Your washing machine is a vital part of your weekly routine. When it starts acting up, laundry day quickly turns into a headache. While some minor issues can be fixed at home, many problems require a professional repair. Here are six common washing machine problems to watch for:
1. Washer Won’t Start
If nothing happens when you press the start button, the issue could be a faulty lid switch, power supply problem, or blown fuse. A technician can pinpoint the exact cause.
2. Not Draining Properly
Water left sitting in the drum? This is often caused by a clogged pump or broken drain hose. Continuing to use the washer may cause leaks or further damage.
3. Leaking Water
Leaks from under or around your washer could stem from worn hoses, loose fittings, or a damaged door seal. Prompt repair helps avoid water damage and mold growth.
4. Excessive Vibration or Movement
A shaking washer might just need leveling—but it could also be caused by worn suspension rods or a broken shock absorber.
5. No Spinning or Agitation
If your washer isn’t spinning or agitating, the drive belt, motor, or transmission may be failing. These are complex repairs that should be handled by a pro.
6. Error Codes or Warning Lights
Modern washers display error codes to flag problems like unbalanced loads, drainage issues, or sensor failures. We can interpret these codes and fix the issue fast.
