What does a washing machine repair cost in Nellore?

A washing machine repair in Nellore costs between ₹350 and ₹499 for the visit and labour on our rate card, plus whatever part is needed at its MRP. The labour figure depends on the fault, not the brand or the type of machine: drum noise is the dearest because it usually means opening the tub, and leaks, drains and dead machines are the cheapest because they are usually quick to find.

Here is the rate card, what each line actually covers, and what moves the final number.

The rate card

Fault	Visit and labour
Not spinning	₹399
Water leaking	₹350
Not draining	₹350
Drum making noise	₹499
Fully dead (no power, no lights)	₹350
Any other fault, all brands	₹399

Each figure includes the diagnosis, the technician's time and the standard labour to fix the fault once the part is in hand. Parts are charged at MRP and shown to you, with the price, before they are fitted. There is no advance payment; you pay when the job is done.

What each line usually involves

Not spinning, ₹399. The technician checks the drain first (a machine will not spin with water inside), then the door or lid switch, the belt or coupling, the motor brushes on a front loader, and the capacitor or clutch on a top loader or semi-automatic. Many of these are a small part and the labour figure covers fitting it.

Water leaking, ₹350. Hoses and washers, the door gasket, the pump filter cap, the detergent drawer and the pump housing. If the leak is from the tub seal or bearings, the technician will tell you so and quote that as a drum job instead, before doing anything.

Not draining, ₹350. Pump filter, drain hose, drain pump, and on a semi-automatic the drain valve and the lint in the drain path. Often fixed on the spot with no part at all.

Drum making noise, ₹499. Foreign objects between drum and tub, levelling and suspension, bearings, spider arm. This is the one where the part quote matters most: bearings on a serviceable tub are one thing, a sealed tub assembly is another. You decide after seeing the MRP.

Fully dead, ₹350. Socket and cord, the mains filter and fuse, the door lock, the main switch, then the board. A board is not replaced on a guess; it is tested.

What changes the bill

• The part. This is the whole story most of the time. Small parts (belts, capacitors, switches, hoses, pump filters) keep the job close to the labour figure. Pumps, inlet valves, door locks and brushes are moderate. Motors, boards, bearings and tub assemblies are where a repair can approach the value of an old machine, which is why the MRP is shown before you say yes.
• Two faults at once. A machine that has been run with worn bearings often has a leaking seal as well. You are told, and quoted, for both before work starts.
• Access. A machine wedged into a narrow bathroom or built into a cabinet takes longer to open, but that does not change the labour figure; it changes how long the technician is there.

How to avoid paying for the wrong job

Book the fault that matches the symptom. If water sits in the drum at the end, that is "not draining", not "not spinning", even though the spin is also missing. If the machine only fails during a power cut and comes back later, say so; that points to the board or the supply rather than the motor. A photo of any error code on the display helps the technician bring the right parts the first time.

Run the ten-minute checks before booking: tap open, MCB on, child lock off, door shut, pump filter clear, drain hose not kinked. They cost nothing and they are exactly where a technician starts.

What is included after the repair

The labour and the specific repair carry a 30-day written warranty. If the same fault comes back in that period, it is fixed again at no charge, parts included. A different fault on the same machine is a new job.

A note on "service" versus "repair"

If nothing is broken and you want the machine opened, cleaned, descaled and checked before the monsoon, book it under the general line at ₹399 and say it is a service. If something is actually wrong, book the fault, so the visit is planned around fixing it rather than inspecting it.
