We fix that problem fast. When your dishwasher breaks down, you get same-day service that actually solves the issue the first time. No more scrubbing plates by hand, no more water damage creeping across your kitchen floor, and no more wondering if the repair will actually last.
Your kitchen runs like clockwork again. You load the dishwasher, press start, and know your dishes will come out spotless and dry—exactly like it should work every single time.
We’ve been fixing dishwashers in Porter Square and Cambridge for years, earning our reputation one successful repair at a time. We’re not the cheapest option—we’re the one that actually fixes your problem correctly the first time.
Porter Square residents deal with packed schedules, premium appliances, and kitchens that need to work flawlessly every day. We get that when your dishwasher fails, you need someone who arrives on time, diagnoses the real problem quickly, and fixes it right without any drama.
We live and work in this community. Your neighbors are our customers, and that matters to how we approach every single job.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your dishwasher. Is it leaking? Not draining? Leaving dishes dirty? We ask the right questions to understand the problem before we even head to your home.
Our technician arrives with the tools and most common parts already loaded on the truck. We diagnose the actual issue—not just the symptoms you’re seeing. Whether it’s a clogged filter, worn door seal, broken pump, or drain line problem, we identify the root cause fast.
Then we explain exactly what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and how long the repair takes. No surprises, no upselling, no pressure tactics. If your dishwasher is beyond economical repair, we’ll tell you that straight up. Once you approve the work, we fix it properly and test everything thoroughly before we pack up.
Ready to get started?
We repair dishwashers that won’t start, won’t drain, leak water onto your floor, leave dishes dirty, make weird noises, or have broken door latches. Our service covers all major brands including Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Bosch, Frigidaire, and Maytag.
Porter Square homes often feature dishwashers installed in tight spaces with specific plumbing setups. We know how to work efficiently in these Cambridge kitchens without turning your day upside down. We also understand the local water quality issues that can affect dishwasher performance over time.
You get transparent pricing before any work starts, same-day service when possible, and repairs that actually hold up. We stock the most common replacement parts on our trucks, which means most repairs get wrapped up in one visit without waiting around for special orders.
Dishwasher leaks typically stem from three main culprits: a worn door seal, a clogged drain causing overflow, or loose connections underneath the unit. The door seal is that rubber gasket running around the dishwasher door—over time, food particles and detergent buildup prevent it from sealing properly, or the rubber itself cracks and becomes brittle.
If water sits inside the dishwasher after a cycle finishes, your drain filter is probably clogged with food debris, preventing proper drainage and causing overflow. Sometimes the leak originates from underneath due to loose hose connections or a cracked water supply line.
We diagnose leaks by examining the door seal condition, inspecting the drain filter and drain hose, and checking all water connections under the unit. Most leak repairs get completed the same day with the right replacement parts on hand.
Dishwasher repair costs depend on what’s actually broken, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. Simple fixes like cleaning a clogged filter or replacing a door seal typically run less than major component replacements like a new pump or control board.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what the repair costs before we begin. No hidden fees, no hourly charges that keep climbing, and no surprise costs when the job wraps up.
For Porter Square residents, we also weigh whether repair makes financial sense compared to replacement. If your dishwasher is older and the repair cost approaches 50% of a new unit’s price, we’ll recommend replacement instead of wasting your money on a temporary fix.
Same-day dishwasher repair is available for most service calls in Porter Square, especially for common problems like leaking, drainage issues, or dishwashers that won’t start. We stock the most frequently needed parts on our service trucks, allowing us to complete most repairs in one visit.
Emergency situations—like a dishwasher flooding your kitchen floor—get priority scheduling. We understand that some dishwasher problems can’t wait, especially when water damage becomes a concern.
The only time same-day service isn’t possible is when your dishwasher needs a specialized part that must be ordered, or if we’re already packed with emergency calls. Even then, we’ll schedule you for the next available slot and provide temporary solutions when possible to minimize the hassle.
The decision hinges on your dishwasher’s age, the repair cost, and how often it’s been acting up. If your dishwasher is less than 7 years old and this is the first major repair, fixing it usually makes sense. If it’s over 10 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement often delivers better long-term value.
We use the 50% rule as a guideline: if the repair cost exceeds 50% of what a comparable new dishwasher would cost, replacement typically makes more financial sense. We also consider how many repairs you’ve needed recently—multiple service calls in a short period often signal it’s time to upgrade.
We’ll give you straight advice about repair versus replacement based on your specific situation. We’re not trying to sell you a new dishwasher, but we won’t recommend throwing money at a repair that doesn’t make economic sense either.
We service all major dishwasher brands including Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Bosch, Frigidaire, Maytag, LG, Samsung, and most other residential models. Our technicians receive ongoing training on new models and technology, keeping us current with the latest dishwasher designs and common failure points.
Each brand has specific quirks and common problems—Bosch dishwashers often develop drain pump issues, while GE models frequently need door latch repairs. We know these patterns and stock the most common replacement parts for each brand on our service trucks.
Whether you have a basic model or a high-end dishwasher with advanced features, we have the expertise and parts availability to diagnose and repair the problem correctly. We work on both built-in and portable dishwashers, plus commercial units for small businesses in the Porter Square area.
Dishwashers that won’t drain properly usually have a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or problems with the garbage disposal connection. The filter at the bottom of your dishwasher tub catches food particles and debris—when it gets clogged, water can’t drain out properly and pools in the bottom of the unit.
Sometimes the drain hose connecting your dishwasher to the kitchen sink or garbage disposal develops kinks or blockages. If you have a garbage disposal, a clog there can also prevent your dishwasher from draining since they share the same drain line.
We start by checking and cleaning the dishwasher filter, then inspect the entire drain system including the hose connections and garbage disposal knockout. Most drainage problems get resolved by clearing blockages, though sometimes a faulty drain pump needs replacement. The key is identifying where the blockage actually occurs rather than just treating the symptoms you see.
