Washer & Dryer Issues and Solutions

When either your washer or dryer stops working, the hassle of trips to the laundromat, the mountains of unwashed clothes, the process of replacing the appliance, is just not worth it when you can simply repair it.

Here are 3 common washer & dryer issues and Legacy Appliance Services’ Tips on how to address them:

1. Washer/Dryer Won’t Turn ON

Potential Causes:

• Issue with the power supply

• Faulty door switch, thermal fuse, thermostat, or start switch

Potential Solutions:

• Check outlet and electrical panel

For this issue, unless you are an electrician yourself, we would recommend calling us at 954-466-5691 to help you better diagnose the issue or to request one of our repair professionals.

1. Washer Won’t Drain Properly

Potential Causes:

• Clogged drain hose / faulty drain pump

• Excessive detergent usage

Potential Solutions:

• Unclogging a drain hose or repairing a drain pump is a job best left for a repairman

• If you suspect the cause to be excessive detergent usage, try reducing the amount of detergent you put for a few cycles and see if that fixes the problem

1. Dryer is On, but Doesn’t Tumble

Potential Cause:

• Worn/Broken Belt, seized motor, worn drum support rollers

Potential Solution:

• Call one of our repair professionals to diagnose the issue and replace the damaged/worn parts
