We handle the frustrating stuff—diagnosing the real problem, not just the obvious symptoms. Whether it’s a clogged drain making your dishwasher overflow, a worn door seal that’s leaking everywhere, or a control board that’s gone haywire, we get to the root of it.
Most repairs are done the same day. You get your evening routine back, your kitchen stays dry, and you don’t waste money replacing an appliance that just needed the right fix.

We repair all the common dishwasher issues Somerville homeowners face. Leaking door seals, clogged drain pumps, broken spray arms, faulty control panels, and water inlet valve problems—we handle them all.
Somerville’s older homes often have unique plumbing setups that can complicate dishwasher drainage. We’ve worked with everything from century-old houses with updated kitchens to modern condos with space constraints that affect installation and repair access.
Our service includes same-day repairs for most problems, emergency leak response to prevent water damage, and maintenance advice to keep your dishwasher running longer. We work on all major brands and carry parts for the models most common in Somerville homes.
Most dishwasher repairs in Somerville cost between $150 and $400, depending on what needs fixing. Simple problems like clogged filters or loose door seals are on the lower end, while pump replacements or control board issues cost more.
We give you an exact price before starting any work, so you’ll never get surprised by the bill. If the repair costs more than half what a new dishwasher would cost, we’ll tell you honestly—sometimes replacement makes more sense than repair.
Our diagnostic fee gets applied to the repair cost if you choose to proceed, so you’re only paying for the actual fix, not multiple charges.
Yes, we fix dishwasher leaks fast because water damage to your kitchen floor gets expensive quickly. Most leaks come from worn door seals, loose hose connections, or clogged drains that cause overflow.
We’ll locate the exact source of the leak, not just where you see water pooling. Sometimes a leak at the front of the dishwasher actually starts from a blocked drain in the back, so proper diagnosis is crucial.
Emergency leak repairs are available the same day because we know water doesn’t wait for convenient timing. We’ll stop the leak, assess any damage, and make sure your dishwasher is properly sealed before we leave.
Yes, we provide same-day dishwasher repair throughout Somerville when you call before 2 PM on weekdays. Emergency repairs for leaks or major malfunctions can often be handled within hours of your call.
Somerville’s compact size works in your favor—we can get anywhere in the city quickly, whether you’re near Tufts, in Union Square, or anywhere between. We keep our service trucks stocked with common dishwasher parts to avoid delays.
If same-day isn’t possible due to parts availability or scheduling, we’ll give you the earliest possible appointment and provide temporary solutions to minimize inconvenience until we can complete the repair.
We repair all major dishwasher brands including GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Bosch, Maytag, and Frigidaire. We also work on high-end brands like Sub-Zero and specialty models that other repair services might not touch.
Our technicians stay current with the latest models while maintaining expertise on older units commonly found in Somerville’s diverse housing stock. Whether you have a basic model or a smart dishwasher with WiFi connectivity, we have the training to fix it.
We carry manufacturer-approved parts and follow brand-specific repair procedures to maintain your warranty coverage. If we don’t have your exact part in stock, we can usually get it within 24 hours.
Poor cleaning usually comes from clogged spray arms, dirty filters, or worn wash pumps. Hard water buildup, which is common in some parts of Somerville, can block the small holes in spray arms and reduce water pressure.
We’ll check your dishwasher’s filter system first—most people don’t realize these need regular cleaning. Food particles and grease build up over time and restrict water flow, leaving dishes dirty even after a full cycle.
Sometimes the problem is loading technique or detergent choice, but often there’s a mechanical issue like a failing wash motor or blocked water inlet that needs professional repair. We’ll identify the real cause and fix it properly.
Most dishwasher repairs take 1-2 hours once our technician arrives and diagnoses the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a door seal or unclogging a drain can be done in under an hour.
More complex repairs like pump replacement or control board installation might take up to 3 hours, especially in Somerville’s older homes where access can be tight. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate after diagnosing the issue.
If we need to order a specific part, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment and can often provide temporary solutions to keep your dishwasher partially functional until the repair is complete.
