How quickly can you come for dishwasher repair in Toronto?
Same-day or next-day may be available depending on location and schedule. Leaks are treated as higher priority to reduce damage.
My dishwasher is not draining. Is it always the pump?
Not always. Common causes include filter blockage, drain hose restrictions, a failed pump, a stuck float, or a control issue. We inspect the full system before recommending parts.
Is it safe to keep running a leaking dishwasher?
No. Even small leaks can cause serious damage to cabinets and flooring. In condos it can damage the unit below. Stop use and request service.

Yes. If replacement is the smarter decision, we can often help with dishwasher installation and proper testing. Share your model and situation when booking.
