Fairfax City notes
Washers in Fairfax townhouses and split-levels
Where your washer sits changes what a leak costs you. In the split-levels and ramblers around Fairchester Woods and Country Club Hills, laundry is usually on the lowest level, often on a concrete floor near a floor drain. In the townhouse communities, the washer is often upstairs in a hall closet, right over a finished ceiling. If yours is upstairs and there's no drain pan, put one in after the repair.
Leaks have a few usual sources. A torn door boot on a front-loader drips at the front. A leaking pump or loose hose shows up under the middle of the machine. Supply hoses that are more than five or six years old are worth replacing whether they leak or not, ideally with braided steel.
Washers that won't spin are often unbalanced. Front-loaders stop and retry when a load is lopsided, and a single bath mat or a pair of jeans can do it. Run an empty spin. If it spins fine empty, it's the load, not the washer.
If the washer stops with water in the drum, the drain pump filter is the first thing to check. Most front-loaders have it behind a small door at the bottom front. Put towels down, because a full drum empties through that opening.

My upstairs washer in a Fairfax townhouse leaked through the ceiling. What now?
Turn off the water supply valves behind the washer and leave the machine unplugged. We'll find the source: door boot, pump, hose or tub seal. After the repair, a drain pan with a drain line or a leak sensor is a good idea for any washer above a finished room.
Should I replace my washer hoses?
If they're the original rubber hoses and more than five or six years old, yes. They fail without warning. Braided stainless hoses are cheap and last longer. Turn the valves off before swapping them, and make sure the new washers inside the fittings are seated.
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.
