These six washer troubleshooting tips will help
you decide between a DIY washing machine repair
and calling in a professional. Learn what to look
for when it comes to washing machine repairs.

• Each year, the average American family does
  nearly 300 loads of laundry, which adds to a lot
  of wear and tear on your washer. Whereas you can
  repair certain appliances yourself, not all
  washing machine troubleshooting is that simple.
  You may need the assistance of a repair
  service to fix your equipment properly. Although
  hiring a professional to repair your washer will
  cost you money doing the job yourself when you
  are not completely sure of the problem may cost
  you even more. 
• Rather than going to the laundry mat or washing
  your clothes by hand, get the issue fixed as soon
  as possible. Look for these signs that you may
  need to call a professional.

The washer makes excessive noise.

• If you're hearing a ton of noise while washing
  your underwear, socks and other apparel, your
  washer may be off balance. Try rearranging the
  clothes so they're evenly dispersed. If, after
  several attempts, rearranging clothes is not
  successful, try moving the washer so it's level
  and as close to the floor as possible. If this
  doesn't help, your drum or motor mount may be
  loose. The fix itself is easy, but accessing the
  drum or mount is tricky. You may want to call a
  washer repair service.

Water doesn't fill the drum

• If the water isn't filling up, there are many
  possible causes, such as a kink in your hose, a
  delayed cycle selection or the hot and cold water
  faucets not being turned on. A clogged filter or
  a water intake valve may be to blame. When
  addressing these issues does not correct the
  problem, you may want to seek professional
  assistance.

The drum isn't turning.

• If the drum isn't spinning, try checking the
  belts and the lid switch. While the belt is
  fairly easy to replace, the lid switch is another
  story. This part requires a great deal of work to
  replace. If you're not completely sure how to do
  so, contact a professional.

Water remains in the drum.

• Once the laundry finishes its cycle, there should
  not be any remaining water. Check to see if
  clothing has tangled up and blocked the pump. You
  also may want to evaluate the drain hose for
  clogs. If these aren't the problem, the cause may
  be your water pump. Replacing a pump isn't a
  simple task and is best left to the professionals.

 The washing machine needs electrical work.

• This can be a washer problem, but you might not
  be able to tell if this is an issue by
  yourself. Any electrical work or wiring is best
  left to the pros. It's dangerous for a person who
  is not professionally trained to work on these
  issues. Plus, electrical or wiring malfunction
  can lead to significant damage.

• You don't know what's wrong.

• If you have absolutely no idea what's wrong with
  your washer, call an expert. The inner workings
  of your washer are composed of many intricate
  components. If you're not 100 percent sure what
  the problem is, you're likely wasting your time.
  An expert will determine the problem quickly and
  may save you money. Not to mention, you may make
  the problem worse.
