissolved detergent. Typical causes are a failed dispenser motor, a broken spring-loaded latch or hardened detergent residue. We clean, repair or replace the mechanism so detergent and rinse aid release when they should.
Covers: dispensers that fail to open or release detergent correctly
SERVICE 10
Installation & Reinstallation
Correct installation matters for long-term reliability. We handle water line connection, drainage setup, electrical connection, levelling and testing, so the unit is fitted correctly the first time and future leaks or drainage faults caused by poor setup are avoided.
Covers: fitting new units or reconnection after kitchen renovations
Why It Matters
A broken dishwasher disrupts the whole kitchen
A dishwasher that stops draining, won't heat or leaks is more than an inconvenience. Prompt professional repair protects your kitchen, your routine and your budget.
Leaks and water damage
A dishwasher that leaks onto the kitchen floor can damage flooring and cabinetry the longer it is left running.
Dirty dishes, wasted water
Blocked spray arms, a weak motor or a failed heater mean cycles run but dishes still come out dirty, wet or cold.
A disrupted routine
For households it means washing by hand; for restaurants and hotels, downtime in a busy kitchen has to be kept to a minimum.
Costlier fixes later
Small faults left alone can end in a control board job. A replacement board can cost KES 8,000 – 18,000 against 4,000 – 9,000 to repair.

Symptoms We Fix
Recognise the problem? We have fixed it before
These are the dishwasher faults our technicians see most often, and what usually causes them.
Not draining, water left at the bottom
Usually a clogged filter, a blocked or kinked drain hose or a worn drain pump. Food debris in the filter basket is the most common cause and is often fixable on the same visit.
Dishes wet or cold after a cycle
Typically a faulty heating element, a blocked vent or an exhausted rinse aid dispenser. We test each component to find the exact cause.
Leaking from the door
Commonly a worn or damaged door seal, a misaligned door or a faulty latch that is not holding the door tightly closed during the cycle.
Won't fill, or overfills
Often the inlet valve or its solenoid, sometimes a faulty float switch. We test water pressure, inspect the valve screen and replace what has failed.
Loud grinding, buzzing or banging
Often a worn wash motor bearing, an object stuck in the pump or an unbalanced load. A technician can usually identify the cause within minutes.
Won't start or shows error codes
The control board or its wiring harness is often the culprit. We test board output, check for burnt connections or blown fuses and replace the board when needed.

Got questions?
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what customers ask before booking a dishwasher repair: causes, timing, parts, warranty and costs.
Why is my dishwasher not draining water?
This is usually caused by a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose, or a worn-out drain pump. Food debris trapped in the filter basket is the most common cause and is often fixable during the same visit.
Why does my dishwasher leave dishes wet after a cycle?
Poor drying is typically linked to a faulty heating element, a blocked vent, or an exhausted rinse aid dispenser. Our technicians test each component to identify the exact cause.
Is it worth repairing an old dishwasher, or should I replace it?
It depends on the age and the fault. If the unit is under seven years old and the repair cost is reasonable compared to a new machine, repair is usually the better option. We give an honest recommendation after diagnosis.
How long does a typical dishwasher repair take?
Most repairs are completed within one visit, usually between 45 minutes and two hours, depending on the complexity of the fault and part availability.
Do you carry spare parts with you, or do I need to wait?
Our technicians carry commonly needed parts such as seals, spray arms, and fill valves. For less common parts specific to certain brands, we source them and schedule a quick follow-up visit.
Why is my dishwasher making a loud noise during the wash cycle?
Loud noise is often caused by a worn wash motor bearing, an object stuck in the pump, or an unbalanced load. A technician can usually identify the cause within minutes of inspection.
Can you fix built-in dishwashers as well as freestanding ones?
Yes, our technicians repair both built-in and freestanding dishwashers, including units integrated into custom cabinetry in modern kitchens.
Do you offer any warranty on repairs?
Yes, completed repairs come with a warranty covering the parts replaced and the labour involved, giving you peace of mind after the job is done.
What causes a dishwasher to leak water from the door?
Leaking around the door is commonly caused by a worn or damaged door seal, a misaligned door, or a faulty latch that isn't holding the door tightly closed during the cycle.
Do you service commercial dishwashers in restaurants and hotels?
Yes, we service both domestic and commercial-grade dishwashers, including high-capacity units used in hotel and restaurant kitchens where downtime needs to be kept to a minimum.
