r/Appliance

So I posted earlier that my whirlpool chrome shadow top loader washing machine was only getting hot for the clean cycle, but not to wash clothes. I had a private appliance company come over. They had to replace the entire water valve unit. After parts, labor, and of course New Jersey state tax getting in on the action, I paid $485. I’m very impatient and I wanted it taken care of right away so that’s why I said yes. The machine itself is listed around $1,300 brand new and I’ve had it for about four or five years I would say. Did I just get ripped off? Also, he was here for a good couple of hours so it’s not like he did a 10 minute job and left.
