Problems we fix most often

Washer won't drain

Water left in the drum usually means a clogged pump filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose, or a drain pump that has failed. Socks, coins and hair ties are the usual suspects.

Washer won't spin, or stops mid-cycle

Often a faulty lid or door lock, a worn drive belt or motor coupler, or a control fault. A badly off-balance load can also stop the spin on purpose.

Leaks under the washer

Front-loaders most often leak from a torn door seal. Top-loaders leak from hoses, the pump or the tub seal.

Dryer runs but won't heat

On electric dryers it's usually a burned-out heating element or a blown thermal fuse. On gas dryers, a failed igniter or gas valve coil. A clogged vent is often why the fuse blew in the first place, so we check that too.

Dryer takes forever, or squeals

Long drying times usually trace back to a lint-packed vent or a faulty moisture sensor. Squealing and thumping come from worn drum rollers, belts or idler pulleys.

Worth checking before you call

Quick, safe things that sometimes solve it. If they don't, we'll take it from there.

If you smell gas near a gas dryer, don't touch any switches. Leave the house and call your gas company or 911 from outside.

  • Clean the washer's pump filter. On most front-loaders it's behind a small door at the bottom front. Have towels ready.
  • Check that the drain hose isn't kinked behind the machine.
  • Empty the dryer's lint screen, and check that the vent flap outside opens when the dryer runs.
  • Electric dryers use a double breaker. If one half trips, the drum can turn while the heat stays off.

Questions about washer & dryer repair

Is a lint-clogged dryer vent dangerous?

Yes. Lint burns easily, and a blocked vent makes the dryer run hot. If a normal load needs more than one cycle, have the vent checked.

Should I repair or replace my washer?

Most washers last 10 to 13 years. Pumps, belts, lid switches, door locks and seals are usually worth repairing. A failed transmission or drum bearing on an older machine may not be, and we'll give you a straight answer.

Do you repair stacked washer-dryers?

Yes. Let us know when you book, since stacked units take a little longer to pull out safely.
