(204) 233-5232Washer Not Spinning? Dryer Taking All Day?
A washer that won't spin or a dryer that needs three cycles to finish a load — both are frustrating and both are usually fixable. Claude has been repairing washers and dryers in Winnipeg since 1983. Most problems he can diagnose over the phone or on a first visit.

Brands Claude Works On
Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Inglis, Speed Queen, and most other major brands. If you're not sure whether he can help with yours, call and ask — he'll tell you in under a minute.
Top-Load and Front-Load Washers
Claude repairs both. Front-load machines have a few unique failure points (door gaskets, bearing seals) but most issues are still repairable. He'll give you an honest assessment of whether the repair cost makes sense compared to replacement.
Electric Dryers
Claude repairs electric dryers. Heating elements, thermostats, thermal fuses, drum belts, idler pulleys — most problems are fixable and parts are available for most major brands.
Should You Repair or Replace?
That depends on the age of the machine, the cost of the repair, and what replacement would actually cost you. Claude will walk you through it. If the repair isn't worth it, he'll tell you — and if he has a reconditioned machine that fits your needs, he can show you that too.
