5 Common Washing Machine Problems
Tuesday, August 13, 2019
Can you even begin to try to imagine your household without a functional washing machine? At some point, you may have gone through it?
Either during your college days or that one time your machine gave out and you ended up wasting your Saturday at the nearest Laundromat. It’s even harder to envision life without a operating washer once your family expands and you add kids into the mix.
So, as far as appliance repair goes, you can see why washing machines make the top of the list, at least in the homeowner’s mind, as a priority. That’s why it’s important to know about red flags to watch for and don’t ignore them.
If you even suspect you’re in need of repairs, give an expert a call. It’s much easier, as well as cost-effective, to deal with minor repairs before they develop into your washing machine breaking down completely.
Be on the Lookout for the Criminal Repairs
Being stuck with the need for washing machine repair services is never a picnic. So be watching out for these common repair signs, and call in a reputable expert, immediately.
- 1. Sure you’re washing machine probably makes noise, but is it too noisy? Like, noisier than usual? If it’s just a case of loose change or that extra noise you get from washing tennis shoes, that’s one thing. However, it could be an indication that the bearing need replaced, or something else. Don’t wait for the sound to get worse before getting it resolved.
- 2. What if it won’t fill with water? First, obviously, make sure the water supply hasn’t been shut off somehow. Also, make sure the hoses are connected, as they should be. Even if you didn’t touch either of these two components, you never know what could have happened, so better safe than sorry. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, it’s time to call in a repair person.
- 3. Maybe the water won’t drain. This is one of the messiest of annoying problems to arise. You’ll literally need to use a bucket to scoop out the clothing or try to remove the water, and then resolve the issue.
- 4. Clothing that isn’t clean or smells bad once it’s gone through the cycle could be a few things. For starters, try using something other than a low temperature, gentle cycle, or organic detergent. It’s important to figure out if the problem is the washer or the choices you make about how you use it. Otherwise, make sure you run a cleaning cycle, using the setting intended for self-cleaning the machine without clothing in it. If this doesn’t work, call in the pros.
- 5. If the drum stops turning, it’s something that an expert needs to figure out. The repairs can run from simple to complex, but should be determined by a professional you can trust.
