Washer Repair FAQs

  • My washing machine won't spin or drain. What's the problem?

    This is a very common issue. It could be caused by a clog in the drain pump or hose, a faulty lid switch or door lock, a broken drive belt, or an issue with the motor or control board. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause.

  • Why is my washer leaking water?

    Water leaks can stem from a cracked or loose inlet hose, a faulty drain pump seal, a leaking tub, or a detergent dispenser blockage. Turn off the water supply to the washer immediately and call for service.

  • My washer is making a loud banging or strange noise during the spin cycle.

    Loud noises often indicate a problem with the tub suspension, worn-out bearings, or an object caught in the drum or pump. Do not continue to use the washer and schedule a repair as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Dryer Repair FAQs

  • My dryer runs but is not heating. What do I do?

    For an electric dryer, the issue is often a failed heating element, thermal fuse, or high-limit thermostat. For a gas dryer, it may be a faulty igniter or gas valve. These parts need professional replacement.

  • Why does my dryer stop running shortly after starting?

    This can be caused by a clogged or restricted dryer vent, which causes the machine to overheat and trip a thermal fuse, or it could be a control board malfunction or a motor issue. We highly recommend regular dryer vent cleaning to improve efficiency and prevent fire hazards.

  • My dryer won't tumble or turn on at all.

    Failure to tumble can be due to a broken drive belt or a motor failure. If the dryer won't turn on, it could be a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty door switch, or a control board problem.


Refrigerator Repair FAQs

  • My refrigerator is not cooling, but the light is on. What's the issue?

    Common causes include a malfunctioning condenser fan motor, evaporator fan motor, a sealed system leak, or a faulty start relay on the compressor. It's critical to call for service right away to save your food.

  • Why is there water leaking inside or under my refrigerator?

    The most frequent cause is a clogged or frozen defrost drain. It can also be a leak from the water line or a damaged drain pan.

  • My freezer is building up excessive frost. What does this mean?

    Excessive frost usually points to an issue with the defrost system, such as a bad defrost timer, a faulty defrost heater, or a non-sealing door gasket. This needs to be repaired to maintain efficient cooling.

  • My refrigerator is making strange noises.

    Depending on the noise, it could be the condenser fan hitting something, the evaporator fan malfunctioning, or a problem with the compressor. A professional can quickly identify the source of the noise.
