Signs Your Washer Needs a Professional

Not sure if it's worth a call? These are the signs our technicians hear about most before a repair.

  • Water won't drain, or clothes come out soaking wet after spin
  • Loud banging, thumping, or grinding during the wash or spin cycle
  • Washer shakes or walks across the floor during spin
  • Water leaking from underneath or around the door seal
  • Won't start, stops mid-cycle, or displays a persistent error code
  • Musty smell or visible mold around the door gasket or dispenser

Common Washer Problems

Whatever's going on, our technicians have likely already fixed one just like it.

Won't Drain

Standing water left in the drum after the cycle finishes.

Won't Spin

Clothes come out dripping wet because the drum isn't spinning.

Leaking

Water pooling under the unit or around the door during a cycle.

Loud Noise or Vibration

Banging, grinding, or the machine shaking and walking during spin.

Won't Start or Stops Mid-Cycle

No power, cycle stalls partway through, or lid/door won't lock.

Musty Smell or Mold

Odor or residue building up around the gasket or detergent dispenser.

Technician's Take

Most "won't drain" calls on front-load washers turn out to be a coin, sock, or bra underwire lodged in the drain pump filter, not a failed pump. Before assuming the pump is dead, check the small access panel at the bottom front of the machine — clearing that filter solves it more often than not.

Washer Repair FAQ

This is most often a clogged drain pump filter, a kinked drain hose, or a failing drain pump. It's usually a straightforward fix that a technician can diagnose in one visit.
This is typically caused by an unbalanced load, worn suspension springs or shock absorbers, or a machine that isn't level on the floor. Persistent shaking is worth having checked, since it can accelerate wear on other parts.
Cost depends on the part and labor involved. We charge a diagnostic fee for the visit, which is applied toward the repair if you move forward with the recommended fix.
