WASHER PROBLEMS

LOUD/CONSISTENT NOISES

The most common reason we get called to fix washers because of loud noises coming from the appliance. We can diagnose the reason for the loud noise and tell you if we need to repair or to replace the broken parts. The cause of washer noise is commonly a worn belt, broken pump motor, or damaged bearings.

WON’T TURN ON/AGITATE

When your washing machine does not turn on, make sure it is plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not flipped off. Common reasons for a washer not turning on are a broken door latch, timer or, thermal fuse. When your washer won’t agitate the agitator cogs, drive belt, coupler, or transmission need to be repaired or replaced.

WON’T SPIN

Problems with the wax motor, motor coupling, or door latch will keep a washer from spinning. This is an easy repair for which we carry the tools and parts in our service vans. Call us for same-day repairs.

DRYER PROBLEMS

Your dryer needs to produce heat to do its job. When it will not heat up there is a broken heating element, cycling thermostat, or high limit thermostat. The same parts can cause a dryer to be too hot as well. Our technician will check out the dryer to find the problem and the fix it on the spot.
