Professional Washer Repair Service in Marin County

A broken washing machine can throw an entire household routine into chaos.

We have been servicing washing machines throughout Marin County since 2012, and our technician has the tools and experience to resolve virtually any washer problem during a single visit.

Common Washer Problems We Fix

From San Rafael and Novato to Sausalito and Fairfax, homeowners across Marin County call us with these washing machine problems every week:

• ✓
  Washer Not Spinning: If your washer fills and agitates but clothes come out soaking wet, the culprit is often a faulty lid switch (top-load), a worn drive belt, a defective motor coupler, or a failing control board. We accurately diagnose the exact cause so only the necessary part is replaced.
• ✓
  Washer Not Draining: Standing water left in the drum after a cycle usually means a clogged pump filter, a blocked or kinked drain hose, or a failed drain pump. Front-load washers have a coin trap filter at the bottom front that commonly becomes clogged with coins, lint, and debris.
• ✓
  Excessive Shaking and Vibration: A washer that shakes, bangs against walls, or walks across the floor during the spin cycle often has worn shock absorbers, unleveled feet, or a failing drum bearing. Persistent vibration can cause structural damage to your laundry room over time, so it is important to address it promptly.
• ✓
  Error Codes: Modern washers from LG, Samsung, Bosch, and other brands display specific error codes to identify faults. Our technician is trained to interpret these codes and address the underlying problem rather than simply clearing the code and hoping for the best.
• ✓
  Door or Lid Not Locking: A front-load washer whose door will not lock, or a top-load washer whose lid switch fails, will prevent the cycle from starting at all. This is one of the most common washer service calls we receive and is typically a quick repair.
• ✓
  Smelly Washer: Mildew and mold odors are especially common in front-load washers due to moisture trapped in the door boot seal and drum. We can thoroughly clean and inspect the drum assembly and recommend prevention strategies to keep your machine fresh.
• ✓
  Drum Not Agitating: If the washer runs but clothes are not being washed effectively, the agitator dogs (in top-load machines), a worn drive belt, or a faulty motor may be the cause.
