Repair or replace your washing machine?

A simple rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is near the end of its life, replacement may make more sense.

A washing machine typically lasts – and costs $1,100–$1,900 to replace — so most faults under about $450 are worth fixing. We'll always tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth your money.

Keep your washing machine running

Simple habits that prevent the most common the GTA repairs.

  • Leave the door and detergent drawer open between washes and wipe the door gasket dry — the top prevention for front-load odour and mould.
  • Clean the drain pump filter (front-loaders, behind the small bottom-front panel) every few months to prevent drain and spin faults.
  • Use the correct amount of HE detergent — over-dosing causes excess suds that clog the pump and leave residue.
  • Keep the machine level on all four feet and balance loads so the tub doesn't bang and wear the shocks/suspension on spin.
  • Inspect the fill hoses for bulges or cracks and replace rubber hoses about every 5 years (braided-steel hoses last longer).
  • Run a hot tub-clean cycle monthly to clear detergent residue and biofilm before it smells.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my washer not draining?
The cycle finishes (or stalls) with the drum full of water; clothes sit soaking, and the spin won't start because the machine can't pump out. Most common cause: Clogged drain pump filter or pump impeller jammed by a coin, sock, or lint. A typical repair is $190–$360, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my washer spin?
The wash runs but clothes come out sopping wet because the machine never reaches full spin (or won't spin at all). Most common cause: Water not draining first, so the machine refuses to spin (see "not draining"). A typical repair is $230–$420, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my washer leaking water?
Water appears on the floor under or in front of the machine during fill, wash, or spin. Most common cause: Loose, cracked, or worn hose — fill hoses, internal hoses, or the drain hose connection. A typical repair is $200–$460, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my washer start or fill with water?
The machine is unresponsive, or it powers on and the cycle starts but no water enters the drum. Most common cause: No-fill: water taps off, kinked fill hose, or clogged inlet-valve screens. A typical repair is $200–$480, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my washer loud or banging during the spin cycle?
A loud rumble, grind, or banging that builds during high-speed spin; the machine may shake hard or "walk" across the floor. Most common cause: Unbalanced load or the machine not level (shipping bolts left in on a new front-loader). A typical repair is $240–$560, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my top-load washer agitate?
A top-loader fills with water but the agitator (or wash plate) doesn't move clothes through the cycle. Most common cause: Worn motor coupler (direct-drive Whirlpool/Maytag/Kenmore) — the classic top-load agitation failure. A typical repair is $220–$460, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why won't my washer door lock or open?
The cycle won't start because the door/lid won't lock, or the machine finished but the door stays locked and won't release. Most common cause: Failed door lock / lid lock assembly (the interlock won't confirm "locked"). A typical repair is $190–$380, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why does my front-load washer smell musty or mouldy?
A musty/mildew smell from the drum, with black or grey gunk in the folds of the rubber door gasket and around the detergent drawer. Most common cause: Mould/biofilm growing in the door-gasket folds and dispenser from a door kept shut after washing. A typical repair is $190–$340, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Do you charge for the diagnostic?
The diagnostic is a flat $149.95, and it is credited 100% toward your repair — so if you go ahead with the fix, it isn't an extra charge.
How soon can you come out?
Same-day & next-day appointments available across the GTA. Call (647) 490-7878 and we'll give you the next available slot.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Repairs are performed by Anthony, who is Red Seal Certified, 313A Licensed, TSSA Certified, ODP Certified, and the work is backed by $2,000,000+ general liability insurance and a 90-day warranty.
Do you use genuine parts?
Yes — we fit OEM parts and stock the common ones on the van, so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
