Washer Issues: Top-Load and Front-Load

Washers stop working for many reasons. A top-load washer may not drain or spin, leaving wet clothes inside. A front-load washer might not fill with water, refuse to start, or leak from the door seal. Both types can vibrate so hard they walk across the laundry room floor.

During the visit, Colby checks the drain pump that empties the tub, the lid switch or door lock that tells the washer when to run, the belt and coupler that drive the drum, the motor itself, and the water inlet valves that fill the tub. He also looks at hoses for cracks or clogs.

Before calling, make sure the drain hose at the back of the washer is not kinked or plugged with lint. If the washer is leaking from underneath, check whether a hose connection is loose—you can tighten it by hand if it is.
