Common Washing Machine Issues

Washing laundry is a duty that all homes have to deal with to keep clothes clean. Most of the time, it’s our task to wash our clothes, organize them by style and fabric, and maintain all looking decent.

In making things easier and faster, a washing machine helps us get all this through. That’s why once it’s not working as it did before, we take the job to turn into hand washing, which makes the task back to a hassle.

Sometimes, minor DIY repairs can remedy the situation. But, if you’re not adept at repairing washing machines or any appliance, you may escalate the problem. For this very reason, it’s only best to trust the experts.

Here are some signs that you really need some professional washing machine repair today:

Your Washing Machine Starts but Stops in Between

Whenever your machine repeatedly starts and stops throughout the washing, rinsing, and spinning cycles, it seems to be time to get it inspected. There are normal gaps when the system progresses from beginning to end, but it should not stop completely.

When your washing machine halts in the middle of a cycle or the middle of a cycle for a long time, it’s attempting to warn you that something is really wrong. Components can break down over time, such as sensors that don’t operate as much as they once did.

It’s better to schedule a professional for your washing machine repair if the machine keeps starting and ceasing during the washing process.

Your Washing Machine isn’t Starting at All

In doing laundry, you put the detergents in the washer after measuring it out. Then, shut the lid and hit the power on since a stack of clothes is in the right amount for the washer.

Hardly anything, though, occurs. You readjust the weight, double-check that the lid is secured, and attempt once more. Nothing else has changed.

Any washing machine that won’t start as it should have to be repaired by an expert. Consulting with those familiar with the machine’s technical components can help you figure out what’s wrong and fix it fast so that you can start your washing rolling again.

Your Washing Machine’s Spinning Cycle Isn’t Really Spinning

It’s a reason to worry whenever the spin cycle is really not spinning in any way. Hiring a washing machine repair technician with an expert who can detect the problem and also save both the washing machine and dryer’s lifetime could help you save money down the road.

Getting a pro to help get everything moving again when the moisture is escaping from its drum but your clothes aren’t even being rotated on a cycle as they should be, is a good idea. The spin cycle is necessary for completing the cleaning and washing processes, plus draining the excess water out from the drum.

Your Washing Machine Produces Grinding Sounds and Thumps

Once your machine thumps, bumps, or grinds, it’s an indication that it’s out of tune or even something more serious is wrong.

If there is a weird sound, like screeches, it’s probably time to have a qualified technician examine your washing machine. A grinding noise is particularly worrisome since it might indicate that internal mechanical parts have been removed.

Your Washing Machine Isn’t Completely Draining

When you open the lid just after washing, rinsing, and spinning phases and see soaking wet clothes, it’s now essential for upkeep. Call for professionals once the fluid in the washer doesn’t drain entirely after the very first operation.

Your Washing Machine has Code Errors Causing Unwanted Results

Several sensors are included in modern machines, such as front loaders and stacking machine components, to ensure that the work is done properly.

Once you attempt to start or retrieve your laundry, do you get code inaccuracies? Is there even an unusually large number of bubbles appearing in the frame?

In this instance, hiring a professional in washer repair is critical, since having one who understands how the sensor nodes function and interact will be crucial to resolving the problem.

Your Washing Machine Drum isn’t Filling with Water

It’s necessary to call a pro whenever your machine is really not collecting sufficient water or less water to immerse the clothes sufficiently to wash properly. It might be something from a meter to a technical malfunction if there’s not enough water getting into your washer.

A qualified technician can start your equipment and look for indicators of what is really causing the problem. A skilled washing machine service will assist to dispel the misconceptions and even get the machine fully up and running so you can get back on the right track.

The Takeaway

When anything unusual or out of the ordinary begins to occur with your washing machine, it seems to be time to seek help. A washing machine could be having problems with a component, a detector, or its engine.

A qualified specialist can assist you to figure out what’s going on. They will manage to extend the life of your washing machine and save money in the long term by catching problems early enough.

Washing Machine Maintenance Tips

Are you looking for tips to keep your washing machine in good shape (so that you never have to call us again)? Here are a few washing machine maintenance tips from our repair experts that will help extend the life of your washing machine for years to come:

• Inspect your washing machine’s hoses and fittings.

  The last thing you want is flooding in your home because of a damaged washing machine hose.

  Every few months, check for signs of cracking, bulging, fraying, or general wear and tear to your machine’s hoses or fittings. If there are any visible signs of damage, it’s best to repair the hose to avoid any future leaks.

  We would recommend the use of stainless steel hoses, as they are the most durable. If you want to be extra proactive, replace your hoses every three to five years.

• Position your washing machine properly.

  Make sure there’s at least 4 inches of space between your washing machine and your wall. This gives the hoses enough space not to bend or fray unnecessarily.

  Also ensure your washing machine is kept level so that it doesn’t vibrate or rock, which can damage either the floor or your machine. Many washing machine legs can be lowered or raised by rotating them clockwise or counterclockwise.

• Don’t overload your washing machine.

  While it is environmentally friendly and cost efficient to do larger laundry loads, make sure that you don’t overload your washing machine. Oversized loads are harder on your appliance, so be sure to follow your machine’s instructions on maximum load size.

• Use the right amount and type of detergent.

  Did you know some washing machines require different types of detergent? Read your washer’s manual to make sure you’re buying detergent that’s best-suited for your machine. High-efficiency washers in particular often require a low-sudsing detergent.

  Be sure to measure the correct amount of detergent too. You’ll find you often require less detergent than you think. Especially in the case of high-efficiency washing machines or top-loaders, using too much detergent can result in too many suds forming. This causes buildup in the drum or hoses—reducing the lifespan of your machine.

• Remove finished laundry loads immediately.

  Mildew forms when wet laundry is left sitting in the machine for an extended period of time. I’m sure we all recognize that unwanted musty odor of old laundry!

  Avoid leaving your laundry in the machine for longer than it needs to be. If your machine doesn’t have a chime or buzzer when it finishes and you’re prone to forgetting, set a timer for yourself on your phone or alarm clock.

  If you can’t toss your clothes in the dryer right away, at least open up the machine door. It’s also recommended that you leave the door open after a cycle to let air circulate in and out of the machine.

• Clean your washing machine once per month.

  It may sound ironic, but most long-term damage or musty smells are the result of a washing machine that hasn’t been washed in a long time. Detergent residue and build up of other debris occur after many wash cycles, which can cause an array of issues.

  We recommend cleaning your machine once a month by using 2 cups of white vinegar in the dispenser and 1 cup of baking soda directly in the drum (where you would place your clothes). Run the machine at the hottest possible temperature. To ensure maximum cleanliness, run the machine for an extra cycle.

  You should also clean the door deal and wipe down the exterior, including hoses, to avoid any damage to the outside of the machine.

• Regularly empty the washing machine’s drain pump.

  A clogged up drain pump can cause a variety of issues, including poor water drainage, loud vibrations, or longer cycle times. You’ll often find hair, loose fabric like socks or underwear, or other dirty particles clogging it up.

  To avoid any unwanted clogging issues, clean the drain pump once every few weeks. It’s typically accessible from behind a door at the bottom of your machine, at the front.

Washing Machine Repair FAQs

Here are the most common washing machine repair questions we receive from our clients:

• How do I stop my washing machine from shaking?

  A shaking washing machine can damage your floor and walls—and the machine itself. The most common reason for a shaking machine is that you’re running too large a laundry load size. If your machine shakes, try washing your laundry in smaller loads. You may also need to level your machine by adjusting the height of the feet. If the shaking problem persists, give us a call and we’ll repair your washer.

• What should I do if my washing machine is spinning too fast or making loud noises?

  A washing machine that’s spinning too fast or loudly grinding should be repaired immediately. If left unrepaired, your washing machine won’t wash clothes properly, can damage your clothes, or damage your floors and walls. If your washing machine is spinning too fast, give us a call and we’ll repair your machine ASAP.

• Why won’t my washing machine water get hot?

  If your washing machine isn’t getting the water hot enough, it’s normally not an issue with the machine, it’s an issue with your water system. This is because the water comes into the machine hot—your machine isn’t heating the water. If your machine’s water isn’t hot enough, call a plumber to get your water heater fixed.

• Why won’t my front-loading washing machine drain or spin?

  Front-load washers are more prone to draining or spinning issues than top-load washers. If your washing machine isn’t draining, it’s important to take action quickly before you end up with a flood or leak situation—because water damage is bad news. In most cases, the washer filter needs to be cleaned. In many units, the filter is accessible from a panel at the front. If you need help cleaning your filter, give us a call and we can help.

• Why is my washing machine making humming noises but not filling with water?

  If your newly installed washing machine is humming or spinning, but it’s not filling properly with water, there’s likely an issue with a pump. For anything involving water, it’s best to immediately contact a professional to avoid creating larger issues. Give us a call and we’ll fix your machine right away.
