For a detailed breakdown, see our Appliance Repair Cost Guide. A typical repair costs between R650 for a minor fix and R3,500 for a major component replacement, and this is especially relevant for Cape Town residents.

If the repair cost is over 50% of the price of a new, comparable model, it’s often better to replace it. It depends. For affordable fixes on a well-maintained machine, a repair is still worthwhile.

However, it could also be an unbalanced load or a foreign object stuck in the drum. This often indicates worn drum bearings.

Most common repairs, like replacing a pump or heating element, can be completed in 1 to 2 hours in the Cape Town area.

Regularly check your hoses for cracks or loose connections and ensure the door seal is clean and intact. Avoid using too much detergent, which can cause suds to overflow. A qualified professional can provide specific guidance for your situation.
