You know that sinking feeling when you open your dishwasher and nothing’s clean. Or worse, when there’s water pooling on your kitchen floor. We fix those problems so you can stop hand-washing every plate and get back to the things that matter.
Most dishwasher issues aren’t as complicated as they seem. A clogged drain line, worn door seal, or faulty pump can usually be repaired the same day. You don’t need a new dishwasher—you need someone who knows how to fix the one you have.
When we’re done, your dishes come out spotless every time. No more rewashing. No more standing at the sink for an hour after dinner. Just clean dishes when you need them.
Fast Action Appliance has been fixing dishwashers in Countryside and the surrounding Massachusetts communities for years. We’ve seen every problem these machines can throw at you, from simple clogs to complex control board failures.
Our technicians work on all major brands daily. When you call us, you’re not getting someone who dabbles in appliance repair. You’re getting specialists who understand how modern dishwashers work and what goes wrong with them.
We keep common parts on our trucks because we know what breaks most often. That means we can usually fix your dishwasher on the first visit instead of making you wait for parts to arrive.
First, we diagnose the real problem. Not just the symptom you’re seeing, but what’s actually causing it. A dishwasher that won’t drain might have a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or failing pump. We figure out which one before we start any work.
Next, we explain what we found and give you a clear price for the repair. No surprises, no hidden fees. If it’s something simple, we’ll tell you. If your dishwasher has multiple issues, we’ll prioritize what needs to be fixed first.
Then we get to work with the right parts and tools. Most repairs take an hour or two. We test everything thoroughly before we leave to make sure your dishwasher is working properly. You’ll know it’s fixed because your dishes will be clean.

Every repair comes with genuine manufacturer parts when available. We don’t use cheap aftermarket components that fail in six months. You get the same quality parts the manufacturer would use, often with better warranties than the originals.
Our service covers the complete repair, not just the broken part. If your dishwasher is leaking, we don’t just replace the door seal and leave. We check the drain connections, inspect the wash arms, and make sure nothing else is contributing to the problem.
In Countryside’s older homes, we often find dishwasher problems that stem from installation issues or aging plumbing connections. We address these underlying causes so you don’t have the same problem again in a few months. Many of our customers are surprised to learn their “old” dishwasher works better than ever after a proper repair.
Most dishwasher repairs cost between $150-$400, while a new dishwasher installation runs $600-$1,500 or more. The math is usually pretty clear, especially if your dishwasher is less than 10 years old.
Even expensive repairs like replacing a wash pump or control board typically cost less than half of what you’d pay for a comparable new dishwasher. Plus, you avoid the hassle of shopping, delivery, and installation.
We’ll always be honest about when replacement makes more sense than repair. But in most cases, a good repair will give you several more years of reliable service at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Door seals are the most common culprit, especially on dishwashers that are 5+ years old. The rubber gasket around the door gets worn or torn, letting water escape during the wash cycle. This is usually a straightforward repair.
Loose or damaged drain connections under the dishwasher can also cause leaks. Sometimes the drain hose works loose from the garbage disposal or sink drain. Other times, the hose itself develops a crack or hole.
Less commonly, internal components like the wash pump housing or tub can develop leaks. These are more serious repairs, but they’re often still worth fixing depending on the age and condition of your dishwasher.
A clogged filter is usually the first thing to check. Most people don’t realize dishwashers have filters that need regular cleaning. When they get clogged with food particles and grease, water can’t drain properly.
The drain hose can also get blocked, especially where it connects to your garbage disposal or sink drain. Sometimes the garbage disposal itself is clogged, which backs up into the dishwasher drain line.
If the filter and drain connections are clear, you might have a failing drain pump. The pump that pushes water out of the tub can wear out over time, especially if it’s been working against clogs for months or years.
Most common repairs like replacing door seals, unclogging drains, or fixing wash arms take 1-2 hours. We carry the most common parts on our trucks, so we can usually complete these repairs on the first visit.
More complex issues like control board replacement or wash pump installation might take 2-3 hours. Occasionally, we need to order specific parts for older or less common dishwasher models, which adds a few days to the timeline.
Emergency repairs for major leaks or complete failures get priority scheduling. We understand that a broken dishwasher disrupts your entire routine, especially if you have a busy household or are hosting guests.
We work on all major dishwasher brands including Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Bosch, Maytag, Frigidaire, and Samsung. Each brand has its quirks, but the basic repair principles are similar across manufacturers.
Newer smart dishwashers with WiFi connectivity and touch controls require specialized diagnostic tools and training. Our technicians stay current with these technological advances so we can service the latest models as well as older mechanical units.
For very old or discontinued models, parts availability can sometimes be an issue. We’ll always check parts availability before starting any work and let you know if we foresee any supply problems.
For emergency situations like major leaks or complete failures, we offer same-day service when possible. We keep our schedule flexible specifically for these urgent repairs that can’t wait.
Non-emergency repairs are typically scheduled within 24-48 hours. This gives us time to ensure we have the right parts and can dedicate enough time to properly diagnose and fix your dishwasher.
During busy periods or extreme weather, scheduling might extend a bit longer. But we always communicate realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
