Washer Won’t Start? Check the Power

Ensure the washing machine is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If the power supply is fine, but the machine still won’t start, the issue could be a faulty lid switch or control panel. Our washer repair services may be what you need in that case.

Water Won’t Drain? Look for Clogs

A clogged drain hose or pump filter can prevent your washer from draining properly. Clean out any debris and restart the cycle. If the water still won’t drain, a professional may need to inspect the pump.

Washer Shakes or Vibrates Too Much? Level the Machine

Unbalanced loads can cause excessive shaking. Check that the washer is sitting level, and adjust the feet if needed. Large, heavy loads should be evenly distributed to avoid further issues.

Clothes Still Soaking Wet? The Spin Cycle May Be Faulty

If your washer isn’t spinning properly, the issue could be with the motor, belt, or lid switch. Reset the machine and try a different cycle. If the problem persists, we can help diagnose the issue.
