Common Washing Machine Issues

Washing machines are prone to a variety of problems, including some that are obvious and others that may go unnoticed for extended periods. It’s important to recognize the warning signs of malfunctions so they can be addressed before more serious issues arise.

Common household washing machine problems include, but are not limited to:

Excessive noise or vibration
Water not draining from the drum
The machine not starting, or turning off during its cycle
The drum not spinning while the machine is running
Water pooling underneath the machine or leaking from the door on front-loading units

If you notice your washer is encountering one or more of these problems, it’s best to seek professional help. Left unrepaired, these issues could worsen and result in further complications such as flooding in your home or complete washing machine replacement. Our technicians are capable of fixing a plethora of washing machine problems, often without replacing the unit outright.
