Is it worth fixing a GE washing machine?

Is it worth fixing a GE washing machine depends on age, type of failure, and cost of repair versus replacement. For minor repairs like drain pump replacement costing 100 to 200 dollars including pump at 30 to 70 dollars, inlet valve replacement at 80 to 150 dollars including valve at 20 to 40 dollars, door lock replacement at 100 to 180 dollars including lock at 20 to 40 dollars, and belt replacement at 100 to 200 dollars, repair is usually worth it if washer is less than 8 years old and otherwise cleaning well, as new GE washer costs 600 to 1,100 dollars. For major repairs like transmission or bearing replacement costing 300 to 500 dollars, and control board replacement costing 200 to 400 dollars including board at 100 to 250 dollars, it is only worth it if washer is premium model like GFW650SSNWW costing 800 to 1,100 dollars new and less than 6 years old, otherwise replacement is better as other components will soon fail. If GE washer is over 10 years old and needs any repair over 250 dollars, replacement is more economical as average lifespan of GE washers is 10 to 12 years and new Energy Star models save water and energy. Check warranty: GE offers 1-year full warranty and 10-year motor warranty on many models, so motor may be free. If repair estimate exceeds 50 percent of replacement cost, buy new washer.
