Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.

What else is worn
Shock absorbers, a counterweight fixing or something loose in the drum make the same noise for a fraction of this. They are excluded before anything is quoted.

The machine's history
A first bearing on a ten-year machine and a second on a fifteen-year one are different decisions, and the sums are shown either way.

In more detail
About Miele washing machine bearing & drum repair cost
The one place we say no
There are machines where this repair is not worth its cost, and on those you get the reasoning rather than the work. The twenty-year design life is what usually makes it worth doing; a machine that has had it done already is what usually makes it not.
Caught early it stays this figure
A bearing run to failure can take the drum and the shaft. That is the version where the sums stop working, and it is avoidable by acting on the noise.

Questions about miele washing machine bearing & drum repair cost
Is it cheaper to buy a new machine?
Compared with an equivalent machine, usually not — and that comparison is the honest one rather than against the cheapest washer on the market. You get both numbers.
Could the noise be something cheap?
Yes, and it is checked. Transit bolts, feet, shock absorbers and loose objects all make serious noises for a fraction of this figure.
