Dishwashers fail in fairly predictable ways, which is good news: many repairs are a single part that a technician can replace in one visit. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention dishwashers at the top.

What Usually Goes Wrong
How a Dishwasher Service Call Usually Goes in Cairo
Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not filling with water or dishwasher smells bad.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff
Shut off the dishwasher's water supply during repairs or whenever it is leaking; the valve is usually under the kitchen sink on the branch line that runs to the dishwasher, and it closes by turning clockwise. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Water Shut-Off Location
Before inspecting or working on a dishwasher, unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
To keep dirty water from siphoning back into the dishwasher, the drain hose is run in a high loop (at least 32 inches high in GE's instructions) or through an air gap; an air gap is called for when local code requires it or when the drain connection sits less than 18 inches above the floor.
