WASHING MACHINE PROBLEMS

STRANGE NOISES

The most common type of washing machine repair is for loud sounds coming out of the machine. We is able to uncover the reason of the strange noise and decide if we will need to repair or replace the broken parts in the washing machine. The source of the noise is usually because of a worn-down pump motor or worn belt or bearings.

WILL NOT TURN ON

If your washer doesn’t turn on or agitate, check to see if it’s not plugged in or if a circuit breaker is flipped off. The problem could also be due to a broken latch, timer or thermal fuse. A washing machine that won’t turn on or agitate means the cogs, drive belt, coupler or transmission need immediate repair or replacement.

WILL NOT SPIN

A washing machine that doesn’t spin means there is something wrong with the door latch, wax motor or motor coupling. Astra Appliance Repair can fix these issues right away and have your washer spinning again very soon!

OVERFLOWS

The usual reasons for a washer overflowing is either the water inlet valve, water level pressure switch or the air dome tube on the machine.

WATER TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS

A malfunctioning temperature control switch or inlet hose is usually the reason why a washing machine doesn’t produce hot or cold water.

DRYER PROBLEMS

LOUD SOUNDS

The most common dryer problem is loud sounds coming from the appliance. Broken seals, bearings or worn-down belts can lead to strange sounds from clothes dryers.

WON’T HEAT

A dryer that won’t produce enough heat to dry clothing is not very helpful. The source of the issue is either a broken high-limit thermostat, heating element or cycling thermostat. These exact same parts can also cause a dryer to be too hot too. The technician will inspect the machine to determine the problem and solution.

WILL NOT TURN ON OR TUMBLE

When your dryer does not turn on, you first want to be positive the appliance is plugged in and all of the circuit breakers are on. If the machine is plugged in and still will not turn on or tumble, the heating element, high limit thermostat or cycling thermostat will likely need to be repaired or replaced.

WILL NOT TURN OFF

The exact opposite problem is if the dryer doesn’t shut off. The reason for this issue is usually either a broken door switch or timer.

TIMER WON’T ADVANCE

A dryer timer needs to advance in order to complete the cycle. When the timer will not advance, it might mean there’s a broken cycling thermostat or timer motor.
