Common Washer Problems
When your washing machine won't spin, drain, or start, FixitBay LLC delivers fast, reliable repair service throughout the SF Bay Area - San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Marin County. Our licensed technicians diagnose and fix most washer issues on the same visit. We charge a $80 diagnostic fee that's fully applied to your repair cost-transparent pricing from start to finish.
Our washer repair process includes a thorough inspection of the motor, drum, drain pump, belts, hoses, door seal, control board, and water inlet valves. We test all cycles, check for leaks, and identify the root cause of issues like failure to spin, drain problems, excessive shaking, or error codes. Whether you have a front-load, top-load, or high-efficiency model, we have the expertise to restore it.
We service all major washer brands including Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Samsung, LG, Bosch, and more. Our technicians carry common replacement parts, allowing us to complete most repairs during the first visit. We back each repair with our 180-day warranty on parts and labor. From Bay Area apartments to Peninsula homes, we've got your laundry covered.

Washer Repair vs. Replacement - How to Decide
A broken washer is disruptive, but replacement isn’t always the answer. Here’s how to decide.
Modern washers are designed to last 10–14 years. A single repair on a younger unit almost always pays for itself.
If the fix is less than half the price of a comparable new machine, repairing is the smarter financial move.
We do not replace drum bearings. Reaching them means splitting the outer tub, and the labor costs more than an older washer is worth.
Hose replacements, pump swaps, and drain cleanouts are affordable fixes that restore full function quickly.
Our honest policy: If our diagnostic shows the repair isn't economically justified - we'll tell you before any work begins. No pressure, no hidden charges beyond the $80 diagnostic fee.
How We Diagnose and Fix Washers
We test every suspect part
We test the door latch, control board, motor, pump, inlet valves, and suspension components, then run leak detection and electrical checks until we find the root cause.
Written quote before any work
We put the estimate in writing before any work begins. We keep common parts (pumps, belts, door seals, inlet valves) in stock. Brand-specific parts for LG, Samsung, or Miele ship next business day.
Fix, verify, back it for 180 days
After the repair, we run a complete wash cycle and watch fill, agitation, drain, and spin. We check each connection point for leaks and back the work with our 180-day warranty.
