Salem Concrete Company Expands Parts Offering, Now Stocking Maytag Dishwasher Parts
Salem, OR – October 26, 2023 – Berrien Concrete LLC, a leading provider of concrete solutions for residential and commercial projects in the Salem, Oregon area, today announced an unexpected, yet welcome, expansion of their product line. While known for their high-quality concrete mixes, ready-mix deliveries, and expert concrete work, Berrien Concrete is now stocking a comprehensive range of Maytag dishwasher parts. This move might seem a little… different, to say the least. But according to company owner, Robert Miller, it’s all about better serving the local community. "We've been building relationships with homeowners and contractors around Salem for years," Miller explained. “We noticed folks were struggling to find quick, local access to dishwasher parts, and frankly, it was a pain for our team too when our own dishwashers acted up! We figured, we’re good at logistics, we’re good at getting things where they need to be, and we have the space – why not help people fix their dishwashers?” From Foundations to Filters: A Diverse Product Range Berrien Concrete isn’t just grabbing a handful of random parts. They’ve invested in a significant inventory covering a wide range of Maytag dishwasher models. Customers can now find everything from common wear-and-tear items like spray arms, door seals, and detergent dispensers, to more complex components like pumps, motors, and heating elements. “We’re talking about the stuff that usually breaks,” says Sarah Chen, Berrien Concrete’s newly appointed “Dishwasher Parts Specialist.” “The little plastic bits, the things that wear out with use, the stuff that makes your dishwasher actually wash dishes. We’ve got it.” Chen emphasized that the company is focusing on providing parts for the most popular Maytag dishwasher models – the ones homeowners are actually using. “We've analyzed local repair requests and stock accordingly. We don't want to clutter things with parts nobody needs.” Why a Concrete Company is Selling Dishwasher Parts? It's a fair question. Miller admits it’s a bit of a departure from their core business. "Look, we're a family-owned business. We believe in serving our community. We have a warehouse, a delivery system, and a team that’s used to handling customer requests. It just made sense." He also noted that the move allows them to diversify their revenue streams and provides a steady flow of business during the slower winter months, when outdoor concrete work often slows down. "It keeps our team busy and gives folks another reason to think of Berrien Concrete when they need something fixed around the house," Miller added. "Plus, it's fun! It's a bit of a challenge to learn a new product line, and we’re enjoying it.” Faster Access, Local Convenience One of the biggest benefits for local customers is the speed and convenience of getting parts. Instead of waiting days for an online order to ship, or driving all over town, customers can now pick up the parts they need directly from Berrien Concrete’s Salem location. “We understand that a broken dishwasher is a pain,” Chen said. “Nobody wants to hand-wash dishes. We aim to get you the parts you need today, so you can get your dishwasher up and running again as quickly as possible.” The company also offers local delivery options for customers who can’t make it to the warehouse. What Kind of Parts Can You Find? Berrien Concrete’s inventory includes, but isn’t limited to: Spray Arms: Both upper and lower spray arms for various models. "These are the things that actually spray the water," Chen explains. "They get clogged, they break, and suddenly your dishes aren’t getting clean." Door Seals & Gaskets: Prevent leaks and ensure a tight seal. “A bad seal can waste a lot of water,” Chen notes. Detergent Dispensers: Replacements for cracked or malfunctioning dispensers. Filters: To trap food particles and keep your dishwasher running smoothly. "Regular filter cleaning is important," Chen stresses. "But sometimes they just need replacing." Pump & Motor Assemblies: For more significant repairs. “These are the bigger-ticket items,” Chen said. “But we have them in stock for common models.” Heating Elements: To ensure your dishes get properly sanitized. Racks & Components: Replacement tines, rack supports, and complete rack assemblies. Water Inlet Valves: To control the flow of water into the dishwasher. Float Switches: To prevent overflows. Various hoses and clamps: For fixing leaks and connections. Beyond Parts: Helping You Get It Fixed While Berrien Concrete isn't a full-service appliance repair shop, they are committed to helping customers get their dishwashers fixed. Chen, the Dishwasher Parts Specialist, is knowledgeable about common dishwasher problems and can offer basic troubleshooting advice. “We can’t come to your house and fix your dishwasher,” Chen clarifies. “But we can certainly point you in the right direction and help you figure out what part you need. We also have links to helpful online repair guides and videos.” Berrien Concrete LLC – Building and Fixing Salem, One Project at a Time Berrien Concrete LLC is located at 2221 Hyacinth St NE Suite 150, Salem, OR, 97301.
