 Not spinning or agitating: A broken washing machine can leave your clothes soggy and dirty with problems like faulty lid switches, motor failures or broken drive belts. Get it fixed asap to stop the damage and get your laundry back on track.

Water leaks: Puddles around your washing machine mean big problems like water leaks from burst hoses, worn out seals or bad installation. Get it fixed asap to avoid costly repairs.

Strange noises: Weird noises during the cycle like grinding, squeaking or banging means mechanical problems with the drum, bearings or internal parts. Ignore these noises and you’ll have bigger problems, so call a professional.

Error codes: Washing machines have diagnostic systems that display error codes which can be a mystery to those who don’t know what they mean. If an error code is showing then get professional help.

Washing Machine Maintenance Tips

Clean your machine once a month 

Run an empty wash cycle with hot water and 2 cups white vinegar or a washing machine cleaning product to break down detergent residue, kill odors and mold and remove soap scum from plastic parts. Follow with a second hot water cycle using 1 cup baking soda for added freshness.

Inspect and replace hoses regularly 

Visually inspect your water supply hoses every few months for cracking, bulging, deterioration or leaks that can cause water damage and flooding. As a precaution, hoses should be replaced every 3-5 years. Upgrade to braided stainless steel hoses for more durability.

 

Leave door ajar after washing 

Prop your washer door or lid open after each cycle to promote proper air circulation and dry out to prevent the growth of mold, mildew and musty odors that accumulate in the drum and door gaskets.

Use the right amount of detergent 

Use the correct type and amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Too much detergent can create too many suds that damage seals and components and leave a soap scum residue that builds up over time. Special HE detergent is necessary for high-efficiency machines.

Clean filters and dispensers 

Clean the lint filter, drain pump filter and detergent dispenser drawer on a regular basis to avoid clogs that can lead to drainage issues, poor washing results and unnecessary strain on your machine's mechanics.

Balance the load 

Don't overload your machine and evenly distribute clothing around the washer drum to avoid excessive vibration, loud noise and unnecessary premature wear on the internal parts. Adjust the washer feet as needed to keep it level on the floor.

Washer Repair FAQs

1How often should I service my washing machine?
At least once a year, to keep it from breaking down and to get the best performance.
2How long does a typical washing machine repair take?
Time varies depending on the issue but typically 1-2 hours.
3What is the cost of repairing a washing machine?
Cost depends on the problem and parts needed. We offer competitive pricing and can give you a free quote.
4Why won't my washing machine water get hot?
Your washer is probably not to blame here. It may be your water heater. Washing machines don't usually heat water on their own (they just use hot water that comes out of your house).
5How do I stop my washing machine from shaking?
Washers vibrate for a variety of reasons: overloading, uneven loads, or a washer that is not level. Start with smaller loads, and see if adjusting your washer's feet helps it to level.
6Why won't my front-loading washing machine drain or spin?
Front-load washers are more susceptible to clogs than top-loading washers. It's most likely that your washer filter just needs to be cleaned. Filters are typically located behind a small panel on the front of your washer.
