How We Solve These Washer Issues
Leaking Water: Washer leaks can cause significant floor and cabinet damage if not repaired quickly. We inspect all water connections, hoses, the door boot seal, and inlet valve to locate and repair the leak.
Not Filling with Water: A washer that won't fill won't clean clothes. Usually a valve or pressure switch issue. We test the water inlet valve, clean inlet screens, and check the water level sensor to restore proper filling.
Door Won't Lock: Modern washers require a locked door to operate. A faulty latch prevents the cycle from starting. We replace the door lock assembly and check the associated wiring harness and control board signals.
