Dishwashers fail in fairly predictable ways, which is good news: many repairs are a single part that a technician can replace in one visit.

What Greenville Owners Should Know
Greenville Water, which supplies Greenville, reports hardness of very soft: total hardness of finished water averaged about 6 mg/L (range roughly 5-7 mg/L) in the utility's monthly finished water 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.

South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
