Commercial washers run many more cycles than a home machine and add coin or card systems, heavier drives and, on larger machines, bolted-down frames that home models do not have. The Radford list below starts with companies that mention commercial, laundromat or multifamily laundry work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.

Budgeting for Commercial Repairs

- Shock absorber replacement: $150–$300 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a washing machine?
