When the Washer Needs a Technician
- Musty smell from a front-loader
- Leaks under or behind the washer
- Water left in the drum after the cycle
Dryer Problems Worth a Call
- Cycles take two or three runs to finish
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle
- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs
How the Washer Side of the Call Works
And on the Dryer Side
Most visits cover one machine; mention both if both are acting up. More: dryer not drying and dryer not spinning.

Have These Handy
- 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
- What happens when you press Start (no response, hum, runs with no heat, stops early)
What Cincinnati Owners Should Know
Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW), which supplies Cincinnati, reports hardness of about 125 mg/L (7 gpg) from the Miller plant (Ohio River) and about 138 mg/L (8 gpg) from the Bolton plant (groundwater), per GCWW's annual report (moderately hard). Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair. Source: 2025 GCWW Water Quality Report - City of Cincinnati
