Washing Machine Repair Service

This happens because the washer pushes a relatively high volume of water through a shared drain. If the drain is fully or partially blocked, it creates a vacuum, pushing air ahead to make the gurgling sound. If your sink gurgles when you do laundry, it's time to call in a local plumbing expert to inspect your drain. The drain is likely partially clogged and in need of service.

No. Washing machine repair is difficult, so do not tackle it yourself. Attempting DIY repair can also void your warranty. It’s easy to damage your machine further if you’re not an expert, so schedule service with Mr. Appliance to get the repair done right the first time.

Yes, it’s usually worth repairing a washing machine, but consider the age of the machine, repair costs, and the severity of the issue before making your decision. You can trust your local Mr. Appliance service professional to assess your current washer honestly and recommend repairs or a replacement.

The most common issue with washing machines is poor drainage, which can be caused by a clogged filter or a kinked hose. However, these issues can often be resolved quickly without requiring too much time or expense.

A few factors, such as cost, the age of the appliance, and the source of the leak, determine whether it's worth fixing. If you like your washing machine, a repair is usually the way to go. For example, leaks can be caused by one small malfunction that doesn’t necessitate replacing the whole appliance. Your local Mr. Appliance service professionals will identify the source of the leak and make a recommendation based on what they find.

Some washers can be fixed the same day, while some could take a few days to repair, depending on the issue and the availability of the parts needed.

Some washer problems are simple to fix, such as unclogging a drain or getting rid of leftover suds. Other problems are complicated, such as repairing the control panel or your washing machine no longer spins, which requires expertise to fix. In these cases, a DIY approach can cause more damage. You can always trust your local Mr. Appliance service professional to get your washer back in working order.

Currently, the national average lifespan for a properly maintained appliance is eight to twelve years. However, if you take good care of it, don't overload it, and give it the occasional maintenance check, your washing machine may last even longer. As with any hardworking appliance, its lifespan can also be shorter if it's doing extra heavy-duty work all the time with little or no maintenance.

Preventive maintenance for a washing machine includes regularly cleaning the detergent dispenser, checking and cleaning the drain pump filter, wiping down the door gasket on front-loaders to prevent mold, and regularly running a cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner. Ensuring the machine is level and not overloaded also contributes to its longevity and prevents premature wear.

Common signs that you need to call a washing machine repair service include the machine not spinning, not draining, making excessive noise, leaking water, or failing to start. You might also notice clothes coming out too wet, or the cycle not completing. Unusual smells, vibrations, or error codes on the display also indicate a potential problem that needs attention. Addressing these early can prevent further damage.

Leaks can originate from various points on a washing machine. Common causes include loose or damaged water inlet hoses, a clogged or damaged drain hose, or a cracked tub. The pump seal might be worn out, or the door seal/gasket on a front-loader could be torn or dirty. Overfilling due to a faulty water inlet valve or pressure switch can also lead to leaks.

If your washing machine is leaking water, you should:

1. Immediately disconnect the washer from the power supply to avoid the danger of introducing electricity to the leaking water.
2. Visually inspect the washing machine to see if you can identify the problem.
3. Do not tilt the machine or open panels, as attempts at a DIY fix can cause you to become injured and may void your warranty.
4. Clean up water as quickly as possible to avoid damaging your floors.

Contact a washing machine repair professional who can diagnose and fix your problem.

First, check if the machine is plugged in and if the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the door or lid is fully closed and latched, as safety mechanisms prevent operation otherwise. Verify the water supply is turned on. If these basics are covered, it could be a faulty timer, control board, or even a damaged power cord, all of which should be handled by a washing machine service professional.

When contacting a washing machine service, be prepared with your washing machine's brand, model number, and a detailed description of the problem. Mention any error codes displayed and the specific symptoms you're observing (e.g., "not spinning," "leaking from the bottom"). This information helps the service professional prepare for the visit.

To find your washing machine's brand and model number, look for a label or sticker on the appliance itself. Common locations include inside the door, on the door frame, on the back, or on the side near the bottom. The model number is typically a combination of letters and numbers, sometimes including characters such as dashes or slashes.
