When your dishwasher breaks down, everything in your kitchen grinds to a halt. You’re stuck scrubbing plates by hand while dirty dishes pile up in the sink. Your whole routine gets thrown off track.
We fix that problem today. Your dishwasher will clean properly again, drain completely, and run quietly. No more standing water at the bottom. No more dishes coming out still dirty. No more strange grinding noises keeping you up at night.
You’ll get back to loading it up after dinner and forgetting about it until morning. That’s exactly how appliances should work.
Fast Action Appliance has been fixing dishwashers for South Sherborn families who need their kitchens working properly. We’re not some big chain that sends different technicians every time or charges extra for “emergency” service calls.
Our team knows this area. We understand the local housing stock and have seen every dishwasher problem that can happen in South Sherborn homes. From older units in historic properties to newer installations in recent developments, we’ve got the experience to diagnose and fix your specific situation.
We show up when we say we will, explain what’s wrong in plain English, and fix it right the first time.
First, we listen to what’s going wrong with your dishwasher. Not working properly? Making weird noises? Leaving dishes dirty or not draining? We’ve heard it all before and know what to look for.
Next, our technician comes out and diagnoses the actual problem. We check the pump assembly, inspect the spray arms, test the drainage system, and examine all the components that commonly fail. Most of the time, we can tell you exactly what’s wrong and how much it’ll cost to fix within the first few minutes.
Then we fix it. Our vans carry the parts for most common repairs, so we can usually complete the job the same day. No waiting around for parts to be ordered or scheduling a second visit. You’ll have a working dishwasher by the time we leave.

Whether your dishwasher isn’t filling with water, won’t drain properly, or is leaving your dishes still dirty, we’ve seen it before. We repair float switches, pump assemblies, clogged spray arms, faulty solenoids, and broken door seals. If it’s making strange noises, leaking onto your kitchen floor, or just not cleaning like it used to, we can fix it.
South Sherborn homes often have unique plumbing configurations and water pressure issues that can affect dishwasher performance. We understand how these local factors impact your appliance and adjust our repairs accordingly. Many dishwasher problems that seem complicated are actually straightforward fixes when you know what to look for.
We work on all major brands including Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Samsung, and LG. If it’s supposed to clean your dishes, we can repair it.
Most dishwasher repairs in South Sherborn cost between $150 and $400, depending on what’s actually broken. Simple fixes like unclogging a drain or replacing a door seal are on the lower end. More complex problems like pump assembly replacement or control board issues cost more.
You’ll get an upfront price before we start any work. No surprises, no “diagnostic fees” that disappear into the final bill, no charges for parts we didn’t actually install. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why.
The general rule is if the repair costs more than half of what a new dishwasher would cost, replacement makes more sense. We’ll be honest about that calculation and help you make the right decision for your situation.
Yes, most of the time. We stock our service vans with the parts needed for about 90% of common dishwasher repairs, so we can usually complete the job during our first visit to your South Sherborn home.
The repairs that take longer typically involve special-order parts for older units or luxury brands with unique components. Even then, we can often find a temporary solution to get your dishwasher working while we wait for the exact part.
A broken dishwasher disrupts your whole routine. That’s why we prioritize same-day service and try to schedule appointments within a few hours of your call, not days later.
Usually it’s one of three things: clogged spray arms, a failing pump assembly, or problems with the detergent dispenser. Over time, food particles and soap buildup block the holes in the spray arms, so water can’t reach all your dishes effectively.
The pump assembly circulates water through the system. When it starts failing, you get weak water pressure and poor cleaning performance. The detergent dispenser might not be opening at the right time in the cycle, leaving your dishes without proper soap.
We can diagnose which of these is causing your problem and fix it properly. Sometimes it’s a combination of issues, especially in older dishwashers that haven’t been maintained regularly. A thorough cleaning and repair usually gets everything working like new again.
Turn it off immediately and don’t run another cycle until we can look at it. Water leaking from your dishwasher can damage your kitchen floor, cabinets, and potentially cause mold problems if it’s not addressed quickly.
Most leaks come from worn door seals, loose hose connections, or problems with the pump assembly. These are all fixable, but continuing to use a leaking dishwasher usually makes the problem worse and more expensive to repair.
Check around the base of the unit and note where the water is coming from if you can see it. That information helps us diagnose the problem faster when we arrive. Don’t try to fix it yourself – dishwashers involve both water and electricity, which is not a safe combination for DIY repairs.
When we repair your dishwasher properly with quality parts, the fix should last for years. Most of the components we replace have expected lifespans of 5-10 years under normal use.
The key is using the right parts and installing them correctly. We use manufacturer-approved replacement parts, not cheap aftermarket alternatives that fail quickly. Our technicians are trained on proper installation procedures to ensure everything works as intended.
We back our work with a warranty because we’re confident in the quality of our repairs. If something goes wrong with a part we installed or work we performed, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional cost.
If your dishwasher is less than 8-10 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. Newer dishwashers are more efficient, but a well-maintained older unit can still provide years of reliable service.
You’ll get an honest assessment of your dishwasher’s condition and expected remaining lifespan. Sometimes a $200 repair on a 7-year-old dishwasher is smart. Sometimes a $400 repair on a 12-year-old unit with multiple failing components is throwing good money after bad.
We’re not trying to sell you a new dishwasher, so you can get unbiased advice about whether repair makes financial sense. Our goal is helping you make the right decision for your situation, not maximizing our revenue.
