STOP — don't replace your washer yet. The five most common failures I see in my shop every single week are usually $20–$100 fixes.

Way too many machines hit the curb over a problem that could've been fixed for less than the cost of a Saturday night dinner out. I break down the five most common washer failures I see — drain pump, lid lock, suspension rods, control board, gearcase — what each typically costs to fix, what's DIY-friendly, and the cases where replacing the whole machine actually makes more sense.
