Estimate only — the final price is confirmed after inspection. Main board and motor repairs are estimated separately.

About 75-80% of jobs are fixed the same day. If a part like a control board or motor has to be ordered, it usually takes 1-3 business days to arrive. On older models a part can occasionally need a special order from the manufacturer, which is very rare.

Before You Call

Open the coin trap, bottom front corner behind the small access door. Put a towel and a shallow pan down first, because there's more water in there than you expect.

What It Usually Is

Clogged coin trap, kinked drain hose, blocked pump impeller, or a failed drain pump.

What We Carry

Drain pumps for the Whirlpool, LG, and Samsung platforms, including the Duet pump (WPW10241025).

Worth Knowing

Whirlpool Duet and Kenmore HE throw F21 for a long drain. Most of them are a coin trap full of lint, hairpins, and change, not a dead pump. We clear it and run a full cycle before we sell you a pump.

Repair or Replace

Repair. A pump is one of the cheapest parts in the machine.

These are estimated prices, not a quote. The final price is confirmed after the technician inspects the machine.

The range covers the common repair on a freestanding unit. Control boards and drive motors are quoted separately, and board and motor parts vary by model. Stacked and closet-installed sets are quoted after inspection — pulling and restacking adds time to the job.

Under 10 years old, a machine is almost always worth repairing. Past that, we'll tell you straight whether the repair or a new machine is the better use of your money.
