Common Washing Machine Problems

If you're experiencing any of these issues with your washing machine, our skilled technicians can diagnose and repair the problem quickly.

Won't Start or Power Issues

If your washing machine won't turn on or start a cycle, it could be due to power supply issues, a faulty door lock, control board problems, or a defective timer. Our technicians can diagnose and resolve these electrical issues quickly.

Water Leaks

Water leaking from your washing machine can damage floors and create safety hazards. Common causes include damaged hoses, door seal issues, pump problems, or a cracked tub. We'll find and fix the source of the leak.

Excessive Vibration

If your washing machine shakes, walks, or makes loud noises during the spin cycle, it may be improperly balanced, have worn suspension rods, or damaged drum bearings. Our repair experts can restore smooth operation.

Draining Problems

When your washing machine won't drain properly, the issue could be a clogged drain pump, blocked hose, damaged pump motor, or a faulty lid switch. We can identify and fix the drainage issues to restore proper function.

Won't Fill With Water

If your machine doesn't fill or fills slowly, the issue could be with the water inlet valves, water pressure, or a defective water level switch. Our technicians can diagnose and repair these water supply problems.

Spin Cycle Issues

When your washing machine won't spin or spins poorly, leaving clothes wet, it could indicate problems with the motor coupling, drive belt, lid switch, or clutch assembly. We can repair these components to restore proper spinning.

Unusual Noises

Strange sounds like grinding, squeaking, or banging can indicate worn bearings, a damaged drive pulley, or foreign objects caught in the pump. Our experts can identify the source of the noise and make the necessary repairs.

Error Codes

Modern washing machines display error codes when they detect a problem. Our technicians are familiar with the diagnostic codes for all major brands and can quickly translate these codes into solutions for your specific issue.

Washing Machine Maintenance Tips

Follow these tips to keep your washing machine running efficiently and extend its lifespan between professional service visits:

Don't overload the machine

Overloading puts strain on the motor, bearings, and suspension. Follow the manufacturer's capacity guidelines.

Use the right detergent

Use HE (High Efficiency) detergent for HE machines. Using regular detergent in an HE washer can cause excess suds and problems.

Leave the door open after use

For front-load washers, leave the door ajar after use to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold and mildew growth.

Clean the dispensers

Regularly clean detergent, softener, and bleach dispensers to prevent buildup and ensure proper distribution during wash cycles.

Check hoses regularly

Inspect water supply hoses for bulging, cracking, or leaking. Replace hoses every 3-5 years as preventative maintenance.

Run cleaning cycles

Run a hot water cleaning cycle with vinegar or a commercial washing machine cleaner monthly to remove soap residue and mineral buildup.
