Other Washing Machine Issues
It is extremely frustrating when there is an issue with your door gasket. The main issue that occurs when it comes to the door seal is that it has ripped/is broken, or that it has developed mold.
If the seal is ripped or broken, it can cause water to leak out of your washer and will need to be replaced. Mold on the gasket is very unpleasant – nobody wants to put their laundry into an area with mold! However, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem as they can generally be cleaned easily. You can easily find how to properly clean a gasket online, or use the method below:
Clean the gasket: using a rag, use hot soapy water to wipe all areas of the gasket, including around and underneath.
Run a cleaning cycle: run a cycle on empty with no clothes inside the machine. Use the hot water setting and add either 1 cup of bleach or 1 cup of baking soda.
Repeat the cleaning cycle.
Washers are heavy-duty household appliances. However, it is common to experience some problems while using it from time to time. One common problem you may encounter is sometimes the water level in washer is low.
There are solutions you can apply by yourself at home if the cause is simple. Otherwise, you need to call a repair service. Avoid the hassle of piled up laundry by making sure your washer is in good working order.
It probably won’t come as a surprise if I tell you that this is one of the most common problems people face when they use their washing machine. And, it can be an expensive problem too! Leaks can lead to more costly repairs down the line and leave your clothes smelling like mildew.
Causes:
Faulty gaskets: The washer gasket is the rubber part of the appliance that keeps water from leaking out. When it breaks or gets worn, leaks can form. You might be able to fix this issue by simply taking the front cover off and tightening the bolts. However, if there is more damage, the gasket will have to be replaced.
Hose leak: the hoses are what connects the water to the machine. So, if the hoses are damaged, the water will leak out. As well, the internal hoses could be damaged, which would cause them to leak during the water cycle. Check your hoses for damage and ensure they are connected properly and tightly.
Issue with door sealing: if your door is not sealing properly, it will cause the water to leak out. Oftentimes they can’t close properly because there is something obstructing it from fully shutting, such as dirt, built up detergent, and other things. If the seal is damaged, it will simply need to be replaced.
Pressure switch: the pressure switch is responsible for monitoring the water level inside of a cycle. If this switch is not working, it can cause the washer to overflow and leak.
Nothing is worse than when you have a load of laundry ready to be washed, but then your washing machine won’t start! There are a number of different reasons this could be happening, but don’t worry, because we are here to get to the bottom of it.
Causes:
Drain hose is broken: if your drain hose is faulty, your machine may hum but won’t start. When the water can’t flow into the washer or drain out because of a broken hose, it is going to have a problem starting. In this case, you will need to replace the hose.
Water flow: If there is no problem with your house but there seems to be an issue with your machine filling with water, you may not have an efficient water flow. If there is not an efficient water flow, your machine will not be able to start. You can first check to see if the water taps for your machine are fully turned on and open. If the taps are turned properly, you may have a plumbing issue.
Issue with the pump: something may have blocked the pump such as a sock, or it could simply be damaged or broken. If the pump cannot work properly, the machine won’t be able to start. You will need professional help to get the pump checked safely.
Motor is broken: if there is a burning smell along with a humming sound when your machine won’t start, your motor may be burnt out. This is a serious issue and the motor will probably need to be replaced. It is wise to contact the professionals when it comes to motor issues.

There is nothing more annoying than soaking wet clothes and the damage that overflowing water can do to your home. There are many common causes of a washing machine overflowing. Make sure you get the issue fixed as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your home.
Causes:
Water pressure: If your water pressure is too low, the water inlet valve in your washing machine won’t be able to sense the water and signal the flow to stop when it is full. If the water is not signalled to shut off, the water will continue to flow and your washing machine will overflow. If you need to check your water pressure from your pipes to your washing machine, the pressure should be at a minimum of 20 PSI. If it is lower than 20 PSI, the water inlet valve will not be able to signal the stop of water flow to the machine.
Pressure switch is broken: the pressure switch is the mechanism that halts the flow of water into the inlet valve. If this pressure switch is broken, it will not be able to stop the water from flowing into the inlet valve, and the water will continue to flow into the machine until it overflows.
Water inlet valve is broken: as mentioned above, the water inlet valve is what delivers the water into the machine. If this is broken and cannot signal the flow of water to stop when it is at the desired level, the water will continue to flow into the machine and it will overflow. You can check to see if there is an issue with your water inlet valve by unplugging the washing machine while it is filling. If the water continues to flow into the machine while it is unplugged, your water inlet valve is broken and you will need to repair it asap.
When you’re trying to do your laundry but your washer door or lid will not open, that can seem like a problem. Don’t worry too much about it as there is probably a simple cause for your door locking and not opening. Whatever the problem may be, our experts are here to help you.
Causes:
Blocked locking mechanism: when your washer door is locked and won’t open, the answer could be as simple as something has been caught inside the locking mechanism. If you can see that something is blocking it, try to gently wiggle it out. Don’t use too much force as you could risk damaging the mechanism.
Broken door lock: if the door lock is broken, it could get jammed in the locked position and will not be able to open. Check your machine manual to see if your washer has a manual release mechanism or suggestions on how to deal with this issue.
Broken pressure switch: if the pressure switch is broken, it could cause your machine to think it is still full of water, and therefore won’t open the door. This issue should be a rather easy fix by simply unplugging your machine and letting it sit for a couple of minutes. If this is the problem, keep in mind that you will need to replace the pressure switch to avoid future problems.

Give us a call as soon as you notice a problem and we will send a technician to come take a look at your washing machine as soon as possible so that you can get back to washing your laundry as usual.
If you are smelling a burning smell coming from your washing machine, that is not something to take lightly as it can be a cause for concern. A burning smell can indicate a fire hazard, so you will want to get it checked as soon as possible for your safety.
Causes:
Belt friction: if the smell coming from your washing machine smells like burning rubber and your machine is not agitating or spinning, the issue could be caused by the belt. The belt could be rubbing against the washer tub, causing the burn smell. You can check the belt to see if there is any fraying or splitting. If this is the issue, the belt may need to be replaced.
Electrical: if the burning smell from your washing machine does not smell like burnt rubber, this could be an electrical issue. There is a possibility that there is water leaking onto the electrical components inside the machine, which could cause a shortage or sparking. You have to be very careful when it comes to electrical issues and will need to get this issue checked out professionally and safely.
Pump belt: some washing machine water pumps use a rubber belt. If this belt becomes damaged or is having issues, it could cause a burning smell to come from the drain area.
Motor pulley: your washing machine has a pulley that is in contact with the belts that connect the motor to the drum and the drains. Because it is always in contact with the belt, there will always be friction. This is not an issue, what is an issue is when the motor pulley becomes worn or jammed. This can cause too much friction, which then creates heat and a burning smell. Depending on the state of the pulley, it may need to be replaced.

Obstacle is jammed in the agitator: if something has jammed into your agitator, it simply will not agitate. You can easily check to see if something is jammed in the agitator by opening the lid to your washer and inspecting the agitator.
The lid switch is broken: when the lid of your washing machine is closed, there is a switch that indicates to the washer that it is good to start washing. If this switch is broken, the washer won’t know that it is good to go, so it will not agitate.
The drive belt is loose or broken: the motor of your washing machine drives the transmission using something called the drive belt. This belt could have become loose and slipped off or broke, in which case your washing machine will not run.
The transmission is faulty: the transmission is the part that transmits the power from the motor, which in turn spins the agitator. If this part is broken, your machine will not agitate.
The motor is broken: the motor is what allows the entire washing machine to run. So, if there is an issue with the motor, the machine will not be able to agitate or run.

My washer doesn’t drain properly. Why?
The most common reason why your washer won’t drain properly is a clogged drain pump or hose. What you can do in this situation is remove the hoses from the pump to unclog them. If the problem persists, call a washer repair technician to help you.
The most common cause of bad smells in your washing machine is bacteria or mold growing inside. To solve the problem, turn on a cycle with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda which will eliminate any mildew and bacteria growing inside. To prevent this from happening, limit the use of detergent and softener because soap residue is perfect for such bacteria growth.

How can I stop my laundry washer from moving?
First of all, you want to make sure the washer is placed on level ground. If the machine is not on level ground, the vibrations will make it move across the room. Another thing that can help is attaching some non-vibration pads to the bottom of the washer that will add some grip and reduce the shake.
The most common washer leakage comes from the door, in which case the problem is the door seal. If you find that your washer leaks water during the cycle, it might be best to call a washer repair professional who can easily diagnose and fix the problem.
Some cycles don’t work on my washer. Why?
Depending on the manufacturer, different washers have different cycle options. One of the most common problems with washer cycles is the hot wash. If there is a problem with your water heater, then you will not be able to get the hot wash cycle. If the heater is faulty, you are going to need a washer repair technician to replace it.
Why is my washer not turning on?
If you are dealing with a washer that is not turning on, it is likely because the lid switch is faulty, the start switch or timer is broken, the washer’s motor is not working, or the main control board is broken. Our experienced washer technicians can quickly repair any of these problems for you.
Should I use liquid or powdered detergent?
We certainly don’t lack choices when it comes to laundry detergent these days. Whether or not you will use powder or liquid detergent is a matter of your personal preference. When it comes to effectiveness, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. For example, powder detergent is more effective on oily stains while liquid detergent is more effective in lifting out every-day stains.
Why is my washer making squeaking noises?
The squeaking noise from your washer usually comes from the pump belt. Regular use can wear the belt down and make it frayed and cracked. This creates thumping and squealing noises during the cycle. A washer repair technician can easily replace the pump with a new one.
Why doesn’t my washer drain properly?
If your washer isn’t draining properly, it is because of a clogged hose or even a clogged pump. It can be pretty common for items to get stuck in your washer’s pumps or hoses.
What to do if my washer’s door won’t open?
In case the washer door won’t open at the end of the cycle, it is mainly because the lock system is faulty. Most washers have a manual release accessible from under the door lock, so you can try to open the door through that.
What should I be doing to maintain my washer?
Here are a few things you can do to keep your washer in good condition:
Check the water hoses. They will need to be changed if you see bulging, cracking, fraying, or leaks.
Keep some space between your washer and any walls.
Make sure your washer is level.
Clean your washer from time to time.
Prevent mildew and bad odours.
Don’t overload your washer.
