Frequently asked questions

Is it worth paying to fix a washing machine?

Absolutely. If the repair quote is less than half the cost of a new unit, fixing it is much smarter. We help you weigh the repair cost against the machine’s remaining life to ensure you save money. 

Usually, the main electronic control board or the motor are the costliest. However, many issues that look serious are actually simple fixes. We always provide an honest assessment before you commit to any major component replacements. 

If your machine has severe tub damage or multiple major electrical failures, replacement might be better. We pride ourselves on being honest neighbors; if it’s not worth fixing, we will tell you straight away.
