Emma WhiteI don’t know about you, but for me, it’s gut-wrenching realizing your washing machine is on strike. One minute it’s happily chugging away, doing its thing, and the next, you’re ankle-deep in soapy water with a pile of soggy laundry staring back at you.
That time when my machine quit on me, I tried everything—restarting it like it was a computer and even sweet-talking it, but nothing worked, of course! I eventually had to call in the pros who wouldn’t charge me an arm and a leg to bring my machine back to life.
And to save you from the same trouble, my team and I put together a list of the best washing machine repairers in Ottawa and reviewed each one. See below who you should call!

1. Doctor Appliance Repair
Address: Serving Ottawa and nearby areas
Phone: +1 613 606 6038
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday – 8 AM to 3 PM
Doctor Appliance Repair has over a decade of combined appliance repair expertise, where their technicians excel at diagnosing and solving issues efficiently.
They work with all the big-name brands like LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, and Maytag, so you don’t have to worry about whether they can handle your particular machine.
What really won us over is their free service call that comes with every repair. Moreover, they also do same-day repairs, which is a lifesaver when your washer decides to quit on laundry day.
Plus, they offer a warranty on both parts and labour for 90 days, so you’re not stressing about something breaking again right after it’s fixed.
Notably, previous clients praise the technicians for their punctuality and how their mobile service makes everything so convenient.
However, we encountered delayed responses to our initial enquiries, so you might experience a slight wait before securing an appointment.
Respectful and thorough service
“Had a great experience with Doctor Appliance. They were quick to get back to me, order parts and get my dryer fixed. Thank you to Jay for the great service and being so respectful in our house. He even vacuumed up the area and dryer parts for me.
Would recommend !”
Sonya G., Google Review
Above-and-beyond effort with great transparency
“I had an issue with my dryer, the company was responsive and booked an appointment quickly and accommodated my schedule. The technician (Jay) went above and beyond to diagnose and source the bearing for my dryer. Jay was transparent on price and ensured that I was comfortable with the cost. Jay also discussed different options based on price. We decided to go ahead and fix the bearing but none of the part was available in the city. Jay reached out to the Appliance Doctor team to find a solution. It turned out that his manager had the bearings with him but was at another job. Jay left to pickup the bearings from his manager and came back at a time I was available. He was even will to come back after his shift ended if needed. My dryer is fixed and the service was great! This is a stark contrast from other companies that I’ve used in the past. WOULD RECOMMEND!!”

2. Honest Guys Appliance Repair Inc.
Address: Serving Ottawa and nearby areas
Phone: +1 613 691 9344
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 8 PM
- Saturday and Sunday – 10 AM to 2 PM
With over six years in the business, Honest Guys Appliance Repair has got this whole “transparent, no-nonsense” vibe going on. They won’t push repairs on you unless it’s actually worth it—which, we all know, isn’t something you always get with other services.
These guys aren’t just about washing machines either. They handle everything—dryers, fridges, dishwashers, you name it—and they’ve got technicians who know their way around all major appliance brands.
Oh, and their 90-day warranty for parts and labour is a solid bonus. It’s like, even if something goes south after they fix your appliance, you’re still covered.
Clients are big fans of their friendly approach and of how they go the extra mile to keep things neat, even during repairs that can get messy.
On the downside, we noticed that they’re a bit short-staffed, which means bookings can take longer to set up—or you might hear back after hours to sort it out.
Polite, knowledgeable, and honest service
“Nothing but good things to say about this company. Rony called in advance to let me know he’s on his way and once he showed up he was very polite and knowledgeable about my dryer. Instead of selling me parts I didn’t need he simply cleaned my dryer from all the burnt up lint and preformed maintenance work on it. Thank you Rony you are the best.”

Reliable and thorough maintenance expertise

3. Capital Appliance Repair
Address: 563 Gladstone Ave Unit 24
Phone: +1 613 454 1577
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 8 PM
- Saturday – 8 AM to 6 PM
- Sunday – 8 AM to 5 PM
Capital Appliance Repair handles just about everything—fridges, dishwashers, dryers, stoves, and of course, washing machines.
We’re pleased to know that they can work with major brands such as Samsung, LG, and Whirlpool. Another that’s pretty great is their same-day service, which really saves the day.
Additionally, they offer a one-year warranty for all repairs. We’ve chatted with a few clients as well, and many said the techs showed up on time—or even early.
One customer added that the technician identified the issue right away and had the spare part ready. It’s impressive how the whole thing was sorted out in less than an hour!
Now, while the warranty is great, we’ve heard of washers breaking down again soon after repairs. In some cases, this led to replacements, which aren’t fully covered and can get pricey.
Quick and efficient service
“George came by earlier than expected and he thankfully was able to fix my dryer within 30 minutes, he had all the spare parts needed and was able to fix deficiencies that were not even part of the fix. I messaged late at night and all this was done within a few hours of my message and him arriving. Will definitely reach out to them again and grateful for the efficient support.”
Zuzanna Kucharski, Google Review
Knowledgeable and prompt technician
“Thanks to Vitali for his prompt and expert service to my old Kenmore dryer. Found the problem and fixed it within half an hour. Much appreciated. He was friendly and able to answer all my questions.”

4. Appliance Technician
Address: Serving Ottawa and nearby areas
Phone: [email protected]
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 7 AM to 7 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 6 PM
- Sunday – 9 AM to 4 PM
Appliance Technician has become one of those go-to names for fixing appliances in Ottawa, thanks to their A+ rating on BBB, Google Guaranteed certification, and glowing feedback!
You can book them online anytime. They’re in high demand, though, so you might have to wait a little longer for an appointment.
Even so, they offer same-day or next-day service! Plus, they’re not just good with washing machines since they also fix dryers, fridges, ovens, stoves, and dishwashers!
It’s also notable that they work with major brands like Samsung, LG, Bosch, and more! The one-year warranty on parts and 90 days on labour is also a great cushion.
But what we like most is how their techs show up ready to roll, often with the right parts already on hand. Plus, they actually take the time to explain what’s wrong with your appliance, not just throw jargon at you.
Honest expertise and thorough guidance
“Iurii handled my problem by immediately identifying the issue and ordering the part. Then he went on to address an issue with another appliance by telling me (against his own economic interest!) not to repair it and just to get a new model, coaching me on brands to avoid and brands to trust. Would absolutely recommend for any appliance issue—a professional who is competent and extremely knowledgeable.”
David, Google Review
Knowledgeable and cost-saving solutions
“Iurii was very professional, he was very knowledgeable and was able to save us a lot of money! He’ll be my main go to for all electronic appliances. A real pleasure to have in our home.”

5. Max Appliance Repair Ottawa
Address: Serving Ottawa and nearby areas
Phone: +1 613 518 2177
Business Hours:
- Monday to Sunday – 8 AM to 8 PM
Max Appliance Repair Ottawa has been around for 15 years, and it’s clear why they’ve become a go-to for appliance repair in both homes and businesses.
They’ve nailed the whole same-day service thing—clients rave about how quickly they show up and get things done. They arrive prepared with tools and spare parts, so most of the time, they get the job done in a couple of hours.
We’ve seen a ton of positive feedback about their efficiency, too. People love how the team is quick to figure out what’s worn and straight-up honest about what you just need (no unnecessary upselling here).
On top of that, their pricing feels fair for most customers, and they throw in perks like a free service call with every repair and a 3-month warranty.
Now, it’s not all perfect. There have been a few grumbles about some technicians arriving late without giving notice, so we hope they could improve on this aspect.
Exceptional expertise and friendly service
“I couldn’t be happier with my dishwasher repair service! Maxim arrived promptly and was incredibly professional, diagnosing the issue with ease. We had to wait for the part to come in, but he left leaving my dishwasher running like new. Maxim’s expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend them for any appliance repairs, Thank you again!”
