Repair cost
Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drain & filter repair cost
Set at the low end of the market band on purpose, because on these machines the filter and the drain path end a large share of these calls before the pump is ever reached — and a page that priced for the pump would be pricing for the exception.
- From $95 diagnostic, credited to the repair
- 59 cities and neighborhoods covered
- OEM parts available on order
- In writing the price, before anything is opened

What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Where the blockage is
A filter and filter plate cleaned, a hose straightened, or a disposal plug removed are the cheap end. A drain pump is the other end, and the diagnostic settles which before anything is agreed.
-
Whether it is outside the appliance
A sink trap, a waste tee, a standpipe or a disposal are not the dishwasher. Where the answer is one of those, the visit is usually the whole cost.
-
Which drawer, on a double
Separate filters and separate drain paths. One blocked drawer is a smaller job than two.
-
Access on an integrated machine
A panel that comes off and goes back aligned, on the machines where the pump has to be reached.

from $145 Dishwasher drain & filter repair
Water standing in the tub at the end of a cycle, or a machine that stops part-way and beeps. On this maker the code for it is published — A3 on a drawer, A20 or E3 on a drop-door — and the maker's own first instruction is the filter, not the pump.
- Filter, filter plate and drain path checked before anything is opened
- The drain hose run and its connection at the sink
- Drain pump tested under load rather than by continuity

Why this row is priced low
Because the maker's own published instruction for a drainage condition names the filter and the drain hose first, and so does our experience. Setting this row against the cost of a pump would mean quoting the exception rather than the rule.
What actually moves it
Whether it ends at a cleaning, a hose, or a pump; whether the connection is at the sink rather than in the machine; and whether the machine has to leave its opening. All four are established at the diagnostic and written down before anything is opened.
The market range
Dishwasher drain work across South Florida sits in a researched market range of roughly $120 to $300 parts and labor. Ours starts at $145. That is a range for the market, not a quote for your machine — exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic.

Before you book
Questions about fisher & Paykel dishwasher drain & filter repair cost
What if it turns out to be the sink and not the dishwasher?
Then you pay the diagnostic and we tell you what needs doing, and you have not bought a pump you did not need. It happens often enough that we look at the sink before the machine.
Does a blocked filter really stop it draining?
Yes, and the maker names it first for that reason. A filter that looks clean on top can be packed underneath, and a machine that cannot pull water through it times out and reports a drainage condition. It is the commonest single finding on this repair.
Is the pump expensive?
It is the top of this row rather than a separate order of cost, and on a double you are replacing one drawer's pump rather than a whole machine's. Where a repair approaches what the appliance is worth you get told that instead of a quote.
