Common Problems with Washing Machine
Our washing machine repair experts have the experience, tools, and training to diagnose and resolve virtually any washer issue. With decades in appliance repair, we’ve seen it all.
1) Washer won’t start. This can result from power supply problems, a faulty door latch, broken start switch, malfunctioning timer, or internal mechanical issues like a worn motor or damaged control board.
2) Washer leaking. Leaks often come from damaged door gaskets, faulty water inlet valves, clogged drain hoses, or defective pumps. Overloading can also strain components and cause leaks.
3) Agitator not working. Worn couplings, broken belts, faulty transmissions, or control board issues can prevent proper agitator motion.
4) Washer not draining. Causes include clogged pump filters, blocked or kinked drain hoses, defective drain pumps, or control board issues.
5) Washer not spinning. Unbalanced loads, worn drive belts, faulty motor couplings, or motor problems can stop the drum from spinning.
6) Timer not advancing. Faulty timers, pressure switches, wiring issues, or control board malfunctions can prevent cycle progression.
7) Washer unbalanced. Improper installation, uneven loads, worn suspension springs, or damaged shock absorbers can cause excessive movement.
8) Washer not filling. Blocked or worn water inlet valves, clogged hoses, or defective pressure switches can prevent water flow.
9) Door won’t unlock. Faulty electronic locks, broken latches, or control board issues can keep the washer door from opening.
Our team can pinpoint the root cause and provide lasting repairs to get your washer running efficiently again.
Best Practices for Maintaining Your Washing Machine
Proper care can prevent common problems and reduce the need for costly repairs. Our washing machine repair experts recommend the following practices to keep your washer in top condition:
1) Clean regularly. Run a hot cycle with an empty drum using a washing machine cleaner or a mix of white vinegar and baking soda monthly. Clean the filter to remove lint, debris, and trapped items, and remove detergent drawers to prevent soap buildup and mold.
2) Distribute laundry evenly and avoid overloading. Evenly distribute clothes to prevent imbalance and avoid overloading, which can strain suspension components and reduce performance.
3) Use the right detergent. For high-efficiency washers, always use HE detergent in the correct amount. Too much detergent can cause residue buildup, poor washing performance, and clogs.
4) Keep the machine level. Ensure the washer sits on a flat, stable surface and adjust the feet as needed. A level machine reduces vibrations and prolongs component life.
5) Select proper wash settings. Match the cycle to the type of load to avoid unnecessary wear. Use delicate cycles for lighter loads and heavy-duty cycles for larger items.
6) Check hoses and connections. Inspect water supply hoses regularly for cracks, leaks, or signs of wear to prevent water damage and maintain proper flow.
