When the Washer Needs a Technician

  • Musty smell from a front-loader
  • Loud banging or rumbling on spin
  • Lid or door will not unlock

When the Dryer Needs a Technician

  • Dryer will not start when you press Start
  • Drum will not turn even though you hear a hum
  • Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs

Washer Problems Technicians See in Fort Washington

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.
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.

And on the Dryer Side

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.
Thermal fuse and thermostatsA thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that opens when the dryer overheats. A blown fuse usually points to a blocked vent, so a good technician replaces the fuse and finds out why it blew.

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

Washer & Dryer Repair Cost Ranges

Washer and dryer repairs vary more than people expect: a dryer belt is a small job, washer bearings are a big one. Published ranges:

Replacement makes more sense once a dryer is about 10 years old or past half its expected lifespan. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a dryer?

Ranges are published estimates, not quotes. See the dryer repair cost guide and how long dryers last.

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
  • How long the vent run is and where it exits the house

What Fort Washington Owners Should Know

Washer calls in Fort Washington most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.

Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.

Questions to Ask a Fort Washington Technician

  • Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
  • Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
  • Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?

Washer & Dryer Repair FAQs: Fort Washington, PA

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.
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.
What causes a washer to stop draining?
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.
