WASHING MACHINE PROBLEMS

LOUD SOUNDS

A common type of washer repair is for strange sounds coming out of the appliance. Technicians can uncover the cause of the loud noise and determine if we should repair or replace the broken appliance parts in the washing machine. The origin of the sound is often because of a worn-down pump motor or worn bearings or belt.

WILL NOT AGITATE

If your washing machine does not turn on, take a look to see if it’s not plugged in or if a circuit breaker might have flipped off. The issue might also be from a broken door latch, thermal fuse or timer. A washing machine that won’t turn on or agitate means the agitator cogs, coupler, drive belt or the transmission need repair or need replacement.

WILL NOT SPIN

A washing machine that does not spin means there’s a problem with the door latch, wax motor or motor coupling. We will repair these issues in no time at all and have your washer spinning again very soon!

OVERFLOWS

The common reasons for a washer overflowing is the water level pressure switch, water inlet valve or the air dome tube on the washing machine.

WATER TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS

A malfunctioning temperature control switch or inlet hose is typically the reason a washer will not produce hot or cold water.

DRYER PROBLEMS

LOUD SOUNDS

A very common dryer malfunction is loud sounds coming out of the appliance. Broken bearings, seals or worn-down belts can lead to strange sounds from dryers.

WILL NOT DRY

A dryer that won’t create enough heat to dry laundry isn’t very helpful. The cause of the issue is likely a broken heating element, high limit thermostat or cycling thermostat. The exact same parts might also cause a dryer to be too hot too. Our repairman will troubleshoot the machine to uncover the problem and solution.

WILL NOT TURN ON OR TUMBLE

When your dryer won’t turn on, you want to be sure the appliance is not unplugged and that all of the circuit breakers are on. If the dryer is plugged in and still will not turn on or tumble, the heating element, high limit thermostat or cycling thermostat will likely have to be repaired or replaced.

WILL NOT TURN OFF

The opposite issue happens when the dryer does not shut off. The reason for this particular problem is either a broken door switch or timer.

TIMER DOESN’T ADVANCE

A dryer timer is required to advance in order to complete the drying cycle. If the timer does not advance, it could mean there’s a broken cycling thermostat or timer motor.
