Same $99 diagnostic, same written price, same written warranty on every machine we fix in Edina.
Start at the tap. Edina draws from municipal wells, and the raw water runs hard enough that a dishwasher without a working softener upstream is fighting scale from the first cycle. In the Country Club and Morningside kitchens the dishwasher was retrofitted into a cabinet run that predates it, so the drain often loops through a disposal that was never knocked out properly. Around Southdale and Pamela Park the 1960s ramblers have a basic Whirlpool or Frigidaire under a laminate counter. In Indian Hills and Rolling Green the machine is a panel-ready Bosch, Miele or Thermador that disappears into the cabinetry and needs to be pulled with care. Our route runs I-494 to Hwy 100, then France Ave or Vernon Ave in.
Here is a typical Edina call. Glasses have gone cloudy over a month, the bottom of the tub feels gritty, and the heating element has a grey crust on it. Down in the basement the softener’s brine tank is empty, or the bypass valve got flipped during a plumbing job and nobody flipped it back. The dishwasher is doing its job; the water is not. We test the machine, scrape a sample of the scale, check hardness at the kitchen tap, and tell you which fixes belong to the dishwasher and which belong to the softener. Sometimes the answer is a new inlet valve and a bag of salt.
A drain pump with a stuck impeller, a check valve holding shut, a clogged filter, or a disposal knockout plug still in place after a kitchen remodel. We test the pump directly, clear the path to the drain, and confirm the air gap or high loop is right. Bosch E24 and E25 codes point here.
Hard water scale, nearly every time. We descale the heater and spray arms, test the heater and its relay, and check that the rinse-aid dispenser still opens. Then we check hardness at the tap, because if the softener is out of salt the film will be back in three weeks.
Scale plugging the spray arm holes, a circulation pump losing pressure, a torn spray-arm seal, or water arriving cold because the inlet valve has narrowed. We measure fill volume and water temperature, run a cycle with the door interlock bypassed, and watch what the arms are actually doing.
Door latch or its switch, a control panel that stopped registering touch, a blown thermal fuse on older Whirlpool and KitchenAid units, or simply a tripped GFCI. We check power at the junction box first and then meter the latch and the control.
Door gasket flattened, a spray arm shooting water at the door vent, a cracked pump housing, or a tub seal. We run a full fill with the toe kick off and a flashlight on the floor. In a Country Club kitchen with old hardwood, we catch it before the floor does.
Iron in the well water, oxidized and baked on by the heater. The dishwasher is not causing it. We confirm nothing in the machine is corroding, clean the tub, and explain what an iron filter or a better-tuned softener would do, because scrubbing alone will not keep up.
The visit begins with a hardness test at the sink and a look at the softener, because that changes the diagnosis. Then the lower panel comes off and the dishwasher runs a cycle while we watch the inlet valve open, listen to the circulation pump, and meter the heater when the cycle calls for it. The filter and sump come out for inspection. If the drain is the complaint, the drain hose gets traced to the disposal or the air gap, and the pump gets tested under load. When we know which component failed, we say so in plain language and write a single price. Nothing on the machine is replaced before you have seen that number.
Bosch and KitchenAid are the most common dishwashers we open in Edina, followed by Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire and Maytag, with Miele and Thermador in the built-in kitchens of Indian Hills and Interlachen. In the rental buildings along France Ave and near Southdale, the tenant hosts the visit and the owner approves the written number by text; invoice and written warranty go out by email the same day. The diagnostic is $99 and it is part of the repair price you approve rather than an addition to it. Decline the repair and $99 closes the visit. All prices are written, and all are given after the machine has been tested.
Edina’s well water is hard, and a new dishwasher does not change that. Cloudiness this fast means the softener is not keeping up: out of salt, bypassed, or undersized. We test hardness at the tap and check the machine’s heater and dispenser, then tell you which side the problem is on.
Often, if the fault is a pump, valve, latch or heater. Those are repairable parts and most are on the truck. If the tub is cracked or the control board on an older model is no longer available, we say so after the $99 diagnostic and leave the decision with you.
Yes. Integrated dishwashers in Edina’s Indian Hills and Rolling Green kitchens are part of our regular week. We remove the panel, release the mounting brackets, protect the floor, and reinstall level and flush. Repairs on these machines get the same written price as any other.
Both are drain faults. E24 usually means the drain path is blocked or kinked, or the filter is packed; E25 points to the drain pump or a stuck impeller. We clear what is in the way, test the pump, and check the hose route through the cabinet.
We test first and write the number second. The diagnostic is $99, and when you approve the repair that $99 is inside the written price, not added to it. If you decide the machine is not worth repairing, you pay $99 and nothing else.

Read the guide →Call (763) 342-9995 or send the form. You get a callback with a real arrival window, and a text when the truck is on its way.
The technician tests the machine, names the failed part in plain words, and writes one flat price. The $99 is already inside it.
We stock the parts that actually fail in west-metro homes, so most jobs close the same visit; an ordered part comes back with no second trip fee.
Full test cycle before we pack up, a clean work area after, and a written warranty on the invoice.
One call starts it: $99 finds the fault, one written number, repair from the truck, written warranty.
