Washer Problems Worth a Call

  • Washer will not spin or agitate
  • Loud banging or rumbling on spin
  • Water left in the drum after the cycle

Common Dryer Symptoms

  • Dryer shuts off a few minutes into the cycle
  • Drum turns but the air stays cool
  • Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs

What a Washer Repair Involves

Inlet valve and hosesWater enters through an electric inlet valve fed by hot and cold hoses. Slow fills, no fill or a washer that keeps filling point to the valve, a kinked hose or clogged inlet screens.
Motor, belt and couplerIf the washer fills and drains but will not agitate or spin, the drive motor, belt or motor coupler is tested. Some direct-drive washers have no belt at all.
Drain pump and filterA washer that will not drain or ends with standing water often has a clogged pump filter or a failed drain pump. Many front-loaders have a small access door for the filter; top-loaders usually need the cabinet opened.

And on the Dryer Side

Door switch and start circuitA dryer that does nothing when Start is pressed may have a failed door switch, start switch, fuse or control board. Checking power at the outlet comes first, since an electric dryer needs both legs of a 240-volt circuit to heat.
Airflow and the ventA long dry time is most often an airflow problem. A technician checks the lint screen housing, the duct behind the dryer and the exhaust hood outside before replacing any heating parts, because a restricted vent can make a healthy dryer look broken.

Most visits cover one machine; mention both if both are acting up. More: dryer not drying and dryer not spinning.

What to Have Ready

  • The washer's brand and model number
  • Whether it is a top-loader or front-loader
  • Whether it is a stacked pair or a laundry center
  • The brand, model and serial number from the label inside the door or on the back panel
  • Whether the dryer is gas or electric

Washer & Dryer Repair FAQs: Claymont, DE

Can a technician work on a stacked laundry pair?
Stacked pairs and one-piece laundry centers take more time to access, because the dryer may need to come off the washer or the unit pulled from a closet. Mention the setup when you book so the visit is planned correctly.
Do dryer repair companies fix washers too?
Most appliance repair companies that service dryers also repair washers, and many will look at both machines on one visit. Mention both when you book so the technician can bring the right parts.
What makes a dryer stop heating?
On an electric dryer the usual suspects are the heating element, a blown thermal fuse, a failed thermostat or a tripped breaker on one leg of the circuit. On a gas dryer, check that the gas is on, then the igniter and valve coils. A blocked vent can trip the safety fuse on both types, so it should be cleared first.
Is the helpline a manufacturer?
No. We are an independent directory and are not affiliated with any appliance manufacturer. Our helpline connects you with a participating independent technician. If your dryer is still under manufacturer coverage, contact the brand first.
