Once he even made an electronics part from scratch for me to fix a fridge where the part wasn't available.
Thanks for the contact. I did call them today, and they were able to schedule a service appointment in within 24 hours, which I think is decent.

However, I became impatient and starting ripping apart the dishwasher myself this evening. I tested the inlet solenoid, then the inlet valve, and both were working properly. So, I continued following the water route, took off the side panel, and found some sort of water exchanger for the built in water softener. The tracks/paths in that thing were completely clogged with calcium and lime build up from my well water. It took a few hours, and a jug of CLR, but I have gotten the exchanger pretty clean. I've put it back together, and wowser, the dishwasher works as good as new again! Yay!

I mentioned to the booking lady at Appliance Doctor that I may look at dishwasher myself before the repair person came. They were even nice enough to say I can cancel if I call them first thing in the morning in the event I fixed it - I suspect they think I would be unsuccessful.

Anyway, based on the phone conversation, and booking, I think that Appliance Doctor would be a good place to call for appliance repair, and I will try them one day.
