Some washers can be fixed the same day, while some could take a few days to repair, depending on what is wrong with it and the availability of the parts needed. For simple fixes like a clogged hose or a faulty lid switch, our service professionals at Mr. Appliance can likely have it spinning again in an hour.

If the machine still carries a warranty, it will be repaired at no extra cost. If it doesn't, you'll incur some out-of-pocket expenses. The downside of calling a repair service to fix a washing machine is that repairs often take too long. You're likely to be put on a waiting list that may stretch for months.

Plumbers are well acquainted with a washer's plumbing connections since they connect washing machines to their water supply lines regularly. For this reason, it isn't difficult to find a plumber who can fix washing machines as long as the issue is related to water and gas lines.

Sometimes, a washing machine just needs a bit of TLC. This may mean that a belt, water valve, pulley and seal can be easily and inexpensively replaced. On the other hand, a pump or motor replacement generally requires professional help.
