Common Washer Issues & Tips


Washer Issues & Tips


1. Washer Not Draining
    •    Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs.
    •    Inspect the pump filter and clean out debris.
    •    Avoid overloading the washer, which can prevent proper draining.



2. Washer Not Spinning or Agitating
    •    Ensure the lid/door is closed properly.
    •    Check the drive belt (for belt-driven models).
    •    Make sure the load is balanced; uneven loads can prevent spinning.



3. Washer Leaking Water
    •    Inspect hoses for cracks or loose connections.
    •    Check the door seal/gasket for tears or debris.
    •    Avoid overfilling the washer.



4. Washer Making Loud or Unusual Noises
    •    Remove foreign objects from pockets or the drum.
    •    Check the drum bearings or agitator for wear.
    •    Ensure the washer is level on the floor.



5. Washer Not Starting
    •    Verify the washer is plugged in and the circuit is active.
    •    Check the lid switch or door lock—most washers won’t start if it’s faulty.
    •    Inspect the control settings and ensure the cycle is properly selected.
