Generally speaking if the machine is over a certain age then you are better off looking for a new one. What you might do is post the problem and someone on the forum might be able to help you. I just saved my mom a new dryer by diagnosing the problem over the phone.
She had heat and heard the motor turning but not the drum. There are only a few things that could cause that. I told her it was probably a broken belt which my son stopped by a verified. Installed new belt cleaned out inside and she was good to go. Also there are many on line parts suppliers with price savings ranging up to 50% over the dealer and they are exactly the same part.
So that being said a washer is more complicated but it is worth a shot.
Good luck with it and if it was me I’d steer clear of Sears repair service.

Yes, do tell us what the symptoms are. In my experience, many washer problems aren't all that difficult to repair yourself. Inadequate agitation and water pumpout might be just a belt in need of retensioning or something like a stone from someone's pocket jamming the water pump. Failure to fill, especially if set for just cold or hot water, might be just a need for a new mixing valve. As someone else said, parts are readily available online, and you could save a pile of money doing the job yourself.

I would call Tom Trembley at Suncook Valley Appliance repair. I have used him for all sorts of repairs in the Wolfeboro area and generally would say that if he cannot fix it, it cannot be fixed!
724-0545 or svarepair@svarepair.com
Prompt and professional service.

A clogged water inlet screen was the problem. cleaned it out and all is well. I have HIGH iron water I guess.
Thanks for all of the help from the forum guys.
