1476055 2021-04-03 07:59:00 Our dishwasher's pump has packed up and it won't drain. Can someone recommend a good dishwasher repairman, please?:help:

I'm becoming very tired of standing alongside SWMBO and drying the dishes each night,:angry

C'mon Roscoe, it's called "togetherness"

Open the door and look for it inside, down on the floor of the washer. Reading the instruction book may be a good idea, under troubleshooting.

Presuming you can hear the drain motor running but the water is not draining, if there are no motor sounds then your machine has problems you probably can't fix yourself.

This is the what you do first before you start spending money on it. Exellent advice from Zqwerty. If you search for your machine repair on YouTube you will find similar advice in pictures.

1476061 2021-04-03 21:20:00 Google your brand name dishwasher repairs Auckland. All the major brands have repair people. Fisher and Paykel for example have a repair setup that you book on line and they send someone with the right gear and knowledge to your home to sort it out for you. CliveM (6007)
1476062 2021-04-03 21:24:00 You need to find the agent for your brand of dishwasher. Go to manufacturers website, search for local agent and it should list who does them in your area.
Might not be economical though. Depending on age and parts cost, it could be new dishwasher time.

Sorry, Ken, we don't do "washing dishes togetherness", we only do "sitting on the sofa watching TV togetherness".

Thank you for your help, Zqwerty. We pulled everything out as you said, cleaned it and it seems to be working now.:thanks

I agree with this. Sometimes it gets too expensive that a new one makes sense.
