Most Kenmore dishwasher repairs in Germantown involve the same few systems: the filter and drain, the water supply, the door latch, the heat and the controls. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions Kenmore and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
Dishwasher Repairs is independent and not affiliated with Kenmore. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair Kenmore dishwashers and other brands.
Kenmore dishwashers were made for Sears by several manufacturers over the years, so the model number matters more than the badge. Independent technicians can look up the parts from it.

Local Notes for Germantown
Most dishwasher calls in Germantown 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
