A washing machine can be a pretty complex appliance. There's a lot that can possibly go wrong with it. When you first book a service appointment with one of our appliance repair technicians, we'll start out by diagnosing the source of the problem.
Once we've identified the cause of the washer's problem, we can give you options for quality repairs. Our diagnostics are thorough enough that we can also offer you advice on how to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. Some of the most common washing machine issues include:
- Won’t Turn On – Sometimes your machine will refuse to turn on because of its internal off-balance switch. This stops your unit from working when severely unbalanced. If you redistribute your clothes inside the washer, it might solve the problem. If that doesn’t work, the issue might be a broken door switch or timer.
- Machine Won’t Agitate – If your washing machine’s agitator doesn’t spin or twist, there could be many culprits. Some sources of the problem could be worn drive belts, wigwag plungers, agitator assemblies, drive spindles, lid switches, internal timer contacts, or pressure switches.
- Won’t Spin – When your washing machine fails to spin, it will be less efficient at cleaning your clothes. Your clothes are also likely to be waterlogged at the end of the cycle. The problem likely lies within a defective lid switch or plunger, damaged wiring, burned-out spin solenoids, bad timer contacts, or worn-out drive belts.
- Vibrates Too Much – When your washing machine isn't level, it can sound like a helicopter trying to take off in your laundry room. In most cases, this issue can be solved by leveling your unit. However, we may need to replace your snubber pads or damper pads if they are worn out.
- Has No Cold Water – Your washing machine has a valve specifically for cold water. If you notice that no cold water is coming through, that valve or the tubing connected to it is likely clogged or turned off.
- Leaks – Washing machine leaks can lead to water damage in your laundry room. The problem can usually be traced to a loose drain hose, a clogged drain hose, leaking tubs, faulty pumps, or an issue with the injector hose.
- Doesn’t Drain Properly – If you have a pump that isn’t working properly, you will notice standing water in your washing machine after a complete cycle. However, the problem can sometimes be caused by clogged drain hoses or worn driver belts.
- Leaves Spots on Clothes – If there are dark spots on your clothes after they go through the washing machine, you may have a defunct transmission leaking transmission oil into the unit.
