Your washer fills with water but doesn't spin or agitate. This is often caused by a faulty lid switch, broken belt, or worn motor coupler that prevents the drum from rotating properly. Water pooling around your washer can indicate damaged door seals, loose hose connections, or a cracked pump. Left unaddressed, leaks can cause water damage to your floors and surrounding areas. Clothes remain soaking wet after the cycle completes. This issue typically stems from a clogged drain pump, blocked filter, or faulty drain hose that prevents water from exiting the machine. Loud banging, grinding, or shaking during the spin cycle indicates worn drum bearings, unbalanced loads, or loose components. These issues can worsen over time and damage other parts if ignored. Washer shows no signs of life when you press the start button. Common causes include tripped circuit breakers, faulty door latches, broken control boards, or electrical connection issues requiring professional diagnosis. The door remains stuck open or closed, preventing cycle operation. This safety feature malfunction usually involves a broken door latch mechanism, faulty lock assembly, or control board error that needs expert attention.

Extend the life of your washer and prevent costly repairs with these simple maintenance practices
Remove lint, coins, and debris from your washer's filter every month. A clogged filter reduces efficiency and can lead to drainage problems. Most front-load washers have an accessible filter panel at the bottom front. High-efficiency washers need HE detergent in small amounts. Too much soap creates excessive suds that can damage components and leave residue. Follow manufacturer guidelines - typically just 2 tablespoons for HE machines. Prevent mold, mildew, and odors by allowing your washer drum and door seal to dry completely. Leave the door or lid open for several hours after each use, especially important for front-load washers. Overloading strains the motor, drum bearings, and suspension system. Fill the drum only 3/4 full to allow proper water circulation and agitation. Heavy loads also cause excess vibration that can damage components over time. Check water supply hoses every 6 months for cracks, bulges, or brittleness. Replace hoses every 3-5 years even if they look fine - internal deterioration isn't always visible. Use stainless steel braided hoses for maximum durability. If you notice any of these signs, call Steve's Appliance Service at (619) 772-7213 for prompt repair.

We repair all major washer brands including Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Samsung, LG, Speed Queen, Electrolux, Kenmore, Frigidaire, Bosch, and many others. Our technicians have over 10 years of experience working with both top-load and front-load washers from all manufacturers. We stay up-to-date with the latest training on new models and technology, and we stock common replacement parts for quick repairs.

Most washer repairs take between 30 to 90 minutes to complete once our technician arrives and diagnoses the issue. Simple repairs like replacing a door latch, lid switch, or drain hose can be done in 30-45 minutes. More involved repairs such as replacing a pump, motor, or control board typically take 60-90 minutes. In rare cases where we need to order a specialized part, we'll complete the diagnostic, provide you with a quote, and return to finish the repair once the part arrives. We carry a well-stocked service vehicle with the most common washer parts to minimize delays.
Whether to repair or replace depends on several factors. Generally, if your washer is less than 8 years old and the repair costs less than 50% of a new machine, repair is the better choice. For a $300 repair on a 5-year-old washer, repair makes sense since a comparable new model costs $800-$1,200. However, if your washer is over 10 years old, has had multiple repairs, or needs a major component like drum bearings that costs $350+, replacement might be more economical. High-quality brands like Whirlpool, Maytag, and Speed Queen are often worth repairing even at 10-12 years old. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and recommendation based on your specific situation - we never push unnecessary repairs.
