Common Problems Needing Washer Repair in Marin County
When it comes to services for washer repair in Marin County, we’ve seen just about every washer problem possible over the years. However, when residents come to us for washer repair in Marin County, there are a number of common problems that we see the vast majority of repair jobs we’re called to.
To help you better understand the problem that is likely afflicting your washer, we’ve prepared the below list of common washer problems. If you find this list useful, be sure to share it with your friends so they can educate themselves the next time they encounter a problem with their washer.
Washer Doesn’t Spin
If your washer isn’t spinning, first check to make sure you’re not under loading or overloading the washer. Just about every modern washer has sensors that prevent the unit from operating when the wrong load size is used, because damage can occur to the washer when improperly filled with too much or too little clothing. If your washer doesn’t spin after correcting the load size, give us a call and we can check it out and get it back up and running as soon as possible. If the drum isn’t turning at all, the problem could be related to a number of areas like worn brushes, a bad belt, a bad motor, or another issue.
Washer Doesn’t Drain Water
When people open their washer and find a ton of water at the end of the load, it can be an abnormal and troubling sight. If you really need to drain the washer immediately, you can pull out the drain hose and have it feed the water into a basin or tub of some sort. If your washer is in an area with a drain, such as an outdoor garage, you can simply feed the water into the drain. However, if you find that this is a recurring problem, you’ll definitely want to call us and have us fix the root of the problem.
Washer is Reporting a Fault Code
Fault codes appear on modern washing units with LEDs or other displays, but of course the average person doesn’t immediately know what they signify. Actually they don’t completely pinpoint the problem, but rather provide a general area of malfunction. Since these fault codes can’t tell you exactly which part to replace or fix, we strongly recommend calling us with the fault number and allowing one of our experienced, trained technicians use professionally developed diagnostic skills to find the exactly problem and solution.
Washer Door Will Not Open
If the door isn’t opening, first see if there’s still water in the washer. Many washers detect if water is still present inside the machine and will lock the door to prevent flooding or safety risks. If the door still remains locked after draining the water, you may need us to help you out to get it fixed. If you do attempt to open the door yourself, be careful not to pry it open in a way that can cause permanent damage, or else you’ll probably end up needing to call us anyway. One way to open a front-load door is to remove the top of the washer and pop open the latch for the door, but before attempting this make sure all electricity is off and the unit is unplugged.
While these are some of the most common problems that we find require washer repair in Marin County, the list certainly doesn’t end here. No matter what problem is afflicting your washer, you can trust us to get it fixed as quickly and professionally as possible. Give us a call today and we’ll send over a trained, knowledgeable technician to fix your unit and answer any questions you may have.
