What's included
What our top load washer repair includes
Every top load washer repair we perform includes a full diagnostic, the repair itself, and a test cycle to confirm everything works. Here's what's covered in a standard service call.
Parts and labor
The quoted price covers both the replacement part and the labor to install it. We use OEM or equivalent-quality parts and carry the most common ones on the truck, so most repairs finish in a single visit.
Test cycle and verification
After the repair, we run a full wash and spin cycle to confirm the fix. We check for leaks, unusual noises, and proper drainage before we call the job done. You see it working before we leave.
Drain hose and leveling check
We inspect the drain hose for cracks or clogs and make sure the machine is level. An unlevel washer can cause excessive vibration and premature wear on bearings and suspension components.
Cleanup and warranty paperwork
We wipe down the machine, clean the work area, and put the washer back in place. You get a written invoice listing the parts used and a 1-year warranty on labor. If the same issue returns, we come back at no charge.
How it works
How our top load washer repair process works
You call, we ask a few quick questions about the symptoms, the brand, and the age of the machine. Most of the time we can narrow down the likely cause before we even roll a truck. We'll give you a service window and a text when the tech is on the way.
The technician arrives with a hand truck and appliance dolly, pulls the washer out, and runs a diagnostic cycle. Using a multimeter and clamp meter, they test the lid switch, timer, motor, capacitor, and water inlet valve to isolate the fault. This takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Before any repair starts, you get a clear price for parts and labor. No pressure, no upsell. If the cost of the repair is more than half the price of a new machine, we'll say so and let you decide. The diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you proceed.
Once you approve, we make the repair on the spot. Most jobs take 45 to 90 minutes. We replace the failed part, reassemble the cabinet, and run a full wash and spin cycle to confirm the fix. We also check the drain hose and leveling feet while we're in there.
