A Washing Machine Repair Service Team Based in Lexington, KY

While the mechanical cause of your washing machine’s problem is likely complicated, the way in which your washing machine fails is usually pretty straightforward. When your washing machine doesn’t spin or turn on, the underlying issue is never clear, though. Some of the most common problems homeowners see with their washing machines include:

• Won’t Turn On – When your off-balance switch is tripped, your washing machine will not turn on. Moving around the clothes in the drum to distribute the weight more evenly may solve the problem. If not, you may need to repair or replace the timer circuitry or the outlet.
• Doesn’t Agitate – If your washing machine won’t agitate, it’s usually a sign that a component needs to be replaced or repaired, like a drive belt, wigwag plunger, drive spindle, or lid switch.
• Not Spinning – A washing machine that won’t spin can often be the result of many mechanical malfunctions. The cause could be anything from damaged wiring to burnt-out solenoids.
• Too Much Shaking or Vibrating – If your washing machine sounds like it’s banging around in your laundry room, it is usually just a matter of leveling it. However, the issue could be caused by worn-out snubber pads or damper pads.
• No Cold Water – When something stops cold water from getting into your washing machine, it may not rinse properly. In cases like this, we first check to see if your cold-water valve is in the on position and if your water valve is clogged in any way.
• Leaking Water – Faulty pumps, loose hoses, and broken water injectors can result in a leak in your home. Before you do another load, you should have a washing machine repair service professional inspect the source of the leak.
• Failure to Drain Properly – There should be no puddles of water in your washing machine when it’s completed all its cycles. A washing machine that doesn’t drain might need a new drive belt or drain hose.
• Soapy Clothes – Washing machines that leave excess soap on clothes usually have a damaged timer or a blockage in the cold-water valve.
• Spots on Clothes – In some cases, transmission oil can make its way into your washing machine. When that happens, you will notice spots on your clothes after they come out of the washing machine.
