A broken washing machine is one of those problems that can't wait laundry piles up fast. But before you book a repair, it helps to know exactly what you'll pay and whether fixing the machine is even worth it. Here's a straightforward guide to washer repair costs in Hamilton, how our pricing works, and how to make the smart call.

What does washer repair cost?

At NRPS Appliance Service, we use simple, flat-rate pricing so you know the number before we start:

• A $120 service call covers the visit and a full diagnosis, paid upfront.
• If you go ahead with the repair, that $120 is applied to the total a flat $220 for washer repair in Hamilton.
• If you decide not to proceed after the diagnosis, you pay only the $120 service call.

No hourly surprises, no vague "we'll see when we get there." The price is the same whether you're in Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville or anywhere in our service area.

Repair or replace? For a washer, repair usually wins

A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new machine, and your washer is under about 8 years old, repair is the smarter choice.

With our washer repair at a flat $220, and a decent new washing machine typically costing $700 or more, repair is almost always the more economical option for a machine that isn't near the end of its life. It's usually only worth replacing when the machine is old and facing a major failure. Either way, after the diagnosis we'll give you an honest recommendation — not a push toward a repair that doesn't make sense.

Common washer problems we fix

• Won't drain or spin — usually a pump, belt, or drainage issue. Very commonly worth repairing.
• Leaking water — often a hose, seal, or pump connection.
• Loud banging or grinding on spin — can be a worn bearing; worth diagnosing early before it damages more parts.
• Won't start or stops mid-cycle — could be a door latch, control board, or sensor.

Catching these early keeps things simple a small leak ignored can turn into water damage and a much bigger headache.

How to keep repair costs down

The best way to avoid repair bills is basic maintenance: don't overload the machine, clean the filter and door gasket regularly, and use the right amount of detergent.
