Counted from the 17 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
New Jersey holds 17 listed washer repair businesses, out of 673 nationwide. That ranks 10th of the 50 states with any, level with Minnesota and behind Texas on 27. They are 17 of the 18 businesses listed in New Jersey — 94% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 673 listed nationwide, and 16 of the 17 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 1,933 reviews, the largest single tally being 289 on Amazon HVAC and Appliance Repair in Jersey City. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Amazon HVAC and Appliance Repair in Jersey City (289 reviews, 4.7), Majestic Appliance Repair in Newark (282 reviews, 4.9) and Appliance Repair NJ in Newark (215 reviews, 4.5). By rating it is Majestic Appliance Repair at 4.9 on 282 reviews, Northeast Appliance Service at 4.9 on 85 reviews and Jersey City Appliance Pros at 4.8 on 189 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 17 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 6 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation and 3 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 2 advertise same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
7 of the 17 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1983, and the median across those that say is 16 years. Edison holds the most at 4 — 24% of the group — level with Newark, across 9 New Jersey cities with an index page. Between them they name 54 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

Beyond washer repair, these 17 businesses also list appliance sales (1). Worth knowing before the visit — a second job on the same call-out is far cheaper than a second call-out.
Not counted above
This is a real New Jersey company whose record carries contact details but no list of what it repairs. It does not state washer repair, so it is not counted in the 17 above and is not listed here as servicing one. Asking takes one phone call, which beats starting the search again.

The 5 most common washer faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.
Fills and washes but will not drain
Homeowner fixA blocked pump filter, a kinked drain hose, or a seized drain pump. On front-loaders the filter behind the lower access panel is the first place to look and is free to clear.
Step-by-step: Washer Won't Drain→Drains but will not spin
TechnicianA failed lid switch or door lock on a top-loader, or a stretched drive belt and worn motor coupler on a direct-drive machine.
Step-by-step: Washer Won't Spin→Walks across the floor or bangs hard on spin
TechnicianWorn suspension rods or shock absorbers letting the tub swing, or shipping bolts that were never removed at installation.
Step-by-step: Washer Shaking and Walking→Water on the floor after every cycle
TechnicianOn a front-loader, a split or mouldy door boot seal. On a top-loader, the tub-to-pump hose or the inlet valve behind the machine.
Step-by-step: Washer Leaking Water→Roaring or grinding that gets louder as the spin speeds up
TechnicianRear tub bearings. This is the one washer fault that regularly costs more than the machine is worth on a mid-market model.
15 published washer guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$100 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.
Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.
Clear the drain pump filter
Every 3 monthsPrevents: The most common no-drain call, and a pump killed by a lodged coin.
Run a hot maintenance wash with washer cleaner, drawer empty
MonthlyPrevents: Boot-seal biofilm, drum odour, and grey smears on laundry.
Wipe and dry the door boot and leave the door ajar
After every washPrevents: Mould in the seal — the single most common front-loader complaint.

Every state with a listed washer specialist, most first. New Jersey sits 10th of 50 on 17.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$100 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro New Jersey sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.
| Repair | Parts + labor |
|---|---|
| Clear pump filter or drain blockageFrequently just the diagnostic fee. | $80–$160 |
| Lid switch or door lock assemblyThe cheapest genuine part failure on a washer. | $130–$250 |
| Drive belt or motor couplerCoupler on a direct-drive top-loader is a designed sacrificial part. | $150–$300 |
| Drain pump replacementCheck for a lodged coin first — pumps are often blamed unfairly. | $150–$350 |
| Door boot seal (front-loader)Replace, do not patch; a mended boot leaks again. | $200–$400 |
| Suspension rods or shock absorbersAlways replaced as a set of four. | $180–$400 |
10–13 years. Top-loaders with a mechanical transmission often outlast that; high-speed front-loaders trend lower because their bearings and boot seals carry more work per cycle. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.
Blue Book
A quote above $400 on a washer past 7 years old is usually better spent on a replacement.
