Budgeting for a GE Dishwasher Repair

- Heating element replacement: $150–$300 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dishwasher?
- Door replacement: $150–$600 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?
- Dishwasher repair technician labor: $75–$100 per hour Source: HomeAdvisor - How Much Does Dishwasher Repair Cost?
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?

Local Notes for Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Water (Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority), which supplies Pittsburgh, reports hardness of moderately hard (utility's description; no numeric value given). 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. Source: Water Quality FAQ - Pittsburgh Water
Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.
