Samsung
Big on features and smart connectivity, with a large installed base of washing machines, dishwashers and American fridge freezers in the UK. Typical repair cost for a Samsung washing machine: £70–£180.
Samsung uses short alphanumeric codes such as 4E, 5E, DE, UE, LE and HE on washers, and 22E/24E-type codes on fridges.
Most Samsung washing machine repairs cost £70–£180 including parts and labour. Prices depend on the fault and parts availability.
If the machine is under 8 years old and the fault is a pump, door lock, hose, heater or carbon brushes, repair is almost always worth it. Drum bearing or main board failures on budget machines over 8 years old are where replacement starts to make sense.
The model and serial number are on a rating plate — typically inside the door frame, on the back panel, or inside the fridge on the side wall. Quote it when booking a repair so the engineer brings the right parts.
