Your kitchen stays dry and your routine stays normal. No more hand-washing dishes for a family of four. No more puddles spreading across your kitchen floor, threatening your cabinets and flooring underneath.
When we’re done, your dishwasher drains completely, seals tight, and runs quiet. You’ll load it up after dinner and wake up to spotless dishes, just like it should be.
That’s what happens when the repair is done right the first time by technicians who actually know what they’re doing.
Fast Action Appliance has been providing appliance service throughout Medford neighborhoods – from West Medford to South Medford, Wellington to Fulton Heights. We know these homes, and we know how hard the local water can be on your appliances.
Edward and our team have seen every dishwasher problem you can imagine. Leaking Maytags in Lawrence Estates. KitchenAids that won’t drain near Wright’s Pond. Bosch units with door seal issues in Central Medford.
We’re the local guys who show up when we say we will, fix what’s actually broken, and charge you fairly for both parts and labor.
First, we diagnose the actual problem – not just the symptoms you’re seeing. Leaking water might be a bad door gasket, but it could also be a clogged drain line or an unlevel unit. We check everything.
Next, we explain what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix. Parts are billed at exactly what they cost us – no markup, no “handling fees.” Labor follows standard industry pricing, nothing inflated.
Then we fix it right there, same visit. We carry common parts for most major brands, and we have supply relationships throughout Medford for anything we don’t have on the truck. Your dishwasher gets repaired that day, not scheduled for sometime next week.

Every dishwasher service call includes a complete diagnostic check of your unit’s major systems – drain pump, water inlet valve, door seals, filter, and control board. We don’t just fix the obvious problem and leave.
In Medford’s older homes, we pay special attention to installation issues that cause ongoing problems. Dishwashers need to be level to drain properly, and many units we see have been sitting crooked for years, causing premature wear on seals and pumps.
We also clean your filter and check your drain line connection while we’re there. These simple maintenance steps prevent most emergency appliance repair calls and extend the life of your dishwasher significantly.
Most dishwasher repairs in Medford run between $150-$350, depending on what’s actually broken. A simple drain line cleaning might be $150, while replacing a control board could be $300-$350.
We don’t charge diagnostic fees if you proceed with the repair. If your dishwasher isn’t worth fixing, we’ll tell you upfront and only charge a small trip fee. Parts are billed at our exact cost – no markups or “handling charges” that some companies add.
The key is getting an honest assessment of what’s wrong and whether the repair makes financial sense compared to replacement.
Bottom leaks usually come from three places: the door gasket, the drain hose connections, or a clogged filter causing overflow. Door gaskets wear out over time and let water seep out during the wash cycle.
Loose drain hose clamps are common in Medford’s older homes where dishwashers have been replaced but the connections weren’t properly tightened. A clogged filter can cause water levels to rise too high, forcing water out through the door seals.
We check all three areas during our diagnostic and fix whatever’s actually causing your specific leak. Most bottom leaks are straightforward repairs that don’t require major parts replacement.
Yes, drainage problems are one of the most common dishwasher issues we fix in Medford. Usually it’s either a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or a problem with the garbage disposal connection.
Food particles, grease, and soap buildup accumulate in the filter over time, restricting water flow. The drain hose can develop kinks or clogs, especially where it connects under your sink. If you have a garbage disposal, the knockout plug might not have been removed when the dishwasher was installed.
We clear the blockage, clean the filter thoroughly, and check the entire drain path to ensure proper water flow. Most drainage issues are resolved in a single visit.
We repair all major dishwasher brands – Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, GE, Bosch, Frigidaire, and others. Each brand has its common failure points and specific repair procedures, which our technicians know well.
Bosch dishwashers, popular in Medford’s newer developments, often have door latch issues. Older Whirlpool and KitchenAid units frequently need new door seals. GE models sometimes have control board problems after 7-10 years of use.
We stock parts for the most common repairs across all major brands and can source specialty parts quickly for less common models. Age and brand don’t determine whether your dishwasher can be fixed – the specific problem and repair cost do.
Most dishwasher repairs are completed the same day you call, assuming we have the necessary parts. We carry common replacement parts – door seals, drain pumps, control boards, and filters – for most major brands.
For less common parts, we have supplier relationships throughout the greater Boston area and can usually get what we need within 24 hours. Emergency repairs for leaking dishwashers get priority scheduling since water damage gets worse the longer you wait.
We understand that a broken dishwasher disrupts your entire household routine. That’s why we focus on same-day repairs whenever possible rather than scheduling you out for days or weeks.
Generally, if the repair cost is less than half the price of a comparable new dishwasher, repair makes financial sense. A $200 repair on a 7-year-old dishwasher is usually worth it, while a $400 repair on a 12-year-old unit might not be.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of your dishwasher’s condition and expected lifespan after repair. Sometimes multiple small problems indicate that major components are wearing out, making replacement the smarter choice.
With new dishwasher prices increasing significantly, many repairs that might not have made sense a few years ago are now cost-effective. We’ll help you make the decision that makes the most financial sense for your specific situation.
