Washing machine and washer mean the same appliance — here we focus on the internal mechanics: transmission, drum, motor and pump.

Yes — they're the same appliance. This page focuses on internal mechanics (transmission, coupling, bearing, pump); our washer repair page covers the service broadly. Either way, the same technicians handle your repair.
On older direct-drive top-loaders this is a classic failed motor coupling — an inexpensive part ($15–$25) but labor-intensive to access, totaling $140–$260. It's a well-understood, worthwhile fix at almost any age.
Often not. A transmission job runs $280–$580; on a 10+ year-old standard machine that approaches replacement cost. We give you the honest comparison rather than just quoting the repair.
Usually a failing main drum bearing. Caught early it's a $300–$500 repair; left until the drum is damaged it can double. On older machines this often tips toward replacement — we'll tell you honestly.
