The rest of the lineup.
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in North Charleston.
North Charleston does more laundry per square mile than anywhere else in the metro: shift uniforms from Boeing and the airport, scrubs, kids’ practice gear, a tenant’s week in one Saturday load. When the washer stops with water in the tub, the technician comes from W Montague Ave, meters the failed part, writes one price, and fixes it from the van, usually before the next load is due.

Around half the households in North Charleston rent, and that shapes washer repair here. The apartment belts along Ashley Phosphate Rd and Rivers Ave run stacked pairs and closet top-loaders that see a family’s worth of laundry with nobody cleaning the pump filter. Duplexes in Liberty Hill and Union Heights carry landlord-supplied Whirlpool and Roper top-loaders that have outlived three leases. Park Circle bungalows have washers in back porches and converted mudrooms with old drain standpipes. The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions in Wescott and Coosaw Creek, off Dorchester Rd, run Samsung and LG front-loaders that came with the house and are now hitting the age where door boots tear and drain pumps fail.
Charleston Water System keeps the city on moderately soft water, so scale is not what kills a North Charleston washer. Wear is. A common weekday call comes from a property manager on Rivers Ave: tenant reports the washer stopped mid-cycle, door locked, water inside, and she leaves for a night shift at six. The technician drains the tub, reads the code, meters the drain pump and finds it open. The quote goes to the owner by text, the approval comes back in ten minutes, the pump goes in from the van, and a full cycle runs before the tenant leaves for work. The invoice and written warranty land in the owner’s inbox that afternoon.
The drain pump has quit or swallowed something: a sock from a stacked unit on Ashley Phosphate, a hair tie, a screw. We drain the tub, open the pump housing, clear it and meter the motor. If the windings are open the pump is replaced from the van; if not, the hose and standpipe get checked.
On top-loaders in the older duplexes this is a stretched belt, a worn clutch or a lid switch that no longer closes the circuit. On the Wescott front-loaders it is more often a shock absorber, a motor control board or a door lock that reports open. Each is metered before anyone names a part.
Front-loaders leak from a torn boot or a detergent drawer packed with gel; top-loaders from a tub seal, a cracked outer tub or a split fill hose. In Park Circle houses an old standpipe that backs up looks like a washer leak and is not. We run a fill and drain with the cabinet open and watch the water.
The lock holds until the control believes the tub is empty and still. A failed pressure sensor, a stuck lock or a pump that never emptied the tub keeps it shut. We release the door by hand, empty the tub, then meter the lock and sensor so it does not repeat next week.
Shot suspension rods or shocks let the tub hit the cabinet; a machine on a soft laundry-room floor in a 2000s subdivision walks even when it is fine. Bearings on some front-loaders are a big job, and you get that in writing before we start. Leveling is part of the visit, not an extra.
Summer storms along the Ashley take out control boards and line filters, and a dead panel after an outage is common from June to November. We check the outlet and the filter first, then the board. A washer that stops mid-cycle with a code is more often a sensor, pump or lock than a board.
The technician starts with what the machine says and then checks whether it is telling the truth. Codes get read and matched to the brand’s table. The pump is metered for resistance, the lock for continuity, the pressure switch by blowing through its tube, the motor windings against spec. A fill, drain and spin are run with the panel open where the design allows. Fifteen minutes in, the failed part has a name in plain words and a reason, and you have one written price with the $99 diagnostic already inside it. If you decide the machine is not worth it, the $99 is the entire bill and the technician tells you what to look for in a replacement.
We carry pumps, locks, boots, belts, shocks, valves, clutches and common boards for the brands North Charleston actually owns: Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Kenmore, Amana, GE, Samsung, LG and Frigidaire, plus Bosch and Electrolux compacts for the newer townhomes at Oak Terrace Preserve and near the Navy Yard. Landlords and property managers get one text with the quote and approve from wherever they are; the tenant never has to relay a number. Military families at Joint Base Charleston get visits scheduled around shifts and PCS move-out dates. Hours are Monday to Saturday, six days a week. Approve the quote and the $99 is inside it; decline and $99 is the whole bill. Book online and up to $20 comes off the repair.
No. The shop is on W Montague Ave, so North Charleston is home base, and the $99 diagnostic is the only charge for the visit itself. If you approve the repair, that $99 is inside the written total rather than added to it. Park Circle, Wescott, Liberty Hill and the Ashley Phosphate corridor are all the same price.
Yes. The tenant books by phone or online and lists you as the owner. The technician does the diagnosis with the tenant present, texts you the written quote, and waits for your yes. The invoice and written warranty go to your email. If you want a standing arrangement across several units, tell us once and it applies to all of them.
Usually next business day and always the same week, Monday to Saturday. If the tub is full, say so when you book; the technician brings a pump to empty it so you are not scooping. Early windows go first, so booking online the night before gives you the widest choice of times.
Sometimes. A door boot that holds water in its fold, a drain pump that leaves a puddle in the sump, or a detergent drawer growing film will all smell, and the boot and pump are real repairs. Habits matter too: leave the door open between loads and use less detergent. We tell you which it is before quoting.
It comes off the repair. Book through the website and up to $20 is taken off the repair price you approve. The diagnostic stays $99 and it is already part of that repair price, so the discount lowers the total you actually pay. If you decline the repair, the $99 is the whole bill and no discount applies.
Call (843) 969-4423 or send the form. Most requests get a callback within the hour in business time, with a real arrival window.
The technician tests the machine with a meter, names the failed part in plain words, and writes one flat price. The $99 is already inside it.
We stock the high-failure parts for the brands Lowcountry homes actually own, so most jobs close on the spot; ordered parts return with no second trip fee.
Full test cycle before we pack up, a tidy work area after, and a written warranty in your hand.
One call starts it: $99 diagnostic, written quote, repair from the van. Book online and up to $20 comes off the repair.
