A washing machine is a workhorse, tackling dirty laundry loads and keeping our clothes fresh. But how do you know when your washer needs a little attention? Here are some warning signs to watch out for:
Cleaning Catastrophes
- Clothes Aren’t Getting Clean
If your clothes are still coming out dirty, stained, or smelly after a wash cycle
- Excessive Residue
Soap residue left behind on your clothes
- Fabric Damage
Ripped, torn, or excessively wrinkled clothes after washing
Water Woes
- Leaking
Water pooling around the base of the washer
- Overflowing
An overflowing washer is a messy situation due to a faulty water inlet valve that won’t shut off properly, a clogged drain hose, or excessive suds from using too much detergent.
- Not Enough Water
If your clothes aren’t getting properly submerged during the wash cycle.
Sounds of Trouble
- Loud or Unusual Noises
Loud banging, grinding, or screeching noises could indicate a loose belt, worn-out drum bearing, or a foreign object stuck in the drum.
- Unusual Vibrations
Excessive shaking or vibrating during the spin cycle
Visual Inspection
- Mold or Mildew Growth
Mold and mildew growth around the washer door or inside the gasket
- Visible Damage
Cracks or tears on hoses and drain hoses
Ignoring these signs can lead to further machine wear and tear, potential water damage, and even costly repairs down the line. If you suspect your washing machine isn’t functioning properly, consult with us today!
