When it comes to laundry, the washer is one of the most important appliances. It can be frustrating when your clothes don't get clean or you start seeing rust stains on them after a few loads. If your washer is not working properly and you're getting an error message, or if the machine has stopped working altogether, it's time to call a professional who offers washer repair services. Washers can have many problems that require the services of qualified professionals from time to time. Here are some of them. 

Electric Issues

Many people have electric issues with their washing machines. It could be related to the power cord, wiring, or motor control box within the washer's unit. Your washer may also spin inconsistently or refuse to turn on. It's best to contact a professional if you experience any issues because it may be dangerous to fix them yourself. 

Washer technicians may give you quick solutions to some easy fixes. Some problems can be solved by unplugging and plugging back in the machines. Others, such as replacing wires going from the outlet to the appliance and fixing loose connections within the electrical panel, may require the services of a technician. 

Water Not Getting Into The Drum 

The causes for this problem include the buildup of soap scum and mineral deposits or an inlet valve that's stuck open or closed. When residue builds up on your washer's rubber gasket near the water outlet, it interferes with the inlet valve. A technician may recommend turning the water on and off a few times in succession to free it up. If it doesn't work, they have to physically remove the residue to enable the water to flow freely in and out of your machine again. They'll also diagnose the problem and replace any faulty parts.

Leaks

Over time, a washing machine can develop weak spots in the rubber seals designed to prevent water from leaking out of the drum and onto the floor. If you notice that your clothes are coming out wetter than usual or if they're regularly soaked with water on one side, it could be a sign that the sealant has worn off and needs replacement.

Rattling Noises Or Squealing Sounds

It's normal for a washer to make noise, but it shouldn't be excessively loud. If there are rattling noises or squealing sounds coming from the machine, something could be loose. It's also possible that the bearings within your washing machine have a problem. If that's the case, shut off power from the breaker box and call in an expert technician to inspect your machine. 

There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your washer. The good news is that you can enlist the services of a professional to fix your appliance.
