If your Whirlpool washing machine isn’t working like it used to—maybe it’s not spinning, draining, or starting at all—it’s natural to feel the urge to call a technician right away.

But wait—if your washer is still under warranty, the first step isn’t repair… it’s research.
That’s because Whirlpool offers manufacturer support, and you may be eligible for free repairs or replacements—but only if you follow their process.

At Starfix Appliance Repair, we want to earn your business and your trust, which is why we’re upfront about your best options. Let’s walk through them.


✅ Step 1: Is Your Whirlpool Washer Still Under Warranty?

Whirlpool appliances usually include:

  • A 1-year limited warranty (parts & labor)
  • Some models may offer extended coverage for major parts like the drum or motor

📞 To check coverage or book service directly with Whirlpool Canada:
Call 1-800-807-6777 or visit: Whirlpool Canada Warranty Page

✔ Be ready with your model and serial number
✔ If your washer is under warranty, Whirlpool will guide you to an authorized repair provider

Pro Tip: Attempting a repair yourself—or hiring a non-authorized technician—could void your warranty.


💡 Step 2: What If It’s an Extended Warranty?

If you purchased your Whirlpool washer from a retailer like Home Depot, Best Buy, Lowe’s, Trail Appliances, or similar, you may have added an extended warranty or protection plan.

Here’s what to do next:

  1. Locate your warranty paperwork – This might be from a third-party like Comerco, Assurant, or the retailer itself.
  2. Look for a phone number or website – It will usually say something like “To make a claim, call…”
  3. Have your appliance model, serial number, and purchase date ready
  4. Call the warranty company directly to file a claim and request service
  5. Ask for Starfix by name, we’ll be dispatched for the repair—just like that

📌 Starfix Appliance Repair is already registered with many major extended warranty companies—so if we’re assigned to your case, you’re in trusted hands.

If the warranty doesn’t cover the issue or has expired, we’re still ready to help with fast, affordable Whirlpool washer repairs.
