Common Washer Problems We Fix
Most washer repair calls in Lebanon fall into one of these categories. Here's what typically causes each one.
Washer Won't Drain
Standing water after a cycle is usually a clogged pump filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose, or a drain pump that has failed. We check the filter and hose first since those are the easiest fix, then test the pump if the blockage isn't there.
Washer Won't Spin
A washer that fills and agitates but won't spin often points to a worn drive belt, a bad motor coupling, or a lid or door lock switch that isn't sensing the door as closed. Front-load and top-load machines fail differently here, so we check the model-specific part first.
Washer Is Leaking
Leaks usually come from a cracked supply hose, a worn door seal on a front-load machine, or a tub seal that has broken down over time. We run a test cycle to find exactly where the water is coming from before replacing anything.
Washer Is Loud or Shaking
Loud banging or heavy vibration during the spin cycle is commonly worn suspension springs or shocks, drum bearings that are wearing out, or an unbalanced load. We check the suspension system and bearings, not just the leveling feet.
Washer Won't Start
No power at all is often a bad door latch, a blown thermal fuse, or a control board problem. We test the electrical path first since replacing the wrong part on a washer that won't start is a common and expensive mistake.
Washer Won't Fill With Water
If the washer won't fill, the water inlet valve or the inlet screen is the usual culprit. Low water pressure to the house can cause the same symptom, so we check the house supply before assuming the part is bad.
Serving Lebanon, KY and Marion County
Lebanon is the seat of Marion County and home to around 6,500 people. The town got its start in 1814, and a lot of that history is still standing. The downtown business district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and homes near it tend to be older, which usually means older washers worth repairing instead of replacing.
Lebanon has grown too. The Diageo distillery that opened here in 2020 brought new construction and new neighborhoods along with it. Whether your washer is 20 years old in a house near downtown or two years old in a newer subdivision, we repair washers from all major manufacturers and carry the parts we need for the repairs we see most often.
