You’re not looking for a lecture about appliance care. You want your dishwasher working so you can get back to your life. That’s exactly what we deliver.
Most dishwasher problems look worse than they are. A leaking door seal, clogged drain, or faulty pump – these are Tuesday morning fixes for our technicians. We show up with the right parts, diagnose the actual problem, and get your kitchen back to normal.
The average repair runs around $200, which beats the $500 to $1,000 you’d spend on a new dishwasher. Plus, you avoid the hassle of shopping, delivery, and installation. We fix it, you’re done.
Fast Action Appliance has been serving Powder House Square and surrounding Somerville communities for years. We’re not the biggest appliance repair company, but we’re the one that actually answers the phone and shows up when promised.
Our technicians know dishwashers inside and out – every brand, every common failure point, every shortcut that saves you money. We stock our vans with the parts that actually break, so most repairs happen on the same visit.
Local homeowners call us because we don’t play games with pricing or push unnecessary services. You get straight talk about what’s wrong and what it costs to fix.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your dishwasher. Not cleaning properly? Leaking water? Making strange noises? These details help us bring the right parts and tools.
Next, our technician shows up on time and diagnoses the actual problem. No guessing, no unnecessary part swapping. We test components, check connections, and identify exactly what needs attention. You get a clear explanation and upfront price before any work begins.
Finally, we make the repair right there. Most jobs take under an hour once we know what’s wrong. We test everything, clean up, and make sure your dishwasher runs through a complete cycle. You’re back to clean dishes the same day.

Every repair comes with a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it at no charge. No arguments, no fine print.
We handle the common problems that shut down dishwashers in Powder House Square homes – door seal leaks, clogged drain pumps, faulty water inlet valves, and broken door latches. These account for about 80% of service calls, and we fix them efficiently.
Your repair includes honest pricing based on national standards, not inflated local rates. We waive service call fees when we complete the repair, so you only pay for the actual fix. Parts are genuine OEM components, not cheap substitutes that fail in six months.
Most dishwasher leak repairs in Powder House Square cost between $150 and $250, depending on what’s causing the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a door seal or tightening a loose hose connection run on the lower end.
More involved repairs, like replacing a water pump or fixing a cracked tub, cost more but still beat buying a new dishwasher. We give you an exact price before starting work, so there are no surprises on your bill.
The key is catching leaks early. A small drip under your dishwasher can turn into thousands in water damage if it reaches your flooring or cabinets.
Yes, and it’s usually simpler than you think. Most cleaning problems come from clogged spray arms, dirty filters, or water temperature issues. These are straightforward fixes that don’t require expensive parts.
Sometimes the problem is how dishes are loaded or the type of detergent being used. We check these basics first before assuming something’s broken. If your dishwasher needs new spray arms or a water pump, we’ll explain exactly why and show you the problem.
The goal is getting your dishes actually clean again, not selling you the most expensive repair possible. Most cleaning issues get resolved for under $200.
We offer same-day service when possible, especially for urgent problems like major leaks or complete breakdowns. Most calls we receive in the morning can be handled that afternoon.
Our technicians work throughout Powder House Square and surrounding Somerville neighborhoods, so we’re usually nearby when you need us. We keep common dishwasher parts in our vans, which means most repairs happen on the first visit.
If we can’t make it the same day, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe and stick to it. No showing up three hours late or rescheduling at the last minute.
If your dishwasher is less than 8 years old and the repair costs under $300, fixing it usually makes sense. Newer dishwashers cost $500 to $1,000 plus installation, so a $200 repair saves you significant money.
For older units, it depends on what’s broken. Simple fixes like door seals, filters, or hoses are worth doing regardless of age. Major component failures like motors or control boards might not be cost-effective on a 10+ year old machine.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes financial sense. Sometimes replacement is the smarter choice, and we’ll tell you that upfront.
We repair all major dishwasher brands including Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, and Samsung. Our technicians are trained on the common failure points and repair procedures for each manufacturer.
Different brands have different quirks, but the basic components – pumps, seals, valves, and controls – work similarly across models. We stock universal parts that fit multiple brands, plus brand-specific components for specialized repairs.
Whether you have a basic model or a high-end unit with all the features, we have the experience and parts to get it working properly again.
Most dishwasher repairs take 30 to 90 minutes once our technician arrives and diagnoses the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a door seal or unclogging a drain happen quickly.
More complex repairs involving pumps, motors, or control boards can take up to two hours. We’ll give you a time estimate before starting work so you can plan your day accordingly.
The diagnostic process usually takes 15-20 minutes. We test components, check connections, and identify exactly what needs attention before starting any repair work. This prevents unnecessary delays and ensures we fix the right problem the first time.
