Washers can develop issues over time due to normal wear and tear, electrical problems, or damaged components. Our technicians frequently repair:
Washer Won't Spin
One of the most common reasons homeowners call us is because their washer completes a cycle but leaves clothes soaking wet.
This issue may be caused by:
- A worn drive belt
- A faulty lid switch
- Motor problems
- A damaged clutch assembly
- Control board issues
If your washer isn't spinning properly, continuing to use it can place additional strain on other components.
Washer Won't Drain
Finding standing water inside the drum after a cycle is never a good sign.
Common causes include:
- Clogged drain hoses
- Blocked drain pumps
- Faulty pump motors
- Drainage system obstructions
Many homeowners first notice this issue when they open the lid and discover several inches of water still sitting inside the machine.
Washer Is Leaking Water
A leaking washing machine can damage flooring, drywall, and nearby cabinets if left unchecked.
Leaks often result from:
- Worn door seals
- Damaged hoses
- Loose water connections
- Cracked drain pumps
- Internal component failures
Sometimes leaks only appear during certain portions of the wash cycle, making proper diagnosis especially important.
Washer Makes Loud Noises
Washers naturally make some noise, but grinding, banging, squealing, or metal-on-metal sounds usually indicate a problem.
Potential causes include:
- Worn drum bearings
- Damaged suspension components
- Loose internal hardware
- Motor issues
- Worn pulleys
If your washer sounds significantly louder than it used to, it's often worth having it inspected before a minor problem becomes a major repair.
Washer Shakes Excessively
A washer that violently shakes or "walks" across the floor can be alarming.
Possible causes include:
- Worn suspension rods
- Broken shock absorbers
- Unbalanced loads
- Leveling problems
- Damaged support components
While occasionally caused by an uneven load, persistent shaking often points to a mechanical issue.
Washer Won't Fill With Water
When a washer refuses to fill, laundry day comes to a halt.
This problem may stem from:
- Faulty water inlet valves
- Clogged screens
- Pressure switch failures
- Control board issues
- Water supply problems
Proper diagnosis helps determine whether the issue is inside the appliance or related to the home's plumbing.
Washer Stops Mid-Cycle
Many homeowners call us after their washer repeatedly pauses or shuts down before finishing a cycle.
This can happen because of:
- Faulty door lock assemblies
- Electrical issues
- Sensor failures
- Motor overheating
- Control board malfunctions
Intermittent problems can be particularly frustrating because they don't always happen consistently.
