Counted from the 11 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Mississippi holds 11 listed dishwasher repair businesses, out of 664 nationwide. That ranks 33rd of the 50 states with any, behind Wisconsin on 13 and Florida on 26. Every business listed in Mississippi covers it, so this page and the Mississippi directory hold the same 11 businesses.
Their ratings average 4.4, against 4.6 across all 664 listed nationwide, and 8 of the 11 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and 1 sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 375 reviews, the largest single tally being 98 on Brown's Appliance Guys LLC in Pearl. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Brown's Appliance Guys LLC in Pearl (98 reviews, 4.5), Jay's Appliance Repair LLC in Gulfport (87 reviews, 4.4) and Alvin's Repair Service, Inc. in Jackson (65 reviews, 3.2). By rating it is Brown's Appliance Guys LLC at 4.5 on 98 reviews, McKinney Appliance & Satellite Services at 4.5 on 20 reviews and Varner Service Company at 4.5 on 20 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 11 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 9 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation in the profiles. 1 of the 11 advertises 24/7 emergency callout. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
5 of the 11 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1989, and the median across those that say is 31 years. Jackson holds the most at 4 — 36% of the group — followed by Gulfport on 2, across 7 Mississippi cities with an index page. Between them they name 32 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

The 5 most common dishwasher faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.
Dishes come out with food residue still on them
Homeowner fixBlocked spray-arm jets, a filter that has never been cleaned, or inlet water below 120°F. Rarely the wash pump.
Step-by-step: Dishwasher Not Cleaning→Standing water in the bottom at the end of a cycle
Homeowner fixA clogged filter or sump, a kinked drain hose, a blocked air gap at the sink, or a failed drain pump — in that order of likelihood.
Step-by-step: Dishwasher Not Draining→Water seeping from the bottom of the door
TechnicianA hardened or displaced door gasket, or a door that has dropped out of square on worn hinges.
Step-by-step: Dishwasher Leaking→Water under the cabinet with no visible door leak
TechnicianThe wash pump shaft seal, or a loose hose clamp under the tub. Usually spotted first as a swollen cabinet toe kick.
Step-by-step: Dishwasher Leaking→Fills but the wash motor never runs
TechnicianThe door latch switch, the thermal fuse on the control board, or the board itself.
12 published dishwasher guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$100 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.
Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.
Remove and rinse the bottom filter
MonthlyPrevents: Poor cleaning, drainage faults, and odour — the three most common complaints.
Clear each spray-arm jet with a toothpick
Every 3 monthsPrevents: The top rack coming out dirty while the bottom is clean.
Run a hot empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner or vinegar
MonthlyPrevents: Grease film and scale on the heating element and sump.

Every state with a listed dishwasher specialist, most first. Mississippi sits 33rd of 50 on 11.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Mississippi sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.
| Repair | Parts + labor |
|---|---|
| Filter, sump, and spray-arm clean-outOften just the diagnostic; ask to be shown how so you can repeat it. | $80–$160 |
| Door gasket replacementCheap part, fiddly fit — worth having done properly. | $130–$260 |
| Drain pumpHave the sump checked for glass first. | $150–$300 |
| Water inlet valveSymptom is a machine that fills slowly or floods. | $150–$300 |
| Door latch or lock assemblyThe most common no-start cause. | $130–$280 |
| Heating elementDishes wet at the end of a cycle is the tell. | $180–$350 |
9–10 years, the shortest expected life of any major kitchen appliance. Built-in units in hard-water areas trend to the low end unless scale is managed. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.
Blue Book
A quote above $350 on a dishwasher past 7 years old is usually better spent on a replacement.
