Getting Ready for the Repair
- The brand, model and serial number from the label on the edge of the door or the side of the tub opening
- Whether the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal or straight to the sink drain
- What happens during the cycle (no start, no fill, no drain, leaks, dirty or wet dishes)
Around Waco
Most dishwasher calls in Waco 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
