But we will guide you through the issues you might be facing and how to deal with them on your own.
What do you need?
As everyone has become so accustomed and dependent on home appliances without these machines life becomes incredibly stressful. In case you don’t have any idea of what the problem may be, you can easily approach the professionals who can help fix the issue. It’s always best to leave the work to professionals as repair jobs can be very dangerous for those without experience. You also need the proper equipment, parts, and tools that are needed for the repair, which professionals always have on hand.
Fixing a washing machine that will not start:
If your washing machine is not turning on you can try these steps first before calling the professionals. Take a look:
Make sure the machine is plugged in:
The very first thing you need to do is check the main power supply. As silly as it sounds, make sure that your machine is plugged in.
Check the circuit breaker
If your machine is plugged in but still doesn’t turn on, you need to check the circuit breaker as it might not be getting any power.
Check the lid
The next step would be to check the lid of the washing machine. Checking the lid will let you know if there is a problem with your machine or if is it just the power supply.
Fixing a machine that doesn’t clean clothes
Before calling any experts see if the issue is easy enough to resolve yourself. Examine simple issues like, checking the current circuit, blockage system, out-of-place temperature, etc. These problems can be sorted out without any help, however calling the professionals is always your best choice. Do not take anything apart by yourself, faulty machines are dangerous as you don’t know how they will behave. Taking it apart can also make the problem worse, leading to a more expensive repair. It’s best to leave all the work to the experts.
Check for overloading
If the machine is overloaded, the clothes don’t get a chance to be washed properly. Make sure to check that the machine isn’t overpacked with clothes before starting any cycle.
Adjust the detergent
Make sure you’re adding enough detergent for your clothes load. Adjust according to how many clothes you have to wash, as adding less detergent and more clothes will leave the clothes dirty and smelly.
Wash pet products separately
We know you love your pet but do not wash your pet products with your own laundry. Always separate the loads and wash your animals’ products by themselves.
Fixing a washing machine that will not spin
There could be several reasons for why your machine is not spinning:
Redistribute the clothing
Try redistributing the clothes evenly. Imbalanced loads can cause the washing machine to stop spinning.
Make sure the machine is level
You need to make sure that your machine is perfectly leveled. An unbalanced machine will stop spinning for safety issues.
Ensure proper drainage
If your drainpipe of the machine is clogged, it will not drain properly. The machine will no longer spin again until it can properly drain.
Fixing a washing machine that makes loud noises
It’s normal for washing machines to make a certain amount of noise when running. However, loud banging or thumping noise made by the machine is what you should be concerned about:
Consider lubricating or replacing the tub bearings
Sometimes the bearings are all worn out which loosens the drum causing it to make loud noises when spinning. Call an expert to see if the bearings can be saved or if they need to be replaced.
Check the belts
Worn-out belts can also cause trouble because the drum won’t be able to move normally with damaged belts. Call an expert to find out how to resolve your issue.
Fixing a washing machine that will not agitate
If your machine is not agitating, then you should take a look at a few things:
Test the function of the cogs
Make sure that no cogs are missing or damaged. Call a professional in order to replace or fix them.
Reset the machine
Sometimes, resetting the machine can resolve the issue. You can try this out yourself. If the problem persists, call an expert.
Fixing a washing machine that fills up with water but doesn’t drain
When a washing machine fills up with water but doesn’t drain, there could be a block in the system. Here’s what you should take a look at:
Look for clogs
Check if there is debris in the drainpipes that could be blocking water flow, then clean the pipes out to make sure everything is gone.
Check the tube:
Take a closer look at the tube, if it is bent or damaged then it won’t drain, and your machine will stay filled with water. Call an expert to check if it can be repaired or needs to be replaced.
Fixing a washing machine that vibrates, shakes, or walks
It sounds strange but it happens. This is what you should do if your machine vibrates, shakes, or walks:
Ensure the machine is balanced
If your machine is not balanced, it will move a lot while running. So, make sure that you have properly balanced your machine before you start it.
Tighten any connection straps
Any loose connection straps can cause the machine to vibrate and shake. Make sure to check them and to tighten them if needed. You can always have a technician do this work for you.
Ensure the load is balanced
If the load in your machine is not balanced, the uneven weight will make the machine vibrate, shake, or even walk.
