We get it fixed fast. Most repairs happen the same day you call. No more hand-washing. No more disrupted routines. No more wondering if that puddle under your dishwasher is getting bigger.
You call, we come out, we fix it. Your kitchen gets back to normal, and you get back to your life.
Fast Action Appliance has been fixing dishwashers in Waltham for years. We know the common issues in older homes around Prospect Hill and the newer units in developments near Bentley University.
Our technicians carry the right parts and tools to handle most repairs on the spot. We’re not the guys who show up, look around, and tell you we need to order something.
We live here. We work here. When your dishwasher breaks at 8 PM on a Sunday, we understand that’s not convenient for anyone.
You call or text us with the problem. We ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening and give you a time window for our arrival.
Our technician shows up with a fully stocked truck. We diagnose the issue, explain what’s wrong in plain English, and give you an upfront price before starting any work.
Most dishwasher repairs take 30-60 minutes once we know what’s wrong. We test everything before we leave to make sure it’s working properly. You get a warranty on the work, so if something goes wrong, we come back at no charge.

We handle the full range of dishwasher problems that Waltham residents deal with. Leaking dishwashers that are damaging your kitchen floor. Units that won’t drain properly, leaving standing water and bad smells. Dishwashers that run but don’t actually clean your dishes.
Waltham’s mix of older homes and newer construction means we see everything from vintage units that just need the right part to newer models with electronic control issues. We work on all major brands and keep common parts in stock.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling. If your dishwasher is leaking and creating water damage, we’ll get there fast to stop the problem from getting worse.
Most dishwasher repairs in Waltham run between $150-$350, depending on what’s wrong and what parts are needed. We give you the exact price before starting any work, so there are no surprises.
Simple fixes like unclogging a drain hose or replacing a door seal are on the lower end. More complex repairs involving pumps, control boards, or motor issues cost more but are still usually much cheaper than buying a new dishwasher.
We charge a diagnostic fee that gets applied to the repair cost if you decide to move forward. No hidden fees, no markup on parts beyond what’s reasonable.
Most dishwasher repairs take 30-60 minutes once we’ve diagnosed the problem. Simple issues like clogs or door latch problems can be fixed in 15-20 minutes.
More involved repairs, like replacing a wash pump or control board, might take up to 90 minutes. We’ll let you know the timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
The diagnostic process usually takes 10-15 minutes. We test different cycles, check connections, and look for obvious issues before diving into more complex troubleshooting.
Yes, we work on all major dishwasher brands including Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Bosch, Samsung, LG, and Frigidaire. We also service less common brands and older models that other companies won’t touch.
Our truck carries parts for the most common repairs across all brands. For unusual or older models, we can usually get parts within 24-48 hours if we don’t have them on hand.
Some very old units (15+ years) might not be worth repairing if parts are expensive or hard to find. We’ll be honest about when replacement makes more sense than repair.
Turn off the water supply under your sink and call us immediately. Leaking dishwashers can cause serious water damage to your kitchen floor and cabinets if not addressed quickly.
Most leaks come from worn door seals, loose connections, or clogged drain hoses. These are usually straightforward fixes that don’t require major parts replacement.
We prioritize leak calls because we know water damage gets expensive fast. In most cases, we can stop the leak and get your dishwasher running properly the same day you call.
It depends on the age and what’s wrong. Dishwashers typically last 8-12 years with regular use. If your unit is under 8 years old, repair almost always makes financial sense.
For older units, we look at the cost of repair versus replacement. If the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new dishwasher, replacement might be the smarter choice.
We’ll give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a $200 repair on a 10-year-old dishwasher buys you another 3-4 years of reliable service. Other times, you’re better off upgrading.
Yes, we provide same-day service for dishwasher emergencies in Waltham, especially for leaks or complete breakdowns. We understand that dishwasher problems don’t happen at convenient times.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling. If you call before 2 PM, we can usually get to you the same day. Later calls might be scheduled for first thing the next morning.
We charge a small emergency fee for same-day service, but it’s worth it to get your kitchen back to normal quickly. No one wants to hand-wash dishes for days while waiting for a repair appointment.
