The rest of the lineup
Same $99 diagnostic, same written quote, same written warranty on every machine we fix in Kuna.
A drum full of water that will not drain, a spin that never arrives, a puddle creeping across the laundry-room tile. Kuna washers work hard for young families, and Kuna water works hard against them. We drive down from West Boise, test the machine with a meter, name the failed part and write one price before touching a screwdriver.

Kuna sits twenty minutes south of our shop: Five Mile Rd to Overland, west to Ten Mile Rd, then straight south past Lake Hazel until the subdivisions give way to fields. Most of the washers we see here live in laundry rooms built between 2010 and 2023, in two-story houses off Kuna Rd, Deer Flat Rd and Linder Rd, with a few older places along Indian Creek and out toward Swan Falls Rd. Inside the city limits the water comes from municipal wells and runs hard. Outside the limits it comes from private wells and runs harder still, often with enough iron to tint a white load. A softener helps, but only while it has salt.
Hard water does its work on a washer slowly. Minerals build up on the screens inside the inlet valve until the machine takes ten minutes to fill, then the control times out and throws a fill error. Iron leaves an orange ring under the door boot on a front-loader. Kuna households also run a lot of loads: three kids and a commuter’s work clothes put a washer through more cycles in a year than most machines see in three. A typical call is a five-year-old front-loader in a Crimson Point garage that fills fine, washes fine, then sits with the door locked and a drum of grey water because the drain pump impeller has jammed on a sock.
Nine times in ten the drain pump has stopped, either from a jammed impeller or a burned-out motor. We drain the drum through the service hose, clear the filter and pump housing, and test the pump with the meter. A dead pump comes off the truck; a jammed one is often cleared and back in service the same hour.
This is the Kuna signature. Scale and sediment from the well pack the inlet valve screens and the valve itself narrows. We check pressure at the bib, clean or replace the screens, and swap the valve if the solenoid is weak on the meter. An empty softener gets mentioned, because the new valve will scale the same way.
A lid switch or door lock that no longer reports closed, a worn drive belt, or a motor control board that has lost a phase. We read the error log, test the switch and the motor windings, and put the machine through a spin cycle with the panel off to watch what actually moves.
Front-loaders leak at the door boot, the drain hose or a cracked detergent drawer housing; top-loaders at the tub seal or the inlet hoses. We run water with the cabinet open, find the drip, and replace the failed part. Old rubber supply hoses on a garage washer get flagged as a burst risk.
Worn suspension rods or shocks, a failed bearing, or a drum that was never leveled on a new-build garage slab. Bearing noise sounds like a jet on final approach. We check drum play by hand, inspect the shocks, and give you a written number that tells you whether the machine is worth keeping.
Check the outlet first; garage circuits in newer Kuna homes often share a breaker with the freezer. Beyond that it is the line filter, the main control board or a door lock that has failed open. We meter voltage in at every stage until the break shows itself, then replace the part that stopped it.
The technician starts by asking what you saw, then reads the machine’s own error history, which on most front-loaders built after 2012 tells us the last three faults. From there it is meter work: voltage at the pump, resistance across the inlet valve solenoids, continuity through the door lock, motor windings compared against spec. On a top-loader we lift the lid and watch the agitator and basket through a short cycle. We check the supply pressure and pull the inlet screens, because on Kuna well water a plugged screen can mimic three different electronic faults. Within twenty or thirty minutes the failed part has a name and you have one written number that covers the whole job.
Kuna’s laundry rooms are mostly Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG and GE, with Speed Queen showing up in the acreage homes and Kenmore in the older places near downtown. The 2010s subdivisions were sold with builder packages, so a whole street of the same washer tends to reach the same failures within a year or two of each other, and we stock accordingly. Landlords with rentals off Avalon St or near Kuna High School can have us meet the tenant, approve the number by text and receive the invoice and written warranty by email. The $99 diagnostic is inside whatever price you approve; if you decide not to repair, $99 is the entire bill. Everything else is priced after the diagnostic, in writing.
Yes. Anything within about thirty minutes of West Boise is in the service area with no distance charge, and that covers Kuna out to Swan Falls Rd and Kuna-Mora Rd. Well water changes what we expect to find, usually scale and iron in the inlet valve, so tell us on the phone if you are on a well and whether you run a softener.
Usually, yes. A four-year-old machine with a failed pump, valve or lock is a normal repair and the rest of the washer has years left. The written number tells you what the repair costs before anything is done, and if the problem turns out to be a bearing or a drum on a cheaper model, we say so and let you decide.
We do it all winter. Garage washers in Kuna face two cold-weather problems: supply hoses and the pump housing can freeze on a night in the teens, and the drain hose can hold ice. If the machine has been frozen we check the pump and hoses for cracks before running it, since a cracked pump only shows itself when water is moving.
Same week for washers, and often the next business day. We run early and late windows for commuters heading up Meridian Rd to Micron or downtown, and Saturday mornings are open. Tell us what the machine is doing when you call so the truck is stocked for the likely part.
Yes. Stacked pairs and laundry centers in Kuna townhomes and smaller two-stories get the same visit; we bring what is needed to separate the units safely if the repair calls for it. If the dryer above it needs attention too, we can look at both machines in the same visit and write separate numbers.
Call (208) 813-1132 or send the form. Most requests get a callback within the hour in business time, with a real arrival window.
The technician tests the machine with a meter, names the failed part in plain words, and writes one flat price. The $99 is already inside it.
We stock the high-failure parts for the brands Treasure Valley homes actually own, so most jobs close on the spot; ordered parts return with no second trip fee.
Full test cycle before we pack up, a tidy work area after, and a written warranty in your hand.
One call starts it: $99 diagnostic, one written number, repair from the truck, written warranty.
