Your Laundry Pile Is Growing.
Nick's Can Fix That Today.
Washer not spinning, dryer not heating, or machines shaking the whole house — Nick's Refrigeration has diagnosed and repaired washing machines and dryers across Monroe County for 74 years. We fix it right. We tell you when it isn't worth fixing.
Recognize Any of These?
Most washer and dryer problems have a clear diagnosis — and most are repairable for less than you think. Here's what Monroe County homeowners call us about most.
Washing Machine Problems
- Won't spin or agitate — clothes come out soaking wet
- Won't drain — standing water left in the drum
- Shaking violently or walking across the floor
- Leaking water from the door, bottom, or hoses
- Won't start or stops mid-cycle
- Error codes flashing on the display
- Loud banging, grinding, or squealing noises
- Musty smell, mold, or detergent buildup issues
Dryer Problems
- Not heating — tumbles but clothes stay wet
- Takes 2–3 cycles to dry a single load
- Overheating or shutting off mid-cycle
- Won't start — no response when button is pressed
- Drum not turning — motor runs but nothing spins
- Loud squealing, thumping, or scraping sounds
- Gas dryer igniter or flame issues (gas models)
- Burning smell, unusual odors, or scorched clothes
We Find the Actual Problem — Not the Easy Explanation
A washer that shakes isn't always an unbalanced load. A dryer that doesn't heat isn't always a heating element. After 74 years, we've seen every shortcut diagnosis that leads to a second service call three months later — and we don't make them.
Nick's technicians diagnose root causes. We check the full system, not just the obvious symptom. That's how we've built a reputation worth keeping for seven decades in Monroe County.
- Clear estimate before any repair begins
- Honest advice: repair or replace
- All major brands — gas and electric
- Same-day service often available

Not Sure?
If it washes or dries clothes and it's broken, call us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can fix it and what it'll cost.
A Working Washer or Dryer Is Cheaper Than a New One. Usually By a Lot.
Monroe County homeowners are often surprised at what washer and dryer repair actually costs versus replacement. A new mid-range washer runs $600–$1,100. A new dryer is $500–$900. Most repairs we perform run well under that — and restore years of useful life.
Common repairs like belt replacements, motor brushes, and heating elements typically run $100–$350. That's not close to $600–$1,100 for a new machine.
Appliance delivery and installation can take days or weeks. A repair visit from Nick's often resolves the same day you call.
If your machine is too old or the repair cost approaches replacement cost, we'll tell you plainly. No pressure. Just the truth.

Washer & Dryer Repair Questions — Answered Honestly
No fluff. Just the information Monroe County homeowners actually need.
Is it worth repairing a washing machine or should I just replace it?
It depends on the age of the machine, the nature of the repair, and the cost relative to a new one. A general rule: if your washer is under 10 years old and the repair is less than half the cost of a new machine, repair almost always makes financial sense. If the machine is older or the repair is major (like a transmission or tub bearing), we'll tell you honestly when replacement is the smarter choice. Nick's doesn't benefit from pushing unnecessary repairs — our reputation is built on honest advice.
My dryer runs but doesn't heat — what's usually wrong?
On an electric dryer, this is most commonly a blown thermal fuse or a failed heating element — both are relatively inexpensive repairs. On a gas dryer, it's often the igniter, gas valve coils, or thermal fuse. In most cases, a "runs but doesn't heat" dryer is a straightforward repair that costs significantly less than a new dryer. We diagnose first, quote second — so you'll know the exact cost before anything is touched.
Why is my front-load washer leaking from the door?
Front-load washer door leaks are usually caused by a damaged or worn door boot seal (the rubber gasket around the drum opening), a faulty door latch, or debris caught in the seal. Boot seal replacements are one of the most common front-load washer repairs we perform in Monroe County. It's a repair that typically restores the machine to full working order at a fraction of replacement cost.
How much does washer or dryer repair cost in Monroe County?
Most washer and dryer repairs run between $100 and $350 depending on the part needed and the complexity of the job. Some simpler repairs (like a thermal fuse or belt replacement) run on the lower end. More complex jobs (like a drum bearing or motor replacement) run higher — but still often below the cost of a new appliance. Nick's provides a clear estimate before beginning any work. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and personal checks.
