Annandale notes
Washers in Annandale homes
An Annandale request listed on this page was a Samsung front-loader that wouldn't drain even though the filter was clear, and its door gasket also needed replacing. When the filter is clean and the water still won't leave, the drain pump itself may have failed, or there's a blockage further along, in the pump housing, the hose or the standpipe.
A sock or other small item can lodge in the hose between the tub and the pump before it ever reaches the filter. It's a common hiding place, and clearing it is a quick job once the washer is opened.
Older direct-drive top-loaders still turn up in Annandale basements. Their motor couplers, pumps and lid switches are inexpensive and usually easy to replace, which makes them worth keeping.
Torn door gaskets on front-loaders leak at the bottom front and trap odors. Replacing one takes a little while, since the clamps have to come off, but it's a routine part.

What washer problems do you fix in Annandale?
Online washer repair requests from Annandale have been for not draining. Common calls include washer not draining, washer not spinning, leaking washer, shaking or vibration, door lock failure and error codes. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
My front-loader won't drain but the filter is clean. What's next?
The drain pump may have failed, or something is stuck in the hose between the tub and the pump. Listen during the drain: a hum with no water moving suggests a jam or a failed pump. The Annandale Samsung request we list had exactly this.
Is an old direct-drive Whirlpool or Kenmore washer worth fixing?
Usually. Those machines are simple, and parts like the motor coupler, the pump and the lid switch are inexpensive. If the transmission or the tub has failed, replacement may make more sense.
Should I try to fix the washer myself first?
Safe checks first: make sure the machine sits level, the drain hose is not kinked, and the last load was not one heavy item wrapped to a side. Past that, suspension, bearings and control boards call for a technician - forcing a stuck drum usually makes things worse.
