Will not drain or will not spin
This is our number-one washer call, and the cause is usually mechanical and fixable. A drain pump blocked by a sock, coin, or underwire; a failed drain pump motor; a kinked or clogged drain hose; or a door lock and latch assembly that will not report locked, which stops the machine from ever entering spin.
On front-loaders, a persistent no-spin also points to worn drum bearings or a stretched drive belt. On direct-drive top-loaders, a broken motor coupler or a failed shift actuator will spin the motor with the basket standing still. We diagnose which it is instead of replacing parts in sequence and billing you for the guesses.
Leaks, shaking, and error codes
Leaks come from a short list: the door boot seal on front-loaders (usually torn at the bottom front), the water inlet valve, the drain pump housing, tub-to-pump hoses, and the tub seal itself. Finding the true source matters, because a boot seal is a straightforward repair and a tub seal on some models is not economical.
A washer that bangs and walks during spin normally has worn suspension rods or shock absorbers letting the tub swing, though an unbalanced load or an unlevel floor can produce the same complaint. Modern machines also stop and post a code — LE and UE on LG, 5D, 4C, and dC on Samsung, F-codes on Whirlpool and Maytag. We read the code, then verify the actual failure it points at, because a code names a symptom, not always the broken part.
Front-load and top-load, every brand
We work on high-efficiency front-loaders, traditional agitator top-loaders, impeller top-loaders, stacked laundry centers, and compact units. Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Bosch, Speed Queen, and Kenmore are all routine for us.
While we are there we will tell you what is actually shortening your machine's life — overloading, too much detergent in an HE machine, or a drain line that cannot keep up. Small habit changes prevent a lot of repeat calls.
