Before you call
Washer Checks Before You Call
These safe checks fix some washer problems on the spot.
- Clean the drain filterOn most front-loaders, a small door at the bottom front hides the filter.

- Check the hosesMake sure the drain hose isn't kinked and the water valves are open.
- Run a resetUnplug the washer for one minute to reset the controls.
Safety tip: Put a towel and shallow pan under the drain filter before opening it. Water will come out.

Questions and answers
Washer Repair Questions
Why won't my washer drain?
A clogged drain filter or pump is most common. A kinked hose or failed pump can also stop draining.
Why won't my washer spin?
An unbalanced load, a worn lid switch or door lock, a bad belt or a drain problem can all stop the spin.
Why does my front-load washer smell?
Water and soap stay in the door seal and drain filter. Clean them and leave the door open after each wash.
Can you repair stacked washers?
Yes. We repair stacked and compact washer-dryer units in place.
Is it worth repairing an 8-year-old washer?
Usually yes, unless the tub bearings or main board have failed.
