A broken washer is disruptive, but replacement isn’t always the answer. Here’s how to decide.
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.
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.
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.
Diagnostic $80, applied to the repair. Repairs from $250.
When a front-load, top-load or high-efficiency washer quits mid-cycle, FixitBay LLC covers it across San Francisco, the Peninsula and Marin. We are a licensed California appliance technician, BHGS #51001. The visit is an $80 diagnostic credited toward the repair, and you get a written estimate before we order a part. Most washers are back in action after the first trip; a model-specific part arrives in a few business days, quoted before you sign off. Everything comes with a 180-day warranty on parts and labor. Book same-day or next-day from the calendar's earliest open window.
Most washer repairs cost from $250 after the $80 diagnostic. The $80 is fully applied to your repair. Drain pumps and door seals on the lower end; control boards and motors on the higher end. Premium brands (Miele, Bosch, Speed Queen) can run higher due to OEM parts.
Yes - all major washer brands. LG and Samsung front-load and top-load, Whirlpool and Maytag traditional, Miele and Bosch European compact, Speed Queen commercial-grade. We carry common parts for first-visit repairs.
Not draining, won't spin, leaking from door or under the unit, loud noise during spin, won't fill or won't start, excessive vibration, and error codes (LE, UE, F-codes). Most issues we diagnose in 15-30 minutes.
Yes - both. Front-load specific (door gaskets, door locks, suspension rods, drum spider) and top-load specific (agitator, drive transmission, lid switch, clutch assembly).
Yes. Drain pumps and door seals are usually completed the same visit when the part is in stock. If a part needs to be ordered, delivery typically takes 1-4 business days for OEM components - after which we return to complete the repair at no extra travel charge.
Yes - front-load, top-load, stackable, and compact 24-inch washers are everyday work, including pedestal-mounted units and tight closet installations. In condos and apartments we can coordinate the building water shutoff when needed.
Same-day when the schedule allows, next-day otherwise - the booking calendar shows the earliest window. 7 days a week across San Francisco and 21 other Bay Area cities.
For washers under 10 years old, repair almost always beats replacement. New mid-range washers in the Bay Area start from $700, premium from $1,500. A from $250 repair pays for itself in a year.
Common causes: clogged drain pump (coin, sock, hair tie), broken drive belt, faulty lid switch (top-load), failed door interlock (front-load), or worn motor coupler. We diagnose all of these on the first visit.
Yes - every washer repair comes with a 180-day warranty on parts and labor. If the same issue returns within 180 days, we come back at no extra charge.
It depends on the part and the failure. For electronic control boards and drive components, we use OEM - the tolerances matter for reliability and longevity. For wear parts where aftermarket equivalents perform identically - drain pumps, drive belts, gaskets, hoses - we offer both at the diagnostic stage. You choose based on budget, warranty preference, and how long you plan to keep the appliance.
Our diagnostic includes a full inspection of your washer's motor, drum, pump, belts, hoses, door seal, control board, and water inlet valves. We identify the root cause and provide a detailed estimate. This $80 fee is credited toward your repair when you proceed.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, online payment via secure invoice link, personal checks, and cash. Payment is collected after the repair is complete and you've approved the work. We don't require a deposit beyond the $80 diagnostic visit fee, which is fully credited toward your repair if you proceed. No processing fees, no hidden charges - the price you approve is the price you pay.
