Lorton notes
Overfills and puddles: Lorton washers
The Kenmore job from Lorton shown below overfilled and leaked onto the floor, and the repair was a water-level pressure switch and a new inlet valve. The washer judges how much water to let in by reading air pressure in a small tube connected to the tub, so a clogged tube or a failed switch lets it keep filling.
There's a quick way to tell which part is at fault. If water creeps into the tub while the washer is switched off, the inlet valve isn't closing. If it overfills only during a cycle, the pressure switch or its tube is the more likely cause.
Another Lorton request was a puddle that appeared overnight with no obvious leak or clog. A slow drip like that often comes from the door boot on a front-loader, the drain pump, a tub seal or a hairline crack in a hose, and it can take a few cycles to show.
Upstairs laundry rooms, common in Lorton's newer houses, put a ceiling under every leak. A drain pan under the washer, piped to a drain where possible, buys time, and so does turning off the supply valves before you go away.

What washer problems do you fix in Lorton?
Online washer repair requests from Lorton have been for leaks. 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.
Water comes into my washer when it's turned off. Is that a problem?
It is. A valve that lets water through with the washer off can eventually overflow the tub. Turn off both supply valves behind the washer until the inlet valve is replaced.
How do I find where a washer leak is coming from?
Run a short cycle and watch. Water at the front points to the door boot or the dispenser, water at the back to the hoses or the drain connection, and water that appears only while it drains to the pump or its hoses.
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.
