Which dishwasher brands do you repair in Burbank?

We focus on premium built-in dishwashers, including Viking and Thermador models. We also service Sub-Zero refrigeration and Wolf cooking appliances, so we can look at other appliances in your kitchen during the same visit if you need it.

Why is there water in the bottom of my dishwasher?

Standing water usually points to a drain problem, such as a clogged filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose, a disposal connection that's plugged, or a failing drain pump. We test each one to find the actual cause.

Is it safe to keep using a leaking dishwasher?

We recommend you stop using it until it's checked. Even a small leak can damage cabinets and flooring over time, especially with a built-in unit where the water collects out of sight.

Should I repair or replace my dishwasher?

It depends on the problem, the condition of the rest of the machine, and how well it fits your kitchen. Built-in and panel-ready units are often worth repairing because replacements may not match your cabinetry. We'll give you our honest assessment after the diagnosis.

Can you fix a dishwasher that leaves dishes dirty?

Yes. Poor cleaning can come from clogged spray arms, a dirty filter, low water temperature, a weak wash pump, or mineral buildup. We check these and explain what's causing it.

Are you affiliated with Viking or Thermador?

No. Viking Appliance Services is an independent repair company. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Viking, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, or any other appliance brand.

Dishwasher Problems We Fix in Burbank Kitchens

Most dishwasher calls come down to a handful of symptoms. The cause behind each one can vary, so we test the machine instead of guessing. A dishwasher that won't drain might have a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose, a failed drain pump, or a problem with the garbage disposal connection under the sink.

These are the issues Burbank homeowners call us about most often:

Standing water in the tub after a cycle ends
Leaks at the door, under the unit, or at the water inlet
Dishes coming out dirty, gritty, or spotted
Dishes not drying, or the heating element not warming up
Cycles that stop partway, run too long, or won't start
Error codes or blinking lights on the control panel
Grinding, humming, or loud noises during the wash
Doors that won't latch or detergent dispensers that won't open

Built-In and Panel-Ready Dishwashers Need Careful Handling

Many Burbank kitchens have dishwashers fitted flush with the cabinetry and covered with a custom door panel that matches the rest of the room. That look depends on precise installation. Pulling the unit out to reach a hose or pump means working around cabinets, countertops, and flooring you don't want scratched.

We take our time with this part. We protect the floor, support the custom panel when the door is open, and check the mounting brackets and leveling when the unit goes back in. If your Viking or Thermador dishwasher sits next to a Sub-Zero refrigerator or a Wolf range, we work with the same care around those appliances as well.

What to Expect From a Repair Visit

When we arrive, we ask what you've noticed: when the problem started, whether it happens every cycle, and whether any error codes have appeared. Then we inspect and test the dishwasher, which may mean running a short cycle, checking water inlet and drain flow, and testing parts like the pump, heating element, and door switch.

Once we find the cause, we explain what's wrong and what the repair involves, so you can decide how to proceed. If a part needs to be ordered, we tell you so and schedule a return visit to finish the job. Before you leave the dishwasher unattended, we'll let you know if it's safe to run in the meantime.

Hard Water and Everyday Dishwasher Care

Tap water in much of Southern California tends to be hard, and mineral buildup is a common reason dishwashers lose performance over time. Scale can narrow spray arm holes, coat the heating element, and leave a cloudy film on glasses. In some cases a simple cleaning restores normal operation. In others, the buildup has already worn out a part.

A few habits help a dishwasher last longer between service calls:

Clean the filter regularly, following your owner's manual
Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled if your model has one
Scrape off large food scraps, but you don't need to pre-rinse heavily
Run hot water at the sink before starting a cycle
Check spray arms for clogged holes now and then
