Washing machine and dishwasher repair in Canada: costs and offers

Updated 4 November 2026

A washing machine repair in Canada usually costs CA$180 to CA$350 for parts and labour, and many cities add a service call on top. Prices depend on the fault, the brand and the province. The quickest way to see current prices for your machine or dishwasher is to send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and training

A snippet on Quebec says appliance repair does not need a specific provincial licence. In Ontario the Appliance Service Technician trade is 6000 hours, about three years, with 5280 hours on the job and 720 hours in school. Small appliance repairers usually need specialized college courses or several months of on-the-job training. Ask the technician how long they have worked on your brand.

Season: winter and laundry

November is the start of winter across Canada, and December to February is the coldest stretch. In winter the washer and dryer run indoors for longer, so a broken machine is a bigger problem than in summer. Book the repair in November, before the coldest weeks, so there is time to get a part if one is needed.

How the visit and price work

Repairs are done at the customer's home in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa, and most quotes start with a visit fee. In Ottawa a service visit for a residential appliance is CA$89 plus tax, CA$129 plus tax for gas or commercial work, and a written quote comes before any repair. In Toronto a service call is about CA$95 plus HST for an electric appliance and CA$129 plus HST for a gas one. Repairs in Ottawa and Gatineau typically total CA$180 to CA$560 for parts and labour.

What to put in your request

Tell BlaBlaPrice the device type, make and model, and the fault, such as a pump, a drum or a control board. Say whether the appliance is built-in or freestanding, how old it is, your address or area and when you need the visit. If you want a repair warranty or have a budget limit, add that too.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the fault in your own words in a chat and add a photo if it helps. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through repair businesses' websites and price lists in Canada, then shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered repair technicians reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden. Start with the request field on the home page or see home appliance repair.
