Washer/Dryer Repair Service 

 

WASHER PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

1. Washer Won’t Start

• Possible Causes: Faulty lid switch, tripped breaker, or control board failure.

• Solution: Check the power source and lid switch. If the issue continues, professional testing of the control board may be required.

2. Washer Not Draining

• Possible Causes: Clogged drain pump, kinked hose, or a faulty pump motor.

• Solution: Clear any obstructions from the drain filter or hose. If the pump motor is bad, it may need replacement.

3. Washer is Shaking or Loud

• Possible Causes: Unbalanced load, worn shock absorbers, or leveling legs not set correctly.

• Solution: Rebalance the load, adjust the legs, or replace worn suspension parts
 

4. Washer Not Spinning

• Possible Causes: Broken belt, faulty lid switch, or motor/control issues.

• Solution: Inspect and replace any worn belts. If the lid switch is faulty, it should be replaced.

 

5. Water Leaking from Washer

• Possible Causes: Damaged door seal (front-load), loose hoses, or a cracked tub.

• Solution: Tighten hose connections or replace the door gasket. Cracked tubs often require professional service.
 

DRYER PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

1. Dryer Not Heating

• Possible Causes: Blown thermal fuse, bad heating element, or faulty thermostat.

• Solution: Replace the faulty component after testing it with a multimeter.

2. Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry

• Possible Causes: Clogged lint trap or vent, weak heating element, or airflow blockage.

• Solution: Clean out the lint trap and check the entire vent line. Poor airflow is the #1 cause of long drying times.

• Possible Causes: Faulty door switch, broken start switch, or power issues.

• Solution: Check for tripped breakers and test door/start switches.

4. Dryer Makes Loud Noises

• Possible Causes: Worn drum rollers, idler pulley, or a loose blower wheel.

• Solution: Replace noisy or worn parts to restore quiet operation.

5. Dryer Shuts Off Too Soon

• Possible Causes: Faulty moisture sensor or control board issue.

• Solution: Moisture sensor may need cleaning or replacement; control board requires diagnostics.
