GE owners in California usually want two things from a repair company: experience with the brand and quick access to parts. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions GE and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with GE, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

Budgeting for a GE Dishwasher Repair
Most GE dishwasher repairs involve common parts and an hour or so of labor. For reference, published cost guides report:
- Drain pump replacement: $150–$400 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dishwasher?
- Detergent / soap dispenser replacement: $50–$90 Source: HomeAdvisor - How Much Does Dishwasher Repair Cost?
- Motor and pump assembly (circulation / wash motor): $400–$600 Source: HomeAdvisor - How Much Does Dishwasher Repair Cost?
- Service call fee (often credited toward the repair if you go ahead): $35–$100 per visit Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dishwasher?
Once a dishwasher is around 10 years old, replacement generally makes more sense than repair. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dishwasher?
Ranges are published estimates, not quotes. See the dishwasher repair cost guide and how long dishwashers last.
Before the Technician Arrives
- The brand, model and serial number from the label on the edge of the door or the side of the tub opening
- What happens during the cycle (no start, no fill, no drain, leaks, dirty or wet dishes)
- Whether the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal or straight to the sink drain
Around California
Most dishwasher calls in California come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Maryland does not issue a separate appliance repair license; the Maryland Board of Plumbing licenses plumbers, natural gas fitters and propane gas fitters, whose trades cover gas connections. Source: License Requirements - Maryland Board of Plumbing (Maryland Department of Labor)
In Maryland, you can check a license with the Maryland Department of Labor occupational license search (Board of Plumbing) or report a problem to the Maryland Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
