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.

Why Dishwashers Break Down
Inside a Dishwasher Repair Visit
Troubleshooting first? Start with dishwasher not drying dishes or dishwasher not filling with water.
If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking
A leak from the water supply line tends to show up as dampness under the front of the unit; leaks at the door often trace back to a dirty, loose or damaged gasket, a bent or loose latch, or a unit that is not level. Source: Whirlpool - How to Fix a Leaking Dishwasher
Built-in dishwashers are typically specified for their own properly grounded 120-volt branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse, with no extension cords or adapter plugs. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions

City of Newark Department of Water and Sewer Utilities, which supplies Newark, reports hardness of soft: about 46 ppm for the city's own (Pequannock) supply and 53 ppm for the Wanaque (NJDWSC) supply, per the 2020 report. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
