Problems we diagnose

Common washing machine symptoms

A visible symptom identifies the place to begin. Model-specific testing determines whether the cause is a component, installation condition or utility connection.

Water stays in the drum

The drain filter, hose, pump and control commands are checked to separate a blockage from a failed component.

Washer will not spin

Door locks, lid switches, belts, motors, suspension and load-balance conditions can interrupt the spin cycle.

Machine shakes or walks

Leveling, suspension rods, shocks, bearings and installation clearances affect vibration.

No water or slow fill

Supply pressure, screens, inlet valves, hoses and pressure sensing are part of the fill diagnosis.

Door remains locked

A lock assembly, drain problem or control fault can keep a front-load washer from releasing the door.

Water leaks during a cycle

Hoses, pumps, door boots, dispensers and tub connections are inspected while the leak path is traced.

Professional appliance testing and diagnosis

Diagnosis before parts

A repair recommendation based on testing

We review the reported symptom, inspect the appliance and test the systems related to the failure. The result and estimate are explained before a repair is approved.

Detailed service guide

There is something particularly frustrating about a broken washing machine. Laundry has an urgency to it. Kids need clean clothes for school, work outfits run low, and that pile of towels is not going to wash itself. When your washer stops working, Alex Appliance Repair is ready to diagnose the problem and get your laundry routine back to normal.

We repair top-load and front-load washers from all major brands. Whether your washing machine will not drain, will not spin, leaks water, smells bad, or makes sounds it should not make, our technicians provide same-day diagnostics, clear pricing, and quality repairs.

What's Actually Broken? The Most Common Culprits

Most washer problems follow familiar patterns. The good news is that many of them are fixable without replacing the entire machine.

  • The drain system is clogged or broken. Your washer fills and agitates, but the water does not leave the tub. The cause may be a kinked drain hose, clogged filter, blocked pump intake, or failed drain pump.
  • The drum will not turn. If the washer fills but does not agitate or spin, the issue may be a worn belt, weak motor, failed transmission, or drive system problem.
  • Water is leaking everywhere. Leaks can come from a cracked door seal, failed inlet valve, worn pump seals, damaged hose, or a tub issue. Fast washer leak repair helps prevent floor and subfloor damage.
  • The washer is making strange noises. Grinding, squealing, thumping, or clicking can point to worn bearings, drum rollers, pulley problems, debris in the drum, or a motor under stress.
  • The washer smells bad. Musty odors often come from mold and mildew in seals, drain lines, or high-efficiency front-load systems. Professional cleaning and maintenance can solve and prevent the problem.

What Happens When You Call Us

We do not send someone who barely knows the difference between a top-loader and a front-loader. Our team understands how washing machines work and follows a clear diagnostic process.

  1. We ask the right questions. Is the washer not draining, not spinning, leaking, smelling, or stopping mid-cycle? These details matter.
  2. We arrive at a scheduled time. We respect your day and do not rely on vague all-day arrival windows.
  3. We test the washer carefully. We run cycles, listen for abnormal sounds, check water fill and drain behavior, and inspect key parts.
  4. We test components when needed. We check electrical connections, motor operation, pumps, hoses, belts, seals, and visible damage.
  5. We explain the repair clearly. You get simple language, honest pricing, and a repair plan before work begins.

Top-Loader vs Front-Loader Washer Repair

Top-loaders and front-loaders work differently, so they fail differently too. Top-loaders often have agitator, transmission, or lid switch issues. Front-loaders commonly have door seal, bearing, drum, and drainage problems. Our technicians service both styles and know how to approach each system correctly.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Washer?

If your washer is less than 6 years old, repair usually makes sense. If it is more than 8 years old and the repair costs more than 50% of a new unit, replacement may be worth considering. We will explain what we find, what the repair costs, and let you make the decision without pressure.

Washer Brands We Work On

We repair LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, Kenmore, Hotpoint, Candy, Bosch, Siemens, Miele, and other washing machine brands. Every brand has its quirks, common failures, and parts preferences, and experience helps us diagnose them faster.

Why Timing Matters

A broken washer is not something to ignore. Moisture can create odors and mold, failed components can damage other parts, and leaks can spread quickly. Same-day or next-day washer repair helps prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Frequently asked questions

Washer Repair questions

Why will my washer not drain?

A blocked filter or hose is common, but the pump, wiring, pressure sensor or control may also prevent draining.

Can an unbalanced washer be repaired?

Yes. Leveling and load issues are checked first, followed by suspension, shocks, bearings and structural components.

Do you service front-load and top-load washers?

Yes. Diagnosis is based on the model, design and reported symptom rather than the loading style alone.

What information helps before the appointment?

The model number, error code, cycle stage and whether water remains in the tub help prepare for the visit.
