(469) 638-3215Dishwasher not draining, leaking, leaving dishes dirty or showing an error code? ALAS Appliance Repair fixes built-in, drawer and portable dishwashers across Flower Mound, from Lakeside and the Long Prairie Road corridor to Wellington, Bridlewood and the Cross Timbers estates.
Business Profile

Flower Mound does not draw its own drinking water. The town buys treated lake water through regional suppliers, and like much of North Texas it runs on the hard side. In a dishwasher that shows up as chalky film on glassware, scale in the spray arm holes and a filter that clogs sooner than the manual suggests. Using rinse aid, cleaning the filter monthly and running an occasional cycle with a dishwasher cleaner can slow the buildup before it starts affecting wash performance.
Kitchen styles vary widely across town. Wellington and Wichita Chase homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s typically started with standard builder-grade dishwashers, many since replaced. Estate kitchens in the Cross Timbers more often have panel-ready Miele, Bosch Benchmark or Thermador units hidden behind cabinet fronts, where the custom panel adds weight to the door hinges and springs. If your dishwasher door drops open or will not stay put, mention the panel when you call so we bring the right parts.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Flower Mound from Lakeside and Parker Square along Long Prairie Road (FM 2499) and Cross Timbers Road (FM 1171) to Timbercreek, Wellington, Bridlewood, Montalcino Estates and Canyon Falls.

Yes. We repair panel-ready and fully integrated dishwashers, including Miele, Bosch Benchmark and Thermador, in homes across Flower Mound. Removing and reinstalling a custom panel takes care, and we take time to protect cabinetry and flooring. We explain the fault and give a written estimate before starting.
Most often the filter or drain path is blocked. Clean the filter under the lower rack, then check that the drain hose has a high loop and is not kinked under the sink. If the dishwasher drains into a disposal, run the disposal first. If water still remains, the drain pump or check valve may need replacement.
Cloudiness from mineral film is common with North Texas water. Test it by soaking a glass in white vinegar for a few minutes: if it clears, the cause is hard-water film. If it stays cloudy, the glass may be etched. More rinse aid, a cleaner cycle and a clean filter usually help with film.
