How do brand & quality tier change the parts cost?
Brand and tier adjust the parts portion only — never labour. Value brands such as Kolin, Hanabishi and Fujidenzo have the cheapest, most widely stocked parts; LG, Samsung, Sharp and Panasonic form the mass-market core, while premium and imported lines (Bosch, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Miele) carry pricier, often OEM-restricted components. Pick a tier in the calculator for a class-typical estimate, or a specific Philippine brand to override it.

Is it worth repairing a washing machine?
If the repair quote exceeds roughly half the price of a comparable new washing machine — or the unit is well past its typical service life — replacement is often the better value. Localize the repair range above first, then compare.
Prices are region-level estimates based on labour-cost data, not fake city precision. See the methodology for the localization method and named sources.
