Even though it took three trips to fix the dishwasher, (had to order parts two different times), I was told up front what they felt was wrong with it. Rory showed me the damaged wire harness, which was the root cause of other things being damaged, including the circuit board necessitating a third trip. Hometown Hero techs took steps to help reduce the floor from being scratched when the dishwasher was pulled out. The repair was completed under manufacturer's warranty, for which Hometown Hero is qualified to repair. Will consider using Hometown Hero for other repairs on appliances not under warranty.
