How We Determine Repair Costs
Our pricing model is structured to build trust and prevent hidden fees:
1. Diagnostic Fee
A standard fee of KSh 1,500 to 2,500 covers travel and diagnosis. This fee is completely waived if you authorize the repair.
2. Genuine Parts Cost
If components are damaged, we charge for direct replacements. We use only manufacturer-approved, genuine parts with warranties.
3. Expert Labor Rate
Calculated as a flat rate based on job complexity, meaning you pay exactly what is quoted regardless of how long the repair takes.
4. Warranty Protection
Included with every repair is a 60 to 180-day warranty covering both the replaced parts and our technician’s workmanship.
Pro-Tips to Extend Your Dishwasher’s Lifespan
Maximize appliance life and prevent emergency service calls with these maintenance routines:
Clean the Bottom Filter Weekly
Unscrew the cylindrical mesh filter at the bottom of the tub. Wash away food particles, grease, and bone fragments under warm water. A clogged filter blocks drainage and recycles dirty water onto dishes.
Use Dishwasher Salt (Hard Water protection)
Nairobi water has high mineral content. Always keep the water softener compartment (at the bottom) filled with dishwasher salt. This prevents limescale deposits from damaging the heating element and wash pump.
Clear the Spray Arm Nozzles
Detach the spray arms and check the small water jet holes. Use a toothpick or safety pin to clear any seeds, toothpick splinters, or mineral buildup that could block water flow and reduce cleaning power.
Scrape, Don’t Rinse, Your Plates
Scrape off large food chunks into the bin before loading. Rinsing dishes completely clean is unnecessary and can confuse modern sensors that gauge water turbidity (dirtiness) to adjust cycle intensity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dishwasher Repairs
Why is my dishwasher not draining water at the end of a cycle?
Drainage failure is usually caused by a clogged bottom mesh filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose (often where it connects under the sink), or a failed drain pump motor. Clearing the filter and check valve often resolves it; otherwise, the pump motor needs replacement.
What causes dishes to come out dirty or covered in white film?
This is commonly caused by clogged spray arm nozzles (blocking water flow), using low-quality detergent, overloading racks, or hard water buildup. In Nairobi, high mineral content requires using dishwasher salt in the softener unit to prevent white film on glassware.
Why is my dishwasher leaking water onto the kitchen floor?
Leaks are typically caused by a worn or torn door gasket seal, a cracked spray arm (which sprays water directly at the door seams), or a clogged float switch causing the tub to overfill. Replacing the door gasket seal restores a watertight enclosure.
How much does it cost to replace a dishwasher drain pump in Nairobi?
Replacing a dishwasher drain pump ranges between KSh 4,000 and KSh 7,500. This estimate covers a brand-new drain pump motor, labor, diagnostic, and testing. The diagnostic fee is waived if the repair is completed.
Why is my dishwasher making a loud grinding or humming noise?
A loud grinding noise indicates a foreign object (like bone fragments, glass, or plastic toothpicks) is jammed in the pump impeller. A loud continuous hum, however, is a sign that the circulation pump motor bearings have failed, requiring circulation pump replacement.
Why is my dishwasher not heating the water or drying the dishes?
If the dishes are washed but come out cold and wet, the heating element or the control thermostat has failed. Electric heating elements can burn out due to mineral deposits and must be replaced to ensure hot sanitizing wash cycles.
How long does a typical dishwasher repair take?
Most repairs (drain pumps, inlet valves, door seals, sprays) are completed within 60 to 90 minutes. Integrated models require extra time to extract and reinstall within custom cabinetry.
Do you service integrated / built-in dishwashers?
Yes. Our technicians are experts in safely extracting and repairing integrated and built-in dishwashers without damaging custom cabinetry, door plinths, or adjacent counters.
Why is the soap dispenser door not opening during the cycle?
This occurs when the dispenser latch is blocked by tall plates loaded in the bottom rack, or if the dispenser spring/solenoid has failed. We replace failed dispenser assemblies on-site.
Do you offer a warranty on dishwasher repairs?
Yes. All dishwasher repairs (including wash pumps, drain motors, heating loops, and PCBs) are backed by an official warranty of 60 to 180 days on parts and labor.
