WASHING MACHINE PROBLEMS

STRANGE SOUNDS

A reoccurring type of washing machine repair is for loud sounds coming out of the appliance. We can troubleshoot the cause of the strange noise and determine if we need to repair or replace the broken appliance parts. The source of the sound is typically because of a broken pump motor or worn bearings or belt.

DOES NOT TURN ON

In the event your washer does not turn on, check to see if it’s unplugged or if a circuit breaker might have flipped off. The issue could also be due to a broken latch, thermal fuse or timer. A washing machine that will not agitate means the cogs, coupler, drive belt or transmission need immediate repair or need replacement.

DOESN’T SPIN

A washing machine that will not spin means there is a problem with the door latch, wax motor or motor coupling. BRAND will repair these issues right away and have your washer spinning again ASAP!

OVERFLOWING

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

WATER TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS

A broken temperature control switch or inlet hose is typically the reason a washing machine won’t produce hot or cold water.

DRYER PROBLEMS

LOUD SOUNDS

A very typical dryer issue is loud noises coming from the machine. Broken bearings, seals or worn-down belts will often lead to loud sounds from clothes dryers.

WILL NOT HEAT

A clothes dryer that will not create enough heat to dry clothes won’t be very helpful. The cause of the problem is either a broken high-limit thermostat, heating element or cycling thermostat. These same parts could cause a dryer to be too hot too. The repairman will inspect the dryer to determine the problem and solution.

WILL NOT TURN ON OR TUMBLE

If your dryer doesn’t turn on, you first will want to be positive the appliance is not unplugged and every one of the circuit breakers are flipped on. If the machine is plugged in and still won’t start 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 will not turn off. The cause of this problem is usually either a broken door switch or timer.

TIMER DOES NOT ADVANCE

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