A Kenmore dishwasher shares most of its basic parts with other dishwashers, but its filter design, drying system, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. The University list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on dishwashers.
Independent listings only: Dishwasher Repairs is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kenmore. If your dishwasher is still under manufacturer coverage, contact Kenmore directly.
Kenmore appliances were sold through Sears for decades, so many owners look for Sears dishwasher repair. The companies here are independent technicians who work on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite dishwashers; they are not Sears.

Local Notes for University
Most dishwasher calls in University 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.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a University Technician
- If the dishwasher is leaking, will you pull the kick panel to find where the water starts?
- Will you check the filter, drain hose and disposal connection before replacing the pump?
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
