Hockey gear still swimming in grey rinse water, a final spin that rattles the basement stairs or a door that holds your towels hostage? A local technician heads over, traces the fault and has laundry day moving again.
Front-loading or top-loading, a washer in this town usually gives up in one of six familiar ways. Each note lists where our testing starts.
A hair tie or loonie caught in the pump, a pump filter stuffed with lint or a drain motor simply worn out.
A drive belt riding off its pulley, a lid sensor stuck reading open or a motor controller losing strength.
Shock absorbers with no damping left, a spring that let go or levelling feet that have wandered.
A lock assembly jammed in the closed position, or leftover rinse water keeping the safety interlock on.
A torn door bellows, a fill valve with a hairline crack or a pump clamp creeping loose behind the front panel.
Detergent sludge packed into the drawer and bellows folds, along with murky water the drain never quite clears.
Washer types we service
From the brand that came with the house to the one you picked out last spring, these names show up on our work orders every week.
Newer washers tend to leave a short code behind when a cycle quits early. Look it up here and see what is worth trying first.
Hot and cold reversed
The cold inlet is getting very hot water because the fill lines were swapped. Reconnect blue to cold and red to hot.
Try this firstDoor not locked
The washer cannot tell that the door is shut and latched. Free any sleeve from the seal and push the door closed firmly.
Try this firstMotor error
The drive motor has gone silent on the board, or it answers with the wrong signal.
Call a technicianHeater error
The element that warms the wash water is not reaching temperature.
Call a technicianWater inlet error
The drum did not fill to the right level in time. Make sure the supply valves are wide open.
Try this firstUnbalanced load
The laundry has clumped in one spot. Spread it evenly around the drum and restart the spin.
Try this firstPressure sensor error
The part that measures how much water is in the tub is feeding the board wrong numbers.
Call a technicianLocked motor
The motor could not turn, often from a loose harness between the stator and the board.

Each load finished with the drum sloshing full. He opened up the pump, pulled out a toddler's mitten and had it draining by lunch. He also showed me the little filter door so I can check it myself.
Our top loader thumped so hard on spin it walked halfway to the furnace. New suspension rods and a quick levelling job, and now it's whisper quiet.
Every cycle ended with my scrubs locked inside. He replaced the door lock on the first visit and was out the door in under an hour.
Plenty of washer stoppages trace back to a valve, a lopsided load or a filter you can deal with yourself.
