Reston notes
Washers in Reston homes
A Reston request listed on this page was a Samsung that filled and spun but then stopped midway and wouldn't finish spinning or draining. That pattern, where the cycle starts fine and quits later, often points to a slow drain. The washer can't reach spin speed with water left in the tub, so it pauses, retries and eventually gives up.
Clean the drain pump filter first. If it's clear, the pump, the drain hose or the door lock comes next, and sometimes the control board.
In older Reston townhouses the laundry is often in an upstairs closet or the basement, and some hookups have been redone more than once. Check that the drain hose isn't pushed deep into the standpipe or sealed into it. If it is, the washer can siphon water out while it fills.
Washers that walk or bang on spin usually need leveling or have worn suspension parts.

What washer problems do you fix in Reston?
Online washer repair requests from Reston have been for not spinning. 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.
Can I run a spin-only cycle to get the water out?
You can try. If the spin-only cycle also stops, the washer can't drain, and running it again won't help. Clean the drain pump filter with towels ready; if the water still won't drain, leave the machine off and book a visit.
Why is my washer filling and draining at the same time?
That usually means the drain hose is siphoning. If the hose goes too deep into the standpipe or is sealed into it, water flows out as fast as it comes in. Pull the hose up so only a few inches sit in the pipe, with an air gap around it.
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.
