Your dishwasher breaks, your whole routine falls apart. Suddenly you’re hand-washing everything, water’s pooling on your floor, or your dishes come out dirtier than when they went in.
We fix it right the first time. No more standing water in the bottom of your machine. No more dishes that smell like old food. No more wondering if that grinding noise means you need a whole new appliance.
When we’re done, your dishwasher runs like it should. Your dishes come out spotless. Your kitchen stays dry. You get back to your life without the headache of a broken appliance hanging over you.
Fast Action Appliance has been fixing dishwashers for Reading Highlands homeowners who need their kitchens working again, not next month. We’ve seen every dishwasher problem you can imagine, from simple clogs to complex pump failures.
Reading Highlands homes deal with hard water that builds up mineral deposits in dishwasher components. We know which parts fail first in your area and keep them in stock. When your neighbor’s dishwasher started leaking last month, we probably fixed one just like it the week before.
You’re not getting a generic repair service. You’re getting technicians who understand exactly what breaks in your neighborhood and how to fix it fast.
You call, we listen to what’s happening with your dishwasher. No phone tag or waiting for callbacks. We schedule a time that works for you, usually same-day for emergencies.
Our technician shows up with the tools and common parts needed for most repairs. We diagnose the problem, explain what’s wrong in plain English, and give you an upfront price before we start any work.
Most repairs take under two hours. We test everything before we leave to make sure your dishwasher runs properly. You get a working appliance and know exactly what was fixed and why it failed in the first place.

Most dishwasher repairs in Reading Highlands cost between $150-$400, depending on what’s broken and which parts need replacement. Simple fixes like unclogging a drain hose or replacing a door seal run on the lower end. More complex repairs involving pumps, motors, or control boards cost more.
We give you an exact price before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees. If the repair cost approaches what you’d pay for a new dishwasher, we’ll tell you honestly and let you decide what makes sense for your situation.
Door seals wear out over time and let water escape during wash cycles. This is the most common cause of dishwasher leaking we see in Reading Highlands homes. The rubber gasket around the door gets cracked or warped from repeated use.
Loose hose connections under the dishwasher also cause leaks. These connections can vibrate loose over time or fail when rubber washers deteriorate. Sometimes the drain hose itself develops cracks where it bends. We check all these areas during our diagnostic and fix whatever’s causing your leak.
Food particles build up in your dishwasher’s filter and drain hose, creating clogs that prevent proper drainage. Reading Highlands’ hard water makes this worse by allowing mineral deposits to accumulate alongside food debris.
Your garbage disposal connection might also be blocked if your dishwasher drains through it. We clear both the dishwasher drain system and check the disposal connection. Sometimes the drain pump itself fails and needs replacement to restore proper drainage.
Most dishwasher repairs take 1-2 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple repairs like replacing a door latch or unclogging a drain can be done in under an hour. More involved repairs like replacing a wash pump or control board might take closer to two hours.
We bring common replacement parts with us, so we don’t usually need to order parts and come back later. If we do need a special part, we’ll let you know upfront how long it will take to get and schedule a follow-up visit.
If your dishwasher is under 7 years old and the repair costs less than half of a replacement, fixing it usually makes sense. Newer dishwashers with single problems like a failed pump or control issue are worth repairing.
Older dishwashers with multiple problems or extensive rust damage might be better replaced. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about whether repair makes financial sense. You’ll never get pressured into an unnecessary repair when replacement is the smarter choice.
We repair all major dishwasher brands including Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Bosch, Maytag, and Frigidaire. Each brand has different common failure points, and we stock parts for the models most common in Reading Highlands homes.
Some high-end European brands require special parts that take longer to source, but we can still service them. We’ll let you know upfront if your dishwasher needs special-order parts and how that affects timing and cost.
