What Washer and Dryer Repairs Cost

- Control board (part only): $90–$280 Source: Angi - How Much Does Dryer Repair Cost?

- Appliance technician diagnosis, washer (usually waived if hired for the repair): $50–$100 per visit Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a washing machine?
Replacement makes more sense once a dryer is about 10 years old or past half its expected lifespan. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?

Before the Visit
- The washer's brand and model number

- Whether it is a stacked pair or a laundry center
- Whether the dryer is gas or electric
- What happens when you press Start (no response, hum, runs with no heat, stops early)
Local Notes for Honolulu
Washer calls in Honolulu most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit. Source: Description of Contractor License Classifications (Hawaii DCCA Contractors License Board)
In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
Questions to Ask a Honolulu Technician
- Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
- Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
