What the listings say about dishwasher repair in South Dakota

Counted from the 9 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.

South Dakota holds 9 listed dishwasher repair businesses, out of 664 nationwide. That ranks 40th of the 50 states with any, level with Iowa and behind Florida on 26. Every business listed in South Dakota covers it, so this page and the South Dakota directory hold the same 9 businesses.

Their ratings average 4.5, against 4.6 across all 664 listed nationwide, and 8 of the 9 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 320 reviews, the largest single tally being 123 on 605 Appliance Pros in Sioux Falls. 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 605 Appliance Pros in Sioux Falls (123 reviews, 4.6), K & D Appliance Services Inc in Rapid City (67 reviews, 4.4) and The Appliance Doc LLC in Sioux Falls (30 reviews, 4.8). By rating it is The Appliance Doc LLC at 4.8 on 30 reviews, 605 Appliance Pros at 4.6 on 123 reviews and L & M Appliance Specialist 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 9 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 8 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, so call early in the day and ask directly. 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.

4 of the 9 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1997, and the median across those that say is 28 years. Rapid City holds the most at 2 — 22% of the group — level with Sioux Falls, across 7 South Dakota cities with an index page. Between them they name 30 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.

Keep the next call from happening

Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.

    Monthly

    Prevents: Poor cleaning, drainage faults, and odour — the three most common complaints.

  • Clear each spray-arm jet with a toothpick

    Every 3 months

    Prevents: The top rack coming out dirty while the bottom is clean.

  • Run a hot empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner or vinegar

    Monthly

    Prevents: Grease film and scale on the heating element and sump.

What dishwasher repair costs in South Dakota

National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro South Dakota 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.

Typical dishwasher repair jobs with national cost ranges.
RepairParts + 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.

Dishwasher repair in South Dakota — common questions

How many dishwasher repair pros are listed in South Dakota?
9 businesses listed in South Dakota name dishwasher repair among the work they do — 100% of the 9 businesses this directory holds for the state, 40th of the 50 states with any, out of 664 listed nationwide — 1% of them. Rapid City accounts for 2 of them. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in South Dakota.
Which dishwasher repair companies are rated highest in South Dakota?
The Appliance Doc LLC in Sioux Falls at 4.8 on 30 reviews, 605 Appliance Pros in Sioux Falls at 4.6 on 123 reviews, L & M Appliance Specialist in Piedmont at 4.5 on 20 reviews — that is the order the list on this page uses. The most-reviewed is different: 605 Appliance Pros in Sioux Falls, with 123 reviews at 4.6. Read both — a 5.0 on nine reviews and a 4.6 on four hundred are not the same claim.
How much does dishwasher repair cost in South Dakota?
Expect $150–$300 for a common dishwasher repair, parts and labor together, on top of a $50–$100 diagnostic fee that most companies credit against the work if you go ahead. Those are national bands, not South Dakota quotes: labor rates track local wages and drive time, so a dense metro sits at the top of each range and a rural call at the bottom, while the part itself costs about the same anywhere. Get written estimates from two or three of the 9 listed here before authorizing anything.
Which South Dakota city has the most dishwasher repair companies?
Rapid City, with 2 of the 9 — 22% of the group — followed by Sioux Falls on 2. 7 South Dakota cities in total have at least one.
Are dishwasher repair technicians licensed in South Dakota?
All 9 listed here state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. 8 also show a Better Business Bureau accreditation. Licensing for appliance repair is set state by state and sometimes by city or county, so the reliable check is the paperwork: ask which license the company works under, get the number, and confirm it with the issuing authority. Two requirements are national rather than local — sealed refrigerant work needs federal EPA Section 608 certification, and gas work needs a technician qualified for gas appliances.
Can I get same-day or emergency dishwasher repair in South Dakota?
None of the 9 listed here advertises round-the-clock emergency cover. Same-day appointments for common faults are still routine in the trade. Call early in the day and ask directly — a technician who already has the part on the van can often fit you in.
Which dishwasher brands do South Dakota repair pros service?
The dishwasher pros listed in South Dakota name 16 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are Frigidaire (9), GE (9), LG (9), Maytag (9), Samsung (9), Whirlpool (9). Bosch, Miele and Thermador dishwashers use different sump and pump architecture from mainstream US models, and their parts are typically ordered rather than stocked. Confirm brand coverage on the phone so the first visit is not purely a diagnosis.
How long have South Dakota dishwasher repair companies been in business?
4 of the 9 publish one. The longest-established has been trading since 1997, and the median across those that say is 28 years. Use it as one signal among several: what matters more is whether the technician has opened your platform before, and whether the warranty term is written on the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my dishwasher?
Apply the 50% rule. A new dishwasher averages $700 in the US and lasts about 10 years, so a repair quote over roughly $350 on a unit past 7 years old is usually money better spent on a replacement. Below that line, with life left on the clock, repair almost always wins. Ask for parts and labor as separate figures — it is normally the part, not the hours, that pushes a quote past the threshold.
What should I have ready before calling a dishwasher technician in South Dakota?
Model number — the tag is on the tub rim behind the door. Whether it fills, whether it washes, whether it drains. Naming which stage fails halves the diagnosis. Any error code or flashing light pattern. Having those three answers ready is what turns a diagnose-then-return-visit into a single trip. Worth knowing before you call: 1 of the 9 listed in South Dakota also offer appliance installation and 1 offer appliance sales, which can be worth bundling into the same visit.
