Washer & Dryer Repair Sudbury
Washer leaking? Dryer not heating? Same-day fix.
Need washer & dryer repair in Sudbury?
Washer and dryer issues stop your household cold. We service all configurations: top-load, front-load, stackable, electric and gas dryers. Common Sudbury complaints we see weekly: dryers that run but do not heat, washers that will not drain or spin, and stacked units making grinding noises. Most repairs are under $400 and same-day.
A few patterns are unique to Sudbury. Hard water from the municipal supply scales up washer inlet valves and water-temperature mixing valves faster than the provincial average. Dryers running through long winters with sealed-up homes tend to clog the lint trap and the duct run faster than in summer months, which is the most common cause of the 'runs but no heat' symptom on every brand we service. And the older mining-era homes around West End, Donovan, and Flour Mill often run on 60A panels where a washer and dryer on a shared circuit will trip the breaker when both start simultaneously, which is a wiring symptom that looks like an appliance failure but is not.

Sudbury factors that affect this repair
- Hard water across Greater Sudbury wears out washer water inlet valves and temperature-mixing valves faster than the national average. If your washer suddenly fills only with cold (or only with hot), the mixing valve is the likely cause, not the controls.
- Long winters with sealed-up homes mean dryer vent ducts clog faster between October and April. The 'runs but no heat' symptom is the lint trap or the duct 9 times out of 10, and a quick vent clean often restores the dryer without any part replacement.
- Older mining-era homes around West End, Donovan, and Flour Mill often run on 60A panels where a washer and dryer on a shared circuit trip the breaker when both start at once. That looks like an appliance failure but the fix is electrical, not appliance.
- Well-water homes in Whitefish, Skead, and the unserviced edges of Walden carry mineral content that scales up washer fill lines and dryer steam ports fast. If your front-load washer started smelling musty in the last 12 months, the issue is usually well-water residue in the gasket fold, not the appliance itself.
- Outer-community calls in Capreol, Hanmer, Val Caron, and Azilda are standard service area with a $20 to $60 distance surcharge on top of the diagnostic, not the full callout fee.

Questions Sudbury homeowners ask us
How much does washer repair in Sudbury cost?
Diagnostic is $120 and applies to the repair if you go ahead. Most washer repairs in Sudbury land between $200 and $500 all in. The big swing is on transmission and bearing work (top-load washers more often) and on front-load drum bearings, which can run $400 to $700. Drain pumps, lid switches, door latches, and inlet valves all sit at the lower end.
How much does dryer repair in Sudbury cost?
Same $120 diagnostic. Dryer repairs cluster around $200 to $350 because the most common failures (heating element, thermal fuse, thermostat, igniter on gas dryers, drive belt) are inexpensive parts. Drum bearing or drum roller work is the upper end at $300 to $500. A dryer that 'runs but doesn't heat' is usually a $40 thermal fuse and 20 minutes of labour, which is why we don't recommend replacing a dryer for that symptom alone.
Should I repair an older washer or dryer?
Rule we use in the shop: under 8 years almost always repair, 8 to 12 years it depends on the failure, 12 years and older the answer leans toward replacement unless the failure is cheap. Front-load drum bearings on older units (8+ years) are usually replacement territory because the part cost plus labour approaches a new entry-level unit. Dryer heating elements at any age are usually worth replacing.
Do you service stacked washer and dryer units?
Yes, every common stacked configuration including Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, GE, Frigidaire, and the older Kenmore stacks. We do not unstack the units unless absolutely necessary for the repair (most repairs are accessible from the back or front without unstacking). If unstacking is needed, that adds about 30 minutes to the visit and we'll quote it before we start.
Do you service gas dryers in Sudbury?
Yes. We handle most gas dryer repairs including igniter replacement, gas valve replacement, flame sensor replacement, and the standard heating-element and thermostat work. If a repair requires modification to the gas line itself (re-routing, new shutoff valve, leak repair on the line), we refer that portion to a licensed gas fitter while we handle the appliance side.
