Common Causes Of Washer And Dryer Problems
Washers and dryers are everything for people in the United States, but like any other machine, they can experience problems from time to time.
Some of the most common causes of washer and dryer problems can include the following:
- Not washing or drying well: Often, on high-efficiency machines, overloading is a problem. Putting too many items in the washer, especially a high-efficiency washer, can cause the clothes to not get washed at all. If the clothes can’t tumble in a high-efficiency machine, the soap can’t work correctly. If the load is too big in an agitator model, the agitator can’t move the clothes around and, again, it can’t work correctly. Both types of machines will have balancing issues and the machine may just stop in the middle of a cycle because it can’t balance itself. Overloading a dryer doesn’t allow enough air to penetrate the clothes on all sides. This decreased air flow will cause the element to heat too quickly and be shut off by the thermostat over and over. this not only wears out the thermostat, it takes forever to dry your clothes. Additionally, the blower motor won’t be able to push all the lint completely out of the house.
- Water level issues: The water inlet valves control hot and cold water flow into the machine in washers. If any of them malfunction, you might experience leaks, slow fill times or no water at all entering the washer. Most models today use a pressure sensor to detect water levels. If you use too much soap, those suds can get into the sensors tube and create pressure abnormalities that the sensor will eventually give up on and stop the washer. If you run an empty cycle and you see suds during agitation, you’re using too much soap.
- Drainage Problems:Clogged or improperly installed drain hoses can prevent the water from draining out of the washing machine effectively. Drain pumps can fail or get change, or small pieces of clothing stuck in them. Even that pressure sensor can stop your machine if it can’t detect the correct water level when trying to drain.
- Drying problems: Aside from a no heat issue which is usually an element, thermostat, or fuse, if you are getting heat, but clothes are not dry at the end of the cycle using any mode other than “timed”, you may have dirty humidity sensors. Using fabric softener and dryer sheets deposits a light waxy film on your clothes covering the tips of the fabric strands, making you think your clothes are soft. That same waxy film gets deposited on the humidity sensors and reduces or eliminates the ability to detect moisture in the clothes, and then shuts off the dryer prematurely. You can clean the sensors with rubbing alcohol, switch to a timed dry, or stop using fabric softener and dryer sheets.
- The dryer won’t start: This can often be a broken drive belt, or on the simpler models, the start button. There is a drive belt safety switch that activates when a belt breaks on most models. It keeps the dryer from turning on the heating element if the drum cannot turn. A failed door switch can also keep your dryer from starting. There are, of course, other reasons a dryer won’t start, but these are the most common.
Proper usage can prevent some of these issues. But if you encounter problems beyond your ability to troubleshoot, it’s best to consult the pros at Robs Appliance Plus for help and assistance. Schedule service now or service call us at (615) 766-4485.

FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions.
Should I repair or replace my malfunctioning washer or dryer?
It depends on factors like age, repair cost, and overall condition. If the repair cost starts adding up close to the cost of a new appliance, maybe replacement is a better option. If it’s fairly old, and needing repairs, chances are that more repairs will be needed in a short time. Maybe replacing is your best option.
How much does washer or dryer repair typically cost?
Repair costs can vary widely depending on the specific problem. The average range is between $200 and $300, including any necessary parts. If it’s a motor, transmission, gear case, or tub, the price can easily exceed the cost of a new appliance.
How long does washer or dryer repair usually take?
The repair duration can vary based on the issue and availability of parts. Repairs are usually completed within an hour to a few hours if the parts are on hand.
Can a washer or dryer be repaired if not under warranty?
Yes, we can repair appliances regardless of their warranty status. You can hire us as your repair technician and appliance repair company for this matter. We do work with a few third party warranty companies, but we do not do manufacturer warranty work. If you’re interested why, just ask. It’s a long answer.
Can a repair technician provide an estimate before starting the repair?
Usually. Our repair technicians can provide a cost estimate after diagnosing the problem. Sometimes we may need to replace something like a control board before other issues pop up. It doesn’t happen often, but if it’s a possibility, we will let you know and go over your options. Requesting an estimate and inquiring about any additional charges before proceeding with the repair is always advisable.
Do you fix other appliances besides the washer and dryer?
Yes, we offer appliance repair and installation services for all kitchen and laundry appliances.
