Common Washing Machine Problems We Fix
Washer Not Spinning
A washer that fills but will not spin usually has a worn drive belt, a broken motor coupling, or a failed lid switch on top loaders. Front loaders often trace back to a faulty door lock assembly or a burned out direct drive motor.
Water Sitting in the Drum After a Cycle
The drain pump is the first thing we check a kinked drain hose, a stuck coin or sock fragment inside the pump housing, or a failed pressure switch that can't sense water level.
Leaking Water on the Floor
Front load machines most often leak from a torn door boot seal or a cracked tub. Top load washers tend to leak from worn fill hoses, a damaged inlet valve, or a failing tub seal.
Machine Shaking, Walking, or Vibrating Hard
Excessive vibration during the spin cycle usually means the load is unbalanced, the leveling legs need adjusting, or the shock absorbers and suspension rods are worn out. On older top loaders, a worn clutch or damaged spin basket can also cause violent shaking.
Washer Will Not Start at All
Usually a blown thermal fuse, a defective control board, a failed timer, or a broken lid switch. Front load units often have a faulty door latch that doesn't send the lock signal.
Strange Noise During Wash or Spin
Grinding, squealing, or banging usually comes from worn tub bearings, a failing direct drive motor, or a loose drive belt slipping on the pulley.
Washer Not Filling With Water
Usually a clogged inlet screen, a failed pressure switch, a faulty temperature sensor, or a kinked fill hose. We check each part in order and replace only what actually broke.
Mildew Smell That Will Not Go Away
Front load washers are especially prone to mildew inside the door boot seal. Too much detergent, non-HE soap, or a closed door between loads traps moisture and creates odor.
What the Technician Actually Checks
Drum & Drive System
Tub, drum, agitator or impeller, drive belt, motor coupling, direct drive motor, transmission, clutch assembly, spin basket, tub bearings, shock absorbers, and suspension rods.
Water & Drainage System
Water inlet valve, fill hoses, drain pump, drain hose, pressure switch (water level sensor), temperature sensor, and door boot seal or tub seal.
Electrical & Control System

Washer Brands We Repair Across the Valley
Whirlpool
The brand we see most often. Direct drive top loaders commonly develop motor coupling and clutch failures after 5 to 8 years.
LG
Inverter direct drive motors use a different diagnostic process frequently stator and rotor position sensor failures that throw error codes general techs can't decode.
Samsung
Popular across the valley. Common calls involve door lock assembly failures, spider arm cracks behind the drum, and control board shorts.
Maytag
Heavy duty transmission issues on top load models and tub bearing failures on commercial grade front loaders.
Hard Water and Your Washing Machine
Salt Lake City water is among the hardest in the state. Mineral buildup coats water inlet valves, clogs inlet screens, and leaves residue on the drum and tub seal that contributes to mildew. Hard water also reduces detergent effectiveness too much soap overwhelms the drain pump and leaves film on clothing.
- HE detergent, no more than 2 tablespoons per load, works best in high mineral water
- White residue on dark clothes signals hard water damage building up
- Washer and dryer repair happen in one visit when both need service
