Washer won’t drain, spin or start, or is it leaking or shaking? We repair residential washing machines across both counties and explain your options before any work begins.
Completed repairs include a 90-day parts warranty and a 30-day workmanship warranty.
These are the washing machine problems homeowners call us about most. Each symptom has several possible causes, so we confirm the fault at your home before recommending a repair.
Water left in the tub or clothes that come out soaking wet can point to a kinked or clogged drain hose, a blocked pump filter, a drain pump fault, or a lid switch or door lock problem. Whirlpool’s washer not draining or spinning guide lists safe checks to try first. If they do not help, we test the parts.
A washer that bangs, grinds, or walks across the floor may only have an unbalanced load or uneven feet, or it may have worn suspension parts or bearings. Our guide to why a washing machine shakes and bangs during the spin cycle covers what to check before you call.
A washer that will not power on, shows an error code, or stops partway through a cycle needs electrical and control testing. Note the code and the point in the cycle where it stops; that helps us prepare. See also these signs your washing machine needs repair.
Water on the floor can come from a fill or drain hose, the door seal on a front-load washer, the water inlet valve, or the drain pump. If the leak is active, stop the cycle and close the water supply valves behind the washer, then call us so we can find the source.
We repair both front-load and top-load washers, including high-efficiency models, from the major brands we service such as Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Kenmore, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Bosch, and Speed Queen. Front-load washers more often bring door seal, door lock, and drain filter concerns; top-load washers more often bring lid switch, suspension, and agitator or wash plate concerns. If your dryer is giving you trouble too, ask about our dryer repair service when you call.

Every visit starts with a diagnosis, not a guess. When you call, tell us the brand, the model number if you have it, and what the washer is doing.
A technician inspects the machine at your home, tests the parts tied to the symptom, and explains in plain language what failed.
You get your repair options and the price before any work starts. If a reliable, cost-effective repair is possible, that is what we recommend. Completed repairs carry a 90-day parts warranty and a 30-day workmanship warranty; the full terms are in our Terms of Service.

Most washer problems can be repaired, and we will tell you plainly when a repair does not make sense. The main things to weigh are the age and overall condition of the machine, the cost of the repair compared with a comparable new washer, and whether the tub, frame, and bearings are still sound.
Efficiency matters too: according to ENERGY STAR’s clothes washer guidance, certified washers use about 20% less energy and about 30% less water than regular washers. It is also worth checking the CPSC recall database for your model, because a recalled washer may qualify for a remedy from the manufacturer. After the diagnosis we give you the repair price so you can compare the options yourself.

Call for a diagnosis if the washer will not start, will not drain or spin, leaks onto the floor, shakes or bangs loudly, or stops in the middle of a cycle and basic checks have not helped. Leaks and burning smells should not wait, because they can damage flooring or wiring.
Possible causes include a kinked or clogged drain hose, a blocked pump filter, a worn or jammed drain pump, or a control or lid switch fault. Check the hose for kinks and make sure the lid or door is fully closed. If water is still standing in the tub, we test the drain system to find the cause.
An unbalanced load is the simplest cause, so redistribute the laundry and try again. If it still will not spin, the problem may involve the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or motor coupling, the motor, or the control. We identify the failed part and explain your repair options before any work begins.
Leaks can come from a fill or drain hose, the door seal on a front-load washer, the water inlet valve, the drain pump, or too much detergent causing oversudsing. Stop the cycle, close the water supply valves, and call us so we can locate the source.
It depends on the washer’s age and condition and on how the repair price compares with a comparable new machine. We recommend a repair whenever a reliable, cost-effective one is possible, and we tell you when it is not. You get the repair price after the diagnosis, so the decision is yours.
