Washing Machine Repair Near You
Get connected with an independent company that repairs top-load, front-load, high-efficiency and stackable washers from every major brand.
The most common washer failures — will not drain, will not spin, will not fill, leaking or loud on the spin cycle — come down to a drain pump, lid switch or door lock, water inlet valve, drive belt or bearings. Most are repaired in one visit for $150–$400. Failed tub bearings on a front-loader are the main expensive job. Call with the brand and the symptom and the company confirms the visit fee and time.

How washer repair works when you call
Brand, type of washer, and the symptom — takes about two minutes.
We connect you with an independent repair company that covers your ZIP code and can take the job.
The company confirms its visit fee, diagnoses the washer, quotes the repair and — if you approve — usually completes it the same visit when the part is on the truck.
What to have ready before you call
- The brand and model number (usually on a sticker inside the door or on the back)
- The symptom in plain words — what it does, what it does not do, any error code on the display
- Roughly how old the washer is (helps the company advise repair vs. replace honestly)
- Whether it is still under manufacturer warranty — if so, contact the manufacturer first
Brands the companies commonly repair
Independent repair for Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Maytag, GE, Kenmore, Bosch, Electrolux, Speed Queen and Frigidaire — and most other household brands. Brand names are used for identification only; the companies are independent and not affiliated with the manufacturers. Premium and built-in models are often handled by specialists, so name the brand when you call.
Repair or replace your washer?
Washers last about 10–14 years. Tub-bearing or drum replacement on a front-loader over 8 years old often exceeds half the cost of a new machine; pumps, valves, belts and switches are almost always worth fixing. The common rule: repair if the quote is under half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is not near the end of its typical lifespan. Use the repair-or-replace calculator for a quick answer on your specific case.
Common questions
Can I book same-day washer repair?
Often yes — laundry problems are among the most common calls. Availability for your ZIP code is checked when you call.
Front-load washer smells and leaks at the door — what is it?
Usually the rubber door boot has mold build-up or a tear. A boot replacement is a routine repair; cleaning and leaving the door ajar between loads prevents the smell coming back.
Why will my washer not drain?
Nine times out of ten it is a blocked pump filter (coins, hair ties, socks) or a failed drain pump. On some models a failed lid switch stops the drain and spin cycle from starting.
Do they repair stackable and apartment-size washers?
Yes. Mention it is a stacked or compact unit so the company sends someone equipped to work on it.
Still under warranty?
Warranty repairs go through the manufacturer. We connect you with independent companies for out-of-warranty work.
