Common Washer Problems We Solve Daily

Most washer issues result from specific component wear. Our technicians carry genuine parts to resolve these frequent long-tail queries during our first visit:

• Washer Not Draining Water: This is frequently caused by a clogged drain pump or a kinked drain hose. We often find small items like coins, hairpins, or socks obstructing the pump’s impeller.

• Washing Machine Won’t Spin: Often points to a broken drive belt, a faulty lid switch assembly, or worn-out motor brushes. If the motor hums but the drum doesn’t move, a professional diagnostic is required to check the motor coupler or transmission.

• Leaking from the Bottom or Door: Front-load leaks are typically due to a torn door boot seal (bellows), while top-load leaks often stem from a cracked tub seal or a loose water inlet valve.

• Excessive Shaking or Banging Noises: Violent vibration during the spin cycle is often caused by worn shock absorbers or damaged suspension springs. We also check for unbalanced loads or unlevel flooring issues.

• Washer Not Filling or Overfilling: Usually indicates a faulty water inlet valve or a malfunctioning pressure switch that fails to signal when the tub is full.

• Clothes Coming Out Too Wet: If the spin cycle is too slow, it may be a sign of a failing control board or a clutch assembly issue preventing high-speed extraction.

Washer Brands Our Technicians Fix

Stove technology varies wildly between a high-end Bosch induction top and a classic GE coil range. Our team is factory-trained to use manufacturer-specific schematics to ensure a safe, long-lasting repair.

Popular Washer Brands Error Codes We Fix

When your washing machine stops mid-cycle and flashes a code, it is providing a critical diagnostic starting point. Our technicians use these manufacturer signals to quickly identify which genuine parts. If you encounter any of these error codes or any error code with your appliance for that matter, call us for a quick diagnosis and affordable repair!

Samsung Washer Error Codes

• 4E / 4C (Water Supply Error): This indicates that the washer is not detecting water entering the tub within a set timeframe. It often points to a clogged inlet filter or a faulty water inlet valve.
• 5E / 5C (Drainage Error): Your washer is struggling to remove water. This usually means the drain pump is obstructed by a small item or has suffered a mechanical failure.
• dc / dE (Door Error): The machine cannot initiate the spin cycle because it detects the door is not securely latched. This may require a door lock assembly replacement.

LG Washer Error Codes

• OE (Drain Error): Similar to Samsung’s 5E, this means the water hasn’t drained after 10 minutes. Our techs check for kinked hoses or pump motor failures.
• LE (Motor Error): This often signals a motor overload. It can be a simple heavy-load issue or a technical failure in the rotor position sensor (Hall sensor).
• UE (Unbalanced Error): The machine has detected an uneven load that could damage the drum suspension. If this happens every load, your shock absorbers likely need replacement.

Whirlpool & Maytag Washer Codes

• F05 / E02 (Water Temp Sensor): The control board is not receiving a signal from the thermistor. This prevents the machine from reaching the correct temperature for specific cycles.
• F21 (Long Drain): This warns that the drainage cycle is taking too long, putting unnecessary stress on the pump motor.
• Sud / Sd (Excess Suds): Excessive detergent has created a “suds lock,” preventing the pump from clearing water. Our team can inspect the pressure switch to ensure it hasn’t been damaged by the foam.
