🧊 Fridges: we couldn't find reliable published prices; the price usually comes after inspection. Get it in writing, and compare with a new fridge if it's a big fault (like the compressor).

A rough guide from 5 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), mostly price pages of repair companies. The final price is agreed between you and the technician. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.

Common problems and what usually causes them

Washing machine won't drain

Usually the pump filter is blocked by something small (a coin, a pin). Clean the filter at the bottom before calling anyone.

Loud noise when spinning

Usually the drum bearings, or the machine isn't level. If the noise gets worse over time, the bearings need replacing.

Water leaking under the machine

Usually the door seal or a loose hose. Check the rubber around the door for a tear.

Error code and the machine stops

Every code has a meaning in the manual. Take a photo and send it to the technician so they know before they come.

Fridge not cooling well

Often the coil at the back is full of dust, or the door seal doesn't close. Clean the coil and try again.

Water under the fridge

Usually the internal drain channel is blocked. It needs cleaning, not a new part.

Before you agree with any technician

  1. Ask about the call-out

    How much is the inspection, and is it deducted if they do the repair?

  2. Original part?

    Ask whether the part is original or a copy, and the difference in price and warranty.

  3. Price in writing first

    Ask for the full price (part + labour) on WhatsApp before they start.

  4. Warranty on the part

    How long is the warranty, and does it cover the part and the work, or only the part?

  5. The old part

    Ask for the old part they replaced, so you know it was really changed.

  6. Compare with new

    If the repair costs close to half a new machine, think twice before agreeing.

Make your appliances last longer

Clean the washing machine filter

Every month or two, clean the pump filter at the bottom of the machine.

Don't overload it

Too much weight wears the bearings and belt. Stick to the weight on the label.

Leave the door open

After washing, leave the door slightly open so it doesn't smell or grow mould.

Space behind the fridge

Leave room behind the fridge for air, and dust the coil once a year.

Common questions

Repair or buy a new washing machine?

If the machine is under about 7 years old and the repair costs less than half a new one, repairing is usually worth it.

Why does my washing machine smell?

Usually leftover soap and water in the door seal and filter. Run an empty hot wash with vinegar, and clean the seal and filter.

Does Laqeeni take commission?

No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the technician directly. You agree and pay between you.
