WASHING MACHINE PROBLEMS

STRANGE NOISES

The most reoccurring type of washer repair is for strange sounds coming out of the machine. We knows how to diagnose the reason of the strange sound and decide whether we should repair or replace the broken parts. The cause of the sound is often due to a worn-down pump motor or worn-out belt or bearings.

WILL NOT AGITATE

If your washer doesn’t agitate or turn on, first check to see if it is unplugged or if a circuit breaker is flipped off. The problem could also be due to a broken latch, thermal fuse or timer. A washer that does not turn on or agitate means the agitator cogs, coupler, drive belt or the transmission need immediate repair or need replacement.

DOES NOT SPIN

A washer that does not spin means there’s something wrong with the wax motor, door latch or motor coupling. BRAND can fix these problems fast and have your washing machine spinning again ASAP!

OVERFLOWS

The usual reasons for a washing machine overflowing is the water inlet valve, water level pressure switch or the air dome tube on the appliance.

WATER TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS

A broken temperature control switch or inlet hose is typically the reason why a washer does not produce hot or cold water.

DRYER PROBLEMS

STRANGE NOISES

A very common dryer problem is strange sounds coming from the appliance. Broken seals, bearings or worn belts often lead to strange noises from clothes dryers.

WILL NOT HEAT

A clothes dryer that won’t create enough heat to dry clothing is not very useful. The cause of the issue is likely a broken heating element, high limit thermostat or cycling thermostat. These exact same parts sometimes cause a dryer to be too hot too. The repairman will troubleshoot the machine to determine the issue and solution.

WILL NOT TURN ON OR TUMBLE

If your dryer won’t turn on, you will want to be positive the appliance is not unplugged and that every one of the circuit breakers are flipped on. If the appliance is plugged in and still won’t turn on or tumble, the high-limit thermostat, heating element or cycling thermostat will have to be repaired or replaced.

WILL NOT SHUT OFF

The opposite issue is if the dryer doesn’t shut off. The cause of this problem is usually either a broken door switch or timer.

TIMER DOES NOT ADVANCE

A dryer timer must advance in order to complete the cycle. When the timer does not advance, it could mean there’s a broken cycling thermostat or timer motor.
