How We Repair Your Lavatec Tunnel Washer
Washing machines fill, agitate or tumble, drain and spin using valves, a pump, a drive motor and suspension, all managed by a control board.
We service current and older Lavatec Tunnel Washer models. Bring the model number to the phone call if you can: it helps us check part availability before we arrive.

Do you work on all Lavatec models?

Should I repair or replace my tunnel washer?
A tunnel washer typically lasts about 10 to 14 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
