Reston notes
Dishwashers in Reston kitchens
Plenty of Reston kitchens have been remodeled more than once, and every remodel changes something about the dishwasher hookup. Drain hoses get rerouted, disposals get added, and the high loop or air gap sometimes disappears along the way. When a dishwasher won't drain or starts to smell, we follow the whole drain path from the tub to the sink before touching the pump.
If a new disposal went in recently, check that the knockout plug inside its dishwasher inlet was removed. If it wasn't, the dishwasher has nowhere to drain.
Film on glasses usually comes from hard water and too little rinse aid. Fairfax Water's hardness runs from 51 to 185 mg/L depending on plant and season, so if film shows up, turn up the rinse aid and set the dishwasher's hardness level to match.
A dishwasher that stops mid-cycle with an error is usually reporting a drain, fill or heating problem. Write the code down; our error code pages cover the main dishwasher brands.

Frequently asked questions
Dishwasher Repair in Reston, VA FAQ
Can someone come fix my dishwasher today in Reston?
We're based in Alexandria, about 20 miles from Reston. Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the technician route has open windows; call or book online for the earliest option. Appointments cost the same on weekdays, evenings and weekends - our hours run 8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, all at one standard rate.
Many dishwasher repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
How much does it cost to fix a dishwasher in Reston?
Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Clogged filters and drain pumps sit at the lower end; circulation pumps, heaters and control boards climb from there. Diagnosis comes first and the exact quote before any work - and where hard water is the real culprit, we tell you rather than replacing parts that were never the problem. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
What dishwasher problems do you fix in Reston?
Common calls include dishwasher not draining, dishwasher leaking, dishes not clean, bad smell, cycle not finishing and door latch issues. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
My dishwasher stopped draining after a kitchen remodel. Why?
The drain hookup is the first suspect. A missing high loop, a hose kinked behind the cabinet or a disposal knockout plug left in place can all stop drainage. We check the install before replacing a pump.
What does the water-hardness setting on my dishwasher do?
It tells the dishwasher how hard your water is, so it can adjust rinse-aid use and, on models with a built-in softener, how often to regenerate it with salt. Matching it to your local water helps with spots and film.
Should I try to fix the dishwasher myself first?
Safe first steps: clean the filter at the tub floor, make sure the spray arms spin freely, and confirm the door latches firmly. Water, electricity and pumps live close together in a dishwasher, so anything past those checks belongs to a technician.
