Your dishwasher breaks, and suddenly everything stops. Dirty dishes pile up. You’re hand-washing everything. The kids are asking why the kitchen smells weird.
We get it fixed fast. Same day in most cases. No more puddles on your kitchen floor. No more running the same load three times hoping it’ll finally get clean. No more wondering if that grinding noise means you need a whole new dishwasher.
You call, we come out, we diagnose the real problem, and we fix it right the first time. Your dishes come out spotless again. Your kitchen routine gets back to normal. And you don’t have to worry about it breaking down again next week because we use quality parts and stand behind our work.
Fast Action Appliance has been fixing dishwashers and appliances for Sherborn families for years. We know the area, we know the homes, and we know what works.
We understand that when your dishwasher breaks, you need it fixed now, not next week. That’s why we offer same-day service and emergency appointments. We’re not a big corporate chain that treats you like a number.
We’re your neighbors. We live here, work here, and care about doing right by the community. When we say we’ll be there, we show up. When we quote a price, that’s what you pay. And when we fix something, it stays fixed.
You call us and describe what’s happening with your dishwasher. We schedule a time that works for you, usually same-day or next-day depending on your urgency.
Our technician arrives on time and runs a complete diagnostic. We check the drain system, water inlet, door seals, spray arms, and control board. We don’t guess – we test everything to find the root cause.
Before we start any work, we explain exactly what’s wrong and give you an upfront price. No surprises, no hidden fees. If you approve the repair, we get to work using quality replacement parts. Most repairs are completed the same visit.
We test everything thoroughly before we leave. Your dishwasher runs a full cycle while we’re there to make sure it’s working properly. We clean up our work area and show you how to prevent the problem from happening again.

We handle every type of dishwasher problem you’ll encounter. Drainage issues, water leaks, dishes not getting clean, strange noises, error codes, door problems, and heating elements that quit working.
Sherborn homes often have higher-end dishwashers like Bosch, KitchenAid, and Miele. These units need technicians who understand their specific systems and quirks. We work on all major brands and keep common replacement parts in stock.
Our service includes complete diagnostic testing, professional repair using manufacturer-approved parts, and a warranty on both parts and labor. We also provide maintenance tips specific to your dishwasher model and Sherborn’s water conditions to help prevent future problems.
Most dishwasher repairs in Sherborn range from $150 to $400, depending on the problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like cleaning clogged spray arms or replacing door seals cost less. More complex repairs involving pumps, motors, or control boards cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs before we touch your dishwasher. No hidden fees, no surprises when we’re done.
The diagnostic fee is typically $75-$95, which gets applied toward the repair cost if you choose to proceed. This covers our time to properly test your dishwasher and identify the real problem, not just the obvious symptoms.
Most dishwasher repairs are completed in one visit, usually taking 1-2 hours depending on the complexity. Simple repairs like replacing a door latch or cleaning a clogged filter can be done in 30-45 minutes.
More involved repairs requiring pump replacement or control board work might take 2-3 hours. If we need to order a specific part that’s not in stock, we’ll return within 24-48 hours to complete the repair.
We run a full test cycle before leaving to ensure everything works properly. This adds about 45 minutes to the appointment, but it’s essential to verify the repair was successful and your dishwasher is running correctly.
If your dishwasher is less than 7 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes financial sense. Most quality dishwashers should last 10-12 years with proper maintenance.
For older units, consider the repair cost versus remaining lifespan. A $300 repair on a 10-year-old dishwasher might not be wise if you’ll need another repair in six months. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair makes sense for your situation.
Major components like pumps and motors are worth repairing on newer units. Minor issues like door seals, spray arms, and filters are almost always worth fixing regardless of age since these are inexpensive repairs that restore full functionality.
Poor cleaning usually comes from clogged spray arms, dirty filters, or improper loading. Food particles and grease build up in the spray arm holes, reducing water pressure. The bottom filter catches debris but needs regular cleaning to maintain water flow.
Hard water in some Sherborn areas causes mineral buildup on spray arms and heating elements. This reduces cleaning effectiveness over time. Using rinse aid and descaling periodically helps prevent these issues.
Sometimes the problem is mechanical – a failing wash pump motor or damaged spray arm assembly. These require professional diagnosis and repair. We test water pressure, spray arm rotation, and filter condition to identify the exact cause and fix it properly.
Dishwasher leaks are urgent because they can damage your kitchen floor, cabinets, and potentially cause mold problems. Most leaks come from worn door seals, loose hose connections, or cracked door panels.
Door seal leaks are common on older dishwashers. The rubber gasket around the door deteriorates and allows water to escape during the wash cycle. This creates puddles in front of the dishwasher and can seep under flooring.
Internal leaks from pump seals or cracked tubs are more serious and require immediate attention. These can dump gallons of water into your kitchen quickly. If you see water pooling under or around your dishwasher, turn off the water supply and call for emergency repair service.
Yes, we offer same-day dishwasher repair service in Sherborn for most appointments scheduled before 2 PM. Emergency service is available for urgent situations like significant leaks or complete breakdowns during holidays or important events.
Our local Sherborn location allows us to respond quickly to service calls. We stock common dishwasher parts in our service vehicles, so most repairs can be completed the same day without waiting for parts delivery.
For non-urgent repairs, we typically can schedule next-day appointments. We understand that a broken dishwasher disrupts your entire kitchen routine, so we prioritize quick response times and efficient service to get you back to normal as fast as possible.
