If you share your city or ZIP and washer brand/problem (e.g., not draining, error code), I can narrow it to the closest options and suggest who’s best for that brand.

Quick prep tips before you call:

• Have the model/serial number and any error codes ready.
• Note symptoms (won’t spin, leaks, loud during spin, etc.) and when they started.
• If you’re in the City of Sonoma proper, Gold Ridge’s FAQ says they don’t cover it; try Kelly’s, Scott’s, Cain, or Feria instead. (goldridgeappliance.com)

Here's a rundown of washing machine repair options in Sonoma County, based on local listings and reviews.

Top picks

Kelly's Appliance Center — Cotati Certified technicians who handle drum problems, electrical faults, and water leaks, and explicitly service both top-load and front-load washers across Sonoma County and Novato. Rated 4.9 (144 ratings); open Mon–Fri 8:30 AM–4:30 PM at 466 Primero Ct, Cotati — (707) 664-9702.

Other solid options

⚠️ A couple of caveats: E&A WASH AND DRY (3450 Airway Dr) is primarily a laundry service and industrial equipment supplier rather than a residential washer repair shop, and Food Equipment Repair Service Inc specializes in commercial kitchen equipment, not home laundry.

What to tell them

Kelly's lists the most common symptoms worth mentioning when you call: unusual shaking or wobbling, water leaks, bad smells, water not draining, detergent/bleach not dispensing, or unusual noises. kellysappliancerepair.com

Quick tips before booking:

• Confirm they service your specific brand (many shops are factory-authorized for only some brands).
• Ask whether there's a diagnostic/trip fee and whether it's credited toward the repair.
• Note whether you have a top-load or front-load machine and gas vs. electric dryer.
• Kelly's and Feria both work weekdays only — if you need weekend or evening service, Sears (4 AM–8 PM daily) or Morgan (Mon–Sun) are better bets.

Strong first calls

Before you call

• 1.Check whether the washer is still under the manufacturer’s warranty. If it is, call the brand first so you don’t pay out of pocket for a covered repair.
• 2.Have the brand, model number (usually inside the door or on the back), and a short description of the problem ready.
• 3.Ask whether the diagnostic fee is applied to the repair, and get a written or clear verbal quote before they order parts or start work.
• 4.For leaks, no-drain, or locked-door issues with wet clothes inside, mention that up front so they can prioritize or advise a temporary workaround.

Availability and coverage vary by town, so confirm they service your ZIP when you call. If you share your city (for example Santa Rosa, Petaluma, or Sonoma) and the washer brand, a shorter shortlist is easy to narrow further.
