My washer shakes violently during the spin cycle. Is that repairable?

Often, yes. Possible causes include suspension components, leveling problems, load-related issues, or other mechanical problems. We assess the reported issue and test the components relevant to the problem before making a repair recommendation.

My washer will not drain. What usually causes that?

Possible causes include a clogged pump filter, drain pump problem, restricted drain hose, or another issue affecting the drain system. The assessment helps determine the appropriate repair recommendation.

Is it worth repairing an older washing machine?

It depends on the condition of the washer, the repair required, parts availability, and the repair price. We will provide the information and pricing you need so you can decide whether repair makes sense.

What to expect

1
Front-load and top-load washers, including high-efficiency models with electronic controls, are assessed carefully so the recommendation is based on testing rather than a guess.

If the washer is leaking, please shut off the water supply valves behind the machine before the appointment if you can do so safely.

Stacked units or washers in tight closets may take extra time to access. Mention the setup when you schedule.
