When a washer breaks, the first question is always the same: fix it or buy new? Here's the rule our techs actually use.
If your washer is under 8 years old, repair is almost always the smarter choice — most fixes cost a fraction of a new machine and a quality washer should last 10–14 years. Common, affordable repairs include drain pumps, door seals, lid switches, and drive belts.
Lean toward replacement only when the repair approaches half the price of a new unit, the machine is well past a decade old, or it's failed repeatedly. We'll always give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation before any work — and a flat quote up front.
