Everything we fix, what it roughly costs, and how the process works. No mystery, no surprise fees.
Top-load, front-load, stacked towers and washer-dryer combos. The failures we see most in Guanacaste's heat, humidity, hard water and unstable power:
Standing water in the drum usually means a clogged pump filter or a failed drain pump. We clear or replace it on the spot in most cases.
Worn belts, failed motor couplings, faulty lid switches or door locks — we diagnose why the drum won't turn and fix the cause.
Cracked hoses, worn door boots, failed inlet valves. We stop the leak before it damages floors and cabinets.
Control board faults, blown thermal fuses, door lock errors. We read the code, test the components, and repair what actually failed.
A washer that shakes violently or walks across the floor usually has worn shock absorbers, suspension springs or drum bearings.
Heating elements, thermostats and thermal fuses fail often in Guanacaste's dusty conditions. We carry the common parts.
Dryers matter in the green season, when nothing line-dries for weeks. We repair electric and gas dryers: heating elements and burners, thermostats and thermal fuses, drive belts, drum rollers, blocked vents and lint systems (a fire risk worth taking seriously), and control boards. If your dryer runs but takes two or three cycles to dry a load, that's usually a vent or element problem — a quick, inexpensive fix that also cuts your electricity bill.
These are honest ranges, not quotes — the final price depends on your machine and the part needed. But most washer and dryer repairs in Guanacaste land between $60 and $150 all-in:
You always get a firm quote before we start work. If the machine isn't worth repairing, we'll say so.
Describe the problem — photos and videos help a lot. We'll tell you what it sounds like and schedule a visit, often same-day.
The technician tests the machine, identifies the fault, and gives you a firm price before any work starts. Diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair.
Most repairs finish in the same visit — we carry common parts. You pay by SINPE Móvil, card or cash, and get a written warranty.
Most washing machine repairs in Guanacaste land between $60 and $150 including parts and labor. A diagnostic visit runs $30–40 and is credited toward the repair. Bigger jobs like drum bearings or a control board can reach $110–200.
Yes. Heating elements, thermostats, thermal fuses, belts, drums and vents — both electric and gas dryers, including stacked washer-dryer towers and combo units.
In most areas of Guanacaste, yes — especially if you call in the morning. Tamarindo, Flamingo, Playa del Coco, Liberia and Santa Cruz are usually same-day; more remote areas like Nosara may be next-day.
Our rule of thumb: if the repair costs less than half the price of an equivalent new machine and yours is under 8 years old, repair it. A new washer in Costa Rica runs $400–900, so a $80–150 repair almost always makes sense. We'll tell you honestly when it doesn't.
Almost certainly. We work on Samsung, LG, Mabe, Whirlpool, Atlas, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Maytag, Haier, Bosch and most other brands sold in Costa Rica, plus US-market machines brought down by owners.
