Full breakdown by machine type: washing machine repair charges
How to Avoid Overpaying
Ask for the diagnosis and the quote before any work begins
Ask whether the part is original or compatible, and the price of each
Ask to see the old part
Check the warranty on labour and parts
Be wary of anyone who quotes a firm price over the phone without seeing the machine
When isn't repair worth it?
If the machine is over ten years old and needs a motor and board together, or the repair is more than half the price of a comparable new machine, replacement usually wins. Compare repair charges fairly
