You’ll have your dishwasher running properly again, cleaning dishes the way it should. No more hand-washing everything or dealing with that puddle of water on your kitchen floor.
We fix the actual problem, not just the symptoms. When we’re done, your dishwasher works like it’s supposed to—quietly, efficiently, and without leaking all over your North Acton kitchen.
Most repairs get completed the same day we show up. You get transparent pricing upfront, so there are no surprises when we hand you the bill.
Fast Action Appliance has been fixing dishwashers in North Acton and surrounding areas for years. We know the common problems that show up in local homes, and we stock the parts that actually fail.
Our technicians are factory-trained on major brands like Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, GE, and Samsung. We’ve seen the same issues hundreds of times, which means we can diagnose your problem quickly and fix it right.
You won’t get a sales pitch about replacing your dishwasher unless it actually makes financial sense. We’ll tell you straight up whether repair or replacement is the smarter choice for your situation.
First, we diagnose the actual problem. Not just what you’re seeing, but what’s causing it. Most dishwasher issues come down to a few common failures—drain problems, pump issues, or control board malfunctions.
Next, we give you a clear explanation of what’s wrong and exactly what it’ll cost to fix. No technical jargon, no hidden fees. Just straight talk about your options.
Then we fix it properly using quality parts. We test everything before we leave to make sure your dishwasher is actually working, not just appearing to work. You’ll know it’s done right because your dishes come out clean and your floor stays dry.

We handle every type of dishwasher problem North Acton homeowners face. Leaking dishwashers, units that won’t drain, poor cleaning performance, strange noises, and complete breakdowns.
Our service covers built-in dishwashers, portable units, and compact models. Whether you’ve got a basic model or a high-end unit, we have the expertise and parts to get it working properly.
North Acton homes often have older dishwashers that just need the right repair to keep running for years. We specialize in extending the life of appliances that other companies might write off as “too old to fix.”
Dishwasher repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your unit. Simple fixes like replacing a door seal or cleaning a clogged filter typically run $150-250. More complex repairs involving pump replacement or control board issues range from $250-400.
We give you the exact price before starting any work. No hourly rates or surprise charges. If your dishwasher needs a part that costs more than half what you’d pay for a decent replacement unit, we’ll tell you that upfront.
Most North Acton dishwasher repairs fall into the $200-300 range and get your unit running properly for several more years.
The big three are drainage issues, leaking, and poor cleaning performance. Drainage problems usually mean a clogged filter, failed drain pump, or blocked disposal connection. These are straightforward fixes that don’t require replacing the whole unit.
Leaking typically happens around the door seal or from loose connections underneath. Poor cleaning often comes down to clogged spray arms, worn wash pump motors, or water temperature issues.
Strange noises during operation usually indicate worn bearings in the wash pump or objects stuck in the chopper assembly. All of these are repairable problems that we see regularly in North Acton homes.
If your dishwasher is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement, fix it. Dishwashers typically last 10-12 years with proper maintenance, so a 5-year-old unit with a pump problem is worth repairing.
For units over 10 years old, it depends on the specific issue and how well the dishwasher has been maintained. A simple door latch repair on a 12-year-old unit makes sense. Replacing the entire wash pump assembly probably doesn’t.
We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll tell you that instead of selling you an expensive repair that won’t last.
Most dishwasher repairs get completed in one visit, usually taking 1-2 hours depending on the problem. Simple issues like replacing a door seal or unclogging a drain line take about an hour.
More complex repairs involving pump replacement or control board work can take up to 2-3 hours. We stock common parts in our service vehicles, so we don’t usually need to schedule a second visit for parts installation.
If your dishwasher needs a special-order part, we’ll get it ordered immediately and return to complete the repair as soon as it arrives. Most parts arrive within 2-3 business days.
Yes, we work on all major dishwasher brands including Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, and Maytag. Our technicians are factory-trained on these brands and carry the most common replacement parts.
We also service high-end brands like Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Viking. These units often need specialized parts and expertise, which we have. Whether you’ve got a basic builder-grade dishwasher or a premium model, we can fix it.
Even older or discontinued models can usually be repaired if parts are still available. We’ll research parts availability for your specific model before recommending repair over replacement.
Turn off the dishwasher immediately and clean up any standing water to prevent floor damage. Check if the leak is coming from the door area or underneath the unit. Door leaks usually mean a worn door seal, while underneath leaks often indicate loose connections or a cracked drain hose.
Don’t run the dishwasher again until the leak is properly diagnosed and repaired. Even small leaks can cause significant water damage to your North Acton kitchen flooring and cabinets if left unchecked.
Call us for same-day service if you’re dealing with an active leak. We’ll identify the source quickly and get it fixed before it causes more damage to your kitchen.
