Common Washer Symptoms

  • Washer fills slowly or not at all
  • Lid or door will not unlock

  • Dryer will not start when you press Start
  • Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs

Washer Problems Technicians See in Wilmette

Spin and suspensionHeavy shaking, walking across the floor or a drum that bangs during spin can mean worn suspension rods, shock absorbers or springs, or a load that is simply unbalanced.
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.
Bearings and tubA loud rumble or roar that rises with spin speed usually means drum bearings. It is the biggest washer repair, and a technician will talk through cost against replacement before starting it.

And on the Dryer Side

Heating elementElectric dryers heat with a coiled element. If the drum turns but the air stays cool, the element is checked for continuity along with the thermostats and fuses that feed it.
Gas supply and shutoffA gas dryer needs an open shutoff valve and a sound flexible connector. Technicians check the supply before the burner assembly, and leave connector replacement or line work to whoever your state allows to do gas work.

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

Washer & Dryer Repair FAQs: Wilmette, IL

Why won't my washer drain?
A clogged pump filter, a kinked drain hose or a failed drain pump are the usual causes. Front-loaders often have a filter you can reach behind a small panel at the bottom front.
Why do my clothes come out damp?
Restricted airflow is the most common cause: a full lint screen, a crushed or kinked duct, or a clogged exhaust hood outside. Overloading and a dirty moisture sensor are next. If the vent is clear and the dryer still runs long, a technician can test the heating parts.
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.
Why is my dryer running but not 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.
