Deciding whether to repair or replace a washing machine generally follows a standard industry guideline known as the 50 percent rule. If the total cost of the repair exceeds half the price of purchasing a brand-new, comparable machine, replacement is usually the more economical choice over time. Another important factor to consider is the age of the appliance relative to its expected lifespan; repairing a minor issue like a worn-out drain pump on a relatively new machine is usually worth the investment. However, if your washing machine is nearing the end of its typical operational lifespan and has experienced multiple major breakdowns or component failures, putting money into repairs often leads to throwing good money after bad.
