Most washing machine problems come down to a handful of parts: the drain pump, lid lock or door latch, drive belt, water inlet valve, and control board. Knowing the symptom usually points to the fix. Here are the seven we see most in Lawrenceville and what each takes.
The seven most common issues
- Won’t drain: clogged or failed drain pump
- Won’t spin: worn lid lock, belt or motor coupler
- Won’t start: door latch, lid switch or control board
- Won’t fill: bad water inlet valve or clogged screens
- Leaking: worn door gasket or loose hose
- Shaking hard: worn suspension or an unlevel machine
- Bad smell: mildew in the gasket and drum (front-load)
What you can check yourself
Make sure the machine is level, the drain hose is not kinked, and the load is balanced. Clean the drain pump filter (often behind a small front panel) and run a hot clean cycle for odor. If it still won’t drain, spin or start, the part needs replacing.
