A Cove dishwasher hides behind a panel that matches your cabinets. Cove is the Sub-Zero Group’s dishwasher, so it’s usually installed next to a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf range. We service Cove dishwashers in homes across Colorado Springs, including the Broadmoor area, Flying Horse and Cordera, and in Monument — usually the same day you call.
Try these before booking
- Rinse the filter. It twists out of the floor of the tub. A blocked filter leaves water standing in the bottom and grit on the glasses.
- Fill the rinse aid. Without it, water clings to the dishes instead of sheeting off, and they come out wet and spotted.
- Start with hot water. If the water heater is far from the kitchen, run the faucet until it’s hot before you press start.
Symptoms and causes
- Standing water with a clean filter: a failed drain pump, a pinched drain hose, or a blockage in the air gap or where the hose joins the disposal.
- Dirty dishes: debris in the spray arms, a wash pump that has lost strength, or water that isn’t hot enough. The technician checks the temperature at the machine and tests the heater.
- Wet dishes: the heater, the drying fan or the vent.
- Water on the floor: a tired door seal, a cracked spray arm, a loose connection or a leaking pump seal.
- No response at all: Cove’s buttons are on the top edge of the door; the door switch, the control board and the touch panel are checked one after another.
Heavy panels, balanced springs
The springs that hold a Cove door are tuned to the weight of its wood panel. A door that falls open by itself or snaps shut needs its springs or cables adjusted or replaced — typical after the panel was swapped for a heavier one. If the panel has to come off for a repair, we remove and refit it carefully so the cabinetry stays undamaged.
Factory warranty first
While your Cove is under its factory warranty, go to Sub-Zero Group first; warranty work is done by their authorized service. After that, we diagnose at your home, quote before starting and back the repair with our 3–6 month warranty on parts and labor — see our prices page.
Same kitchen, other appliances: Sub-Zero refrigeration and Wolf cooking. For a restaurant dish machine, see commercial dishwasher repair.
