How much does washer and dryer repair cost near me?

Washing machine repair costs $100 to $400 to replace most parts. Dryer repair costs $100 to $300 on average. Dryer vent cleaning costs $80 to $250 to clear out clogged air ducts that cause dryer damages and fire hazards.

How long does a washing machine or dryer last?

A washing machine or dryer typically lasts 8 to 13 years. High-quality brands that receive ongoing maintenance will last the longest.

  • Failure to turn on or spin while running
  • Water leaks from the washer
  • Smells of smoke from the dryer or mildew from the washer
  • Washer drum not filling with water or not draining after the cycle
  • Excessive vibration or shaking of the machines
  • Circuit breaker tripping when you switch on either laundry machine
  • Error codes on the control panel

Is it worth repairing a washer or dryer?

Repairing a washer or dryer is worth it if they are less than 4 to 7 years old and the damage is minor. Fixing these machines is also cost-effective if repair fees are less than half the price of a replacement, or if the warranty is still valid.

Should I repair or replace my washer and dryer?

You should repair your washer or dryer if the work costs $100 to $400. Consider replacing laundry machines if repairs cost more than $500 per unit. New washer and dryer prices are $1,000 to $2,300 per set on average.

Who repairs washers and dryers?

Contractors who repair washers and dryers include:

  • Appliance-repair technicians
  • A plumber to fix piping leaks from connections to the washer
  • An electrician if the wiring is faulty

Before hiring a repair technician, remember to verify that they have a license, surety bonds, NASTeC certification, and insurance. Their reviews on Google and HomeGuide will show you their reputation. When comparing quotes, beware of the lowest prices that typically signal low-quality work.

When the technician arrives, get a signed copy of the contract before work starts. Don't give the full payment until the job is complete.
