Your dishwasher isn’t just a convenience—it’s what keeps your family fed and your evenings free. When it stops draining, starts leaking, or leaves your dishes dirty, everything gets harder.
We fix the problem fast so you can get back to what matters. No more standing water in the bottom. No more scrubbing dishes twice. No more wondering if tonight’s dinner cleanup will take an hour.
Most repairs are done the same day we arrive. You call, we come out, we fix it, and you’re back to loading dirty dishes and pulling out clean ones.
Fast Action Appliance has been fixing dishwashers for North Tewksbury families who need their kitchens working again. We know the homes in this area—from the older colonials near the Merrimack to the newer developments off Route 38.
We understand that when your dishwasher breaks, it’s not just an inconvenience. It’s dishes piling up, family routines disrupted, and stress you don’t need.
We’ve seen it all: Bosch units that won’t drain, KitchenAid models with broken spray arms, and GE dishwashers that just stopped working one day. Every repair gets the same attention—fix it right the first time so you don’t see us again unless you want to.
You call us with the problem. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening—is it leaking, not cleaning, making noise, or just dead?
We schedule a time that works for you, often the same day. Our technician arrives with the tools and most common parts already on the truck.
We diagnose the issue, explain what’s wrong in plain language, and give you an upfront price. No surprises, no “we’ll see what we find.” If you approve the repair, we fix it on the spot. Most jobs are done in under an hour.
You test it out, we clean up, and you’re back to loading dirty dishes without thinking about it. That’s how it should be.

We handle the full range of dishwasher issues that North Tewksbury homeowners face. Leaking from the door seal, water not draining, dishes coming out dirty, strange noises during the cycle, or units that won’t start at all.
North Tewksbury’s water can be hard on dishwashers over time. We see a lot of mineral buildup in spray arms and heating elements, especially in homes near the river areas. We know which parts fail first in different brands and keep them stocked.
Whether your dishwasher is five years old or fifteen, we can usually get it running again for a fraction of replacement cost. The average dishwasher repair runs $150-300, while a new unit costs $800-1200 plus installation. The math is simple when the repair makes sense.
Most dishwasher repairs in North Tewksbury run between $150-300, depending on what’s wrong and which parts need replacing. Simple fixes like unclogging drains or replacing door seals are on the lower end. More complex repairs like pump or heating element replacement cost more.
We give you an upfront price before starting any work. No hourly charges that keep climbing or surprise fees when we’re done. You know exactly what you’re paying before we touch your dishwasher.
The service call and diagnosis are included in the repair cost. If you decide not to repair, there’s a small diagnostic fee, but most people find the repair makes sense when they see the price compared to replacement.
Yes, we offer same-day dishwasher repair service throughout North Tewksbury when you call early enough in the day. Most repairs don’t require special ordering parts—we stock the common items that break on our service trucks.
Emergency situations like major leaks or complete breakdowns get priority scheduling. We understand that some dishwasher problems can’t wait, especially if water is involved or you have a house full of people.
If we can’t get there the same day, we’ll schedule you for first thing the next morning. We don’t make you wait a week for someone to look at your dishwasher when it’s something we can fix quickly.
We repair all major dishwasher brands including Bosch, KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, and Frigidaire. Each brand has its common failure points and we stock the parts that break most often.
Bosch dishwashers, popular in North Tewksbury homes, often have drain pump issues. KitchenAid models sometimes need new wash pump motors. GE units frequently have door latch problems. We’ve worked on them all and know what to expect.
High-end brands like Miele or Sub-Zero require special ordering parts sometimes, but we can still service them. We’ll let you know upfront if we need to order anything and how long it will take to get your dishwasher running again.
If your dishwasher is less than eight years old and the repair costs less than half of a new unit, repair usually makes the most sense. New dishwashers cost $800-1200 plus installation, while most repairs run $150-300.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of your dishwasher’s condition. If it’s had multiple problems or the repair cost is getting close to replacement cost, we’ll tell you. We’re not trying to sell you a repair that doesn’t make financial sense.
Age isn’t everything though. A well-maintained 10-year-old dishwasher might be worth repairing if it’s only had minor issues. A 5-year-old unit that’s had constant problems might be better replaced. We help you make the right decision for your situation.
Most drainage problems come from food particles clogging the filter, drain hose, or garbage disposal connection. North Tewksbury’s older homes sometimes have kitchen plumbing that backs up into the dishwasher drain line.
The drain pump can also fail, especially in dishwashers that are 7-10 years old. You’ll see standing water in the bottom that won’t go away even after running a cycle. Sometimes the pump just gets clogged with debris and needs cleaning.
We check the entire drainage system—filter, hose, pump, and disposal connection. Most drainage issues can be fixed in one visit without replacing major components. It’s usually a matter of clearing blockages and making sure water has a clear path out of the unit.
Most dishwasher repairs take 30 minutes to an hour once we start working. Simple problems like replacing a door seal or clearing a clogged filter are done quickly. More involved repairs like pump replacement might take 90 minutes.
We come prepared with the most common parts on our truck, so there’s usually no waiting for special orders. The diagnosis takes about 15 minutes, then we explain what’s wrong and give you a price before starting the actual repair work.
If we need to order a part, we’ll let you know how long it will take and schedule a return visit. But most repairs in North Tewksbury homes can be completed in one trip because we stock the parts that break most often in this area.
