Counted from the 22 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Texas holds 22 listed dishwasher repair businesses, out of 664 nationwide. That ranks 2nd of the 50 states with any, behind Florida on 26. They are 22 of the 58 businesses listed in Texas — 38% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.7, against 4.6 across all 664 listed nationwide, and 20 of the 22 sit at 4.5 or better. 1 holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 3,896 reviews, the largest single tally being 914 on Appliance Rescue Service in Addison. 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 Appliance Rescue Service in Addison (914 reviews, 4.9), ABA Appliance Repair, Inc. in Austin (589 reviews, 4.2) and Tony Appliance Repair in Austin (429 reviews, 4.7). By rating it is West Fix Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 103 reviews, Appliance Rescue Service at 4.9 on 914 reviews and GREENTEK at 4.9 on 209 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 22 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 7 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 6 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 22 advertises 24/7 emergency callout, and 3 advertise same-day service. 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.
10 of the 22 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 14 years. Austin holds the most at 6 — 27% of the group — followed by Houston on 4, across 7 Texas cities with an index page. Between them they name 76 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.

Not counted above
These are real Texas companies whose records carry contact details but no list of what they repair. None of them states dishwasher repair, so none is counted in the 22 above, and none is listed here as servicing one. Asking takes one phone call, which beats starting the search again.

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. Texas sits 2nd of 50 on 22.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Texas 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.
