College Park notes
College Park washers, suds and leaks
An LG in a Silver Spring request leaked water and soap onto the floor. Suds on the floor often come from a torn door boot or a leaking pump, but too much detergent can do it alone, with the extra foam forcing its way out past the door seal or the dispenser.
Front-loaders and high-efficiency top-loaders need HE detergent, and only a little of it. In a shared house where everyone pours their own, it's easy to overdo, and the leftover residue feeds the musty smell in the door boot.
Leaving the door or lid open after the last load, wiping the boot dry now and then and running the cleaning cycle monthly usually help more than any additive.
For landlords, a leaking washer or one that won't spin can usually be diagnosed in a single visit, and we can schedule with the tenant and send the invoice to the owner.

What washer problems do you fix in College Park?
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.
Why is my washer leaking soapy water?
Too much detergent is a common cause, especially regular detergent in an HE machine. Run a rinse cycle with no detergent to clear the suds. If it still leaks with the right amount, the door boot, the pump or a hose is the likely source.
How do I get rid of the musty smell in my front-loader?
Clean the door boot, including the folds at the bottom, and the dispenser drawer. Run the cleaning cycle or a hot cycle with a washer cleaner, and leave the door open between loads. If the smell returns quickly, check that the drain filter is clean.
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.
