Frequently Asked Questions

If a repair costs more than half the price of a new dishwasher, especially for an older model, replacement is usually the better choice. For minor issues on newer dishwashers, using a professional appliance repair service is often worth the investment.

Most issues are caused by user errors or blockages. Installation problems, such as kinked hoses, restricted outlet connections, or power supply issues, also account for a significant number of early service calls.

Dishwashers typically last around 10 years. This is an average reported by manufacturers and confirmed by users, although it doesn’t guarantee a decade without any repairs.

The control board, or electronic control unit, is usually the priciest component. It regulates functions such as wash cycles, water temperature, and timing of washing and drying.

Poor cleaning can result from a dirty filter, incorrect detergent, improper loading, or using the wrong cycle or water temperature. Often, following the maintenance instructions in the owner’s manual can quickly resolve these issues.

We contacted Major Appliance Repair after another company failed to diagnose and fix our range issues. That company actually made the problem worse!I'm very happy with the the work performed by Major Appliance Repair. The burner that was just sparking now lights up and the burner with uneven flames is now even.The cost was reasonable and the work performed quickly. It's been several weeks and the range is working great.
