Your kitchen doesn’t have to stay disrupted. We fix the problem right the first time, so you can get back to your normal routine without the stress of piled-up dishes or water damage worries.
Most dishwasher issues we see in Holliston homes are straightforward fixes when you know what you’re doing. Clogged drains, leaking seals, faulty pumps—these problems interrupt your day, but they don’t have to ruin your week.
You get your dishwasher working properly again, your kitchen stays dry, and you avoid the headache of hand-washing everything while wondering if the problem will just get worse.
Fast Action Appliance serves Holliston families who need their appliances fixed right, not just patched up temporarily. Edward and our team understand that when your dishwasher stops working, it affects your entire household routine.
We’ve been helping Holliston homeowners deal with appliance breakdowns because we know how these older New England homes can be. The plumbing connections, the tight kitchen spaces, the way dishwashers get installed in these established neighborhoods—we’ve seen it all.
You’re dealing with local technicians who actually live and work in this community, not some corporate chain that sends whoever’s available.
First, we come out and actually diagnose what’s wrong with your dishwasher. No guessing, no trying random fixes that might work. We test the components, check the connections, and figure out exactly what needs attention.
Then we give you a clear estimate before we touch anything. You know what it’s going to cost, what we’re going to do, and how long it should take. No surprises when we’re done.
Once you approve the work, we fix it properly using quality parts that are going to last. We don’t just get it running again—we make sure it’s going to keep running reliably so you’re not calling us back in two weeks.

We handle the full range of dishwasher problems that Holliston homeowners actually face. Leaking water that’s threatening your hardwood floors, drainage issues that leave standing water in the bottom, doors that won’t latch properly, and wash cycles that aren’t getting your dishes clean.
In these older Holliston homes, we often see issues with drain line connections and water supply problems that other repair services miss. The way these houses are plumbed, especially in the established neighborhoods around downtown, creates specific challenges that require local knowledge.
Whether it’s a simple filter cleaning or a complete pump replacement, you get the same thorough approach. We work on all the major brands—Whirlpool, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid—and we keep the common parts on the truck so most repairs get finished the same day.
Most dishwasher repairs in Holliston run between $150 and $300, depending on what’s actually wrong with your unit. Simple fixes like replacing a door seal or cleaning out a clogged drain might cost closer to $100, while more complex issues like pump or motor replacement can reach $400.
We give you an upfront estimate before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. The diagnostic fee gets applied toward your repair cost if you decide to move forward. No hidden charges, no surprise bills when we’re done.
Keep in mind that trying to fix it yourself or hiring the cheapest option often costs more in the long run when the problem isn’t properly diagnosed the first time.
The biggest issues we deal with are drainage problems and leaks. Dishwashers that won’t drain properly, leaving standing water in the bottom, usually have clogged filters or blocked drain lines. This is especially common in Holliston because of how the older homes are plumbed.
Leaking is the other major problem, and it’s one you can’t ignore. Water leaking from the door seals, underneath the unit, or from loose connections can damage your floors and cabinets quickly. We see this a lot when door gaskets wear out or when drain hoses develop cracks.
Other frequent repairs include doors that won’t latch, dishes not getting clean due to spray arm problems, and units that won’t start because of control panel issues. Most of these are straightforward fixes when you have the right parts and experience.
If your dishwasher is less than 8 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of a new unit, repair usually makes more sense. Most quality dishwashers should last 10-15 years with proper maintenance, so a 5-year-old unit with a $200 repair is worth fixing.
However, if you’re looking at major repairs on a unit that’s already 10+ years old, or if you’re having frequent problems, replacement might be the better investment. Older units also tend to be less energy-efficient, so you might save money on utility bills with a newer model.
We’ll be honest about what makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a simple repair gets you several more years of reliable service, and sometimes you’re better off putting that money toward a new dishwasher.
Most dishwasher repairs get completed the same day we come out, assuming we have the right parts on the truck. We stock the most common replacement parts for all major brands, so issues like pump problems, heating elements, and door components usually get fixed on the spot.
For less common parts or specialized components, we can typically get what we need within 1-2 business days. We’ll let you know upfront if we need to order anything and give you a realistic timeline for completion.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling. If your dishwasher is leaking and threatening water damage, or if you have a houseful of dirty dishes and no other way to clean them, we’ll work you in as quickly as possible.
Yes, all our repair work comes with a warranty on both parts and labor. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and the parts used, but you’re covered if the same problem comes back due to our workmanship.
We also use quality replacement parts, not cheap knockoffs that fail quickly. When we replace a pump or heating element, you’re getting a part that’s designed to last, not just get your dishwasher running temporarily.
If you have any issues with the repair work within the warranty period, we come back and make it right at no additional cost. We stand behind our work because we want you calling us for future appliance needs, not because you’re frustrated with a repair that didn’t hold up.
Turn off your dishwasher immediately and stop using it until the leak gets fixed. Water damage can happen quickly, especially on hardwood floors or near cabinets, so don’t run another cycle hoping the problem goes away.
Check if the leak is coming from the door area, underneath the unit, or from visible hose connections. Put down towels to protect your floor and call for repair service as soon as possible. Leaks usually get worse, not better, and the longer you wait, the more damage you might be looking at.
Don’t try to fix it yourself unless you’re comfortable working with plumbing connections and electrical components. Dishwasher leaks can involve water supply lines, drain connections, or internal seals that require proper tools and experience to repair safely.
