A washer that won't drain or stops mid-cycle brings the laundry to a halt fast. Tell us what it's doing, standing water, banging, a drum that won't spin, and we'll get someone out today where the schedule allows.
Quick check
Water left standing at the end of a cycle?
Usually a clogged drain pump or a kinked hose.
Drum shaking or walking across the floor?
Often worn suspension springs, not something broken.
Machine stops partway through a cycle?
Usually a worn belt or a lid or door switch.
Open a symptom to see what usually causes it and how we track it down. If yours doesn't match, call anyway, most calls are one of these.
Equipment we cover
Common causes
How we fix it
We check the drain pump and hose first, since a blockage there is the most common reason water sits in the drum at the end of a cycle. If those are clear we test the lid or door switch and the control board to see whether the machine is actually being told to drain. We clear what's blocked and replace what's failed, then run a full cycle to confirm it drains completely before we leave.
Common causes
How we fix it
We run a spin cycle to feel exactly when and how the shaking happens, which usually points straight to the suspension or the level of the floor underneath. Worn springs or shocks get replaced as a set rather than one at a time, and we check the feet and floor before we leave. If the drum bearing has gone, we'll tell you plainly what that repair involves and what it costs before starting.
Common causes
How we fix it
We start by checking the door or lid switch, since a switch that isn't sensing the latch is the single most common reason a washer refuses to start or gives up mid-cycle. From there we inspect the belt for slipping or wear and test the motor and control board. Belts get replaced outright rather than tightened, since a stretched belt rarely holds for long once it starts slipping.
Common causes
How we fix it
We run a cycle and watch where the water actually appears first, since that tells us whether it's the door seal, a hose fitting, or the pump housing itself. Door boots get replaced rather than patched, hose fittings get reseated or swapped, and we check the detergent drawer isn't overflowing from using too much or the wrong type before we call it fixed.
Parts for these makes travel on the van, which is why most visits end in a finished repair rather than a second appointment.
Real jobs, real washers, from top-load agitators to stackable front-loaders, across Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Washer was leaving standing water after every cycle. Cleared the drain pump on the spot, no parts even needed.
Front-load machine was banging so hard at night I thought it would come off the pedestal. Suspension springs, replaced as a set.
Machine kept stopping halfway through the spin cycle for weeks. Belt had stretched out. Fixed in one visit.
Top-load washer leaking from underneath, turned out to be the pump housing. Told me the cost before touching anything.
Our stackable unit in the closet stopped starting altogether. Door switch, quick fix given how tight the space was.
Called about a high-efficiency top-loader that wouldn't drain. Knew exactly which pump to check first.
Old agitator machine, most places wanted to sell us a new one. He fixed the belt instead and it's fine.
Drum was walking clear across the laundry room floor. Turned out we'd never levelled it properly after moving in.
Fair diagnosis on a leaking door seal, replaced cleanly. Only reason it's four stars is the wait for the part to arrive.
Booked in the evening not expecting anything until the weekend. Someone called first thing and fixed the washer by noon.
Front loader had a musty smell we assumed was normal. Turned out to be a torn boot seal trapping water. Fixed and explained.
Washer wouldn't start at all, just clicked. Lid switch, sorted in under half an hour.
