Common problems with washing machines

There are a few problems that we see more often than others when it comes to washing machine repair. These include:

1. Leaking washing machine
2. Noisy washing machine
3. Washing machine not spinning
4. Washing machine not draining

Leaking Washing Machine

One of the most common issues we see is a leaking washing machine. If you notice that your washing machine is leaving water on the floor after each cycle, there’s a good chance that the door seal needs to be replaced. This is a repair that we can handle for you, and it’s relatively inexpensive.

Your Washing Machine is Making Loud Noises

Another common issue is a noisy washing machine. If your washing machine is making loud, grinding noises, something is likely stuck in the pump. This is a repair that we can handle for you, and it’s relatively inexpensive.

Washing machine is not spinning

If your washing machine is not spinning, it could be because the lid switch is broken. What you should do if you’re lid switch is broken – You’ll need to open up the washing machine and check the lid switch. If it’s broken, we recommend replacing it. This is a repair that we can handle for you, and it’s relatively inexpensive.

Washing machine not draining

If your washing machine is not draining properly, it could be because the pump is broken or clogged. If your pump is broken, we can replace it for you. Depending on your brand of washer, we may or may not have the pump available. In the rare case that we do not have your brand/type of pump, we can order the pump for you.

These are just a few of the most common problems that we see with washing machines. If you’re having any of these common issues, we’re only a phone call away!
