How fast can a tech get to Howard County?

Most areas of Howard County book within a day or two. Your technician calls or texts with an arrival time before heading over, so you're not stuck waiting on an all-day window.

Do you charge for service calls to Howard County?

Yes — the visit carries a service charge set by brand that pays for the trip and a full diagnosis. Whatever the repair costs is quoted on its own, and nothing starts until you approve it.

Should I repair my washing machine or replace it?

A newer washer — under about 8 years — with a single failed part is usually worth fixing, while one past 10 with multiple issues, or a repair approaching half the cost of a new unit, is better replaced. We'll give you an honest estimate first, and credit the service charge toward a new washer if you replace.

What's the average lifespan of a washing machine?

Most washing machines last about 10 to 14 years. Front-loaders and high-use households tend toward the lower end, while a well-maintained top-loader often reaches the higher end.

What guarantee comes with a washer repair?

Every washer repair carries a 90-day guarantee. If the same problem arises within 90 days, a Howard County tech repairs it for free.

Do you service washers you didn't sell?

Yes — we repair washing machines from 50+ brands no matter where you bought them. The one exception is warranty work, which we only do on appliances we sold so we don't risk voiding your manufacturer warranty.

Which washing machine brands can you repair?

We repair Speed Queen, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, GE, Bosch, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Amana, Kenmore, Miele, and more — over 50 brands in all, using factory-authorized parts.

Do you repair all washer types?

Absolutely. We handle top loaders, front loaders, stackables, and compact units for Howard County homes, from over 50 brands.

I'm a landlord — how do you schedule a rental repair?

For Howard County rentals, we coordinate with the landlord or property manager first, keep a card on file, and pre-charge the service charge with a $350 pre-authorization that lets us approve repairs under $350 during the visit if we can't reach you. Should the tenant not grant access at the scheduled time, a second service charge covers the return trip.

Washing Machine Repair Problems

The Washing Machine Problems Columbia Calls Us For

Shakes, walks, or gets loud

A washer that bangs or wanders usually has worn suspension, bad shock absorbers, or an off-balance drum.

Won't spin or agitate

A worn belt, a failed lid switch, or a bad motor coupling can result in a drum that won't spin and soaking wet clothes.

Won't drain

A tub that won't empty usually points to a clogged pump, a kinked drain hose, or a failed pump motor.

Leaks water

Most washer leaks come down to a cracked hose, a worn door boot, or a loose fitting. Caught early, they're cheap to fix.

Won't turn on

A washer that won't turn on usually has a bad outlet, a failed lid switch, or a faulty control board.

Won't fill or heat water

When the tub won't fill or the water stays cold, it's usually a bad inlet valve, a clogged screen, or a failing heating element.

The service tech CJ was very professional, polite and knowledgeable about his work. He explained to me everything in detail that needed to be done with my washing machine and ensured I knew my options before I proceeded any further.

We have always had good experiences with Landers. Chris recently repaired our washer. He was affable, knowledgable, and generally very helpful, not just in explaining the repair, but in suggesting ways we can keep the washer working at its most reliable. Like Dino, the now retired repairman he replaced, Chris is an excellent representative of a very good company.

Deborah S.

Great job. Very dependable and trustworthy. Came out on Tuesday and found that the motor on my washer was the problem. They were back the next day with a new washer.

Faith P.

Joseph was very knowledgeable and friendly. It would have been very expensive and taken a long time to have our washer fixed. He took the time to talk to us about what washer we should get and why. I will definitely use them again.
