Repair Washers and Dryers That Stop Working

In-home washer and dryer repair in Spokane for units that won't start, drain, or finish a cycle.

When your washer won't drain or your dryer stops heating, laundry piles up fast. You start hauling loads to a laundromat or running the same cycle three times hoping something changes. In Spokane, where wet springs and long winters mean you're using these appliances constantly, a broken washer or dryer disrupts the whole household routine.

The service includes diagnosing motor issues, drum problems, belt failures, and control board malfunctions. You don't need to disconnect or move the appliance because the work is done right where the unit sits in your Spokane home.

How the Repair Restores Safe Operation

The technician starts by running a test cycle in your Spokane home to see how the appliance behaves under load. They check the drive belt, inspect the drain pump, test the heating element, and measure electrical continuity at the motor and timer. This process identifies whether the issue is mechanical, electrical, or related to a clogged component.

Once the repair is finished, your washer drains completely at the end of each cycle, your dryer heats evenly without overheating, and you stop hearing loud thumping or squealing during operation. Clothes come out clean and dry without needing multiple runs.

The service focuses on restoring efficient performance and safe operation, especially in family homes and multi-bedroom residences where laundry demand is high. It does not cover damage caused by overloading or using the wrong detergent, but the technician will explain what caused the failure and how to prevent it from happening again.

You're not the first to ask these

Most people calling about washer or dryer repair want to know what went wrong, whether it's fixable, and how soon they can start using the appliance again. Here are the questions that come up most often.

Why won't my washer drain at the end of a cycle?
Your washer won't drain when the pump is clogged, the drain hose is kinked, or the pump motor has failed. The technician clears blockages and tests the pump to see if it needs replacement.
What causes a dryer to stop heating?
A dryer stops heating when the heating element burns out, the thermal fuse blows, or the high-limit thermostat trips. The technician uses a multimeter to test each component and replace what's failed.
How long does washer or dryer repair take?
Most repairs take one to two hours once the technician arrives in Spokane. If a part isn't on the truck, they'll order it and return to finish the job as soon as it comes in.
Why does my dryer make a loud thumping noise?
A thumping noise usually means the drum rollers are worn out or the dryer belt is fraying. You may also hear it if something is stuck between the drum and the housing.
When should I repair my washer instead of replacing it?
You should repair if the washer is less than eight years old, the tub and frame are still solid, and the cost of fixing it is under half the price of a new unit. If multiple parts are failing or the appliance is very old, replacement makes more sense.
