Common Washer and Dryer Problems We Solve

Our skilled technicians have encountered and resolved virtually every type of washer and dryer problem imaginable. We have the expertise to get to the root cause of the issue, whether it’s a minor malfunction or a major component failure.

Washer and Dryer Not Draining

A washer that fails to drain is a common and messy problem. This issue is most often caused by a clog in the drain hose or a malfunctioning drain pump. Small items like socks or lint can get lodged in the pump or the hose, creating a blockage. The pump itself is a mechanical component that can also fail over time. Our technicians will inspect the entire drainage system, from the pump to the drain hose, to identify and clear any blockages or replace a faulty pump. We can quickly restore your washer’s ability to drain water completely and effectively.

Washer and Dryer Are Still Dirty or Wet

If your washer isn’t cleaning clothes effectively, it could be a sign of a problem with the water intake, a broken agitator, or a failing motor. For dryers, clothes that come out still damp after a full cycle are a clear indication of an issue with the heating element or the airflow. A clogged lint screen or a blocked exhaust vent can significantly restrict airflow, causing the dryer to run inefficiently. Our team will meticulously inspect all relevant components, including the water inlet valve on your washer and the heating element and venting on your dryer, to ensure your appliances are operating at peak performance.

Washer and Dryer is Leaking Water

A leaking washer or dryer can cause significant water damage to your floors and surrounding property. The source of a leak can be difficult to pinpoint, often stemming from a broken hose, a malfunctioning water inlet valve, or a faulty pump seal. On some models, a damaged tub seal can also be the culprit. Our technicians are experts at tracing the source of a leak, no matter how small. We will perform a full diagnostic to identify the exact cause and make the necessary repairs to prevent future water damage and ensure a watertight seal on all components.

Washer and Dryer Won’t Start

When your washer or dryer won’t turn on, the problem can be caused by a variety of issues, from a simple power supply problem to a more complex component failure. It could be a faulty door switch, a blown thermal fuse, or a problem with the main electronic control board. The appliance’s safety features, such as the door latch, can also prevent it from starting if they are not working correctly. Our team will systematically troubleshoot the power supply, door latch, and all electrical components to determine why your appliance is unresponsive and get it working again with minimal delay.

Washer and Dryer is Making Loud or Unusual Noises

Strange noises like grinding, clunking, or squealing are often a sign of a failing component inside your washer or dryer. For washers, a loud noise during the spin cycle can indicate a problem with the drum bearings, while a loud humming sound could be a failing motor or drain pump. In dryers, a squealing noise often points to a worn-out roller, and a thumping noise can be a sign of a bad drum support. Ignoring these noises can lead to more serious damage to the appliance. We will identify the source of the noise and replace the failing part to restore quiet, smooth operation.

Washer and Dryer is Displaying an Error Code

Many modern washers and dryers are equipped with a self-diagnostic system that displays error codes when a problem is detected. These codes can be helpful, but they often require professional interpretation to determine the exact component that has failed. The code might point to a general issue, but only a skilled technician can perform a comprehensive diagnostic to find the root cause. For example, a code might signal a draining problem, but a technician needs to determine if it’s a pump issue, a clog, or an electronic fault. We understand these codes and use them as a starting point for our expert diagnosis and repair.

Washer and Dryer Door Won’t Latch

The door latch on a washer or dryer is a critical safety component that must function properly for the appliance to run. If the door won’t latch, the unit will not start. The problem can be a mechanical issue with the latch itself, a misaligned door, or a failing door switch that signals to the control board that the door is closed. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the problem with your door latch and replace the faulty component. We ensure your appliance is safe to operate and that the door forms a secure seal to prevent leaks and ensure a proper cycle completion.
