WASHING MACHINE PROBLEMS

STRANGE SOUNDS

The most common type of washer repair is for loud noises coming out of the appliance. Guthrie Appliance Repair can diagnose the source of the loud noise and determine whether we need to repair or replace the broken parts in the washing machine. The cause of the noise is often due to a broken motor or worn-out belt or bearings.

DOESN’T AGITATE

When your washer doesn’t agitate, first take a look to see if it is not plugged in or if a circuit breaker might have flipped off. The problem might also be from a broken door latch, timer or thermal fuse. A washing machine that doesn’t turn on or agitate means the agitator cogs, drive belt, coupler or transmission need repair or replacement.

DOESN’T SPIN

A washing machine that does not spin means there is an issue with the wax motor, door latch or motor coupling. We can fix these problems quickly and have your washing machine spinning again ASAP!

OVERFLOWING

The typical causes for a washing machine overflowing is either the water inlet valve, water level pressure switch or the air dome tube on the machine.

NO HOT OR COLD WATER

A malfunctioning temperature control switch or inlet hose is usually the reason why a washing machine will not produce cold or hot water.

DRYER PROBLEMS

LOUD SOUNDS

The most common dryer problem is strange sounds coming from the appliance. Broken seals, bearings or worn belts can lead to loud noises from dryers.

DOESN’T DRY

A dryer that doesn’t create enough heat to dry clothes isn’t very helpful. The cause of the problem is either a broken heating element, high limit thermostat or cycling thermostat. The same parts sometimes cause a dryer to be too hot too. The technician will inspect the dryer to uncover the issue and solution.

WILL NOT TURN ON OR TUMBLE

If your dryer won’t turn on, you will want to be sure the dryer is plugged in and every one of the circuit breakers are on. If the dryer is plugged in and still will not start or tumble, the high-limit thermostat, heating element or cycling thermostat will have to be repaired or replaced.

WILL NOT TURN OFF

The opposite problem happens when the dryer doesn’t turn off. The reason for this problem is usually either a broken door switch or timer.

TIMER WILL NOT ADVANCE

A dryer timer is required to advance in order to complete the drying cycle. If the timer will not advance, it might mean there’s a broken cycling thermostat or timer motor.
