When we arrived, this washing machine was leaking everywhere! Not only that, but the agitator wasn't moving and we knew we needed to pay attention to the mechanics of this machine.
Many of our appliance repairs calls start out disastrous for the owner of the appliance. Whether a leaking appliance like a washer or dishwasher, or one that doesn't start, life gets mighty inconvenient when these machines break.
Washing machine repair calls can get pretty crazy. Fortunately, we are able to help customers by fixing their machines. This washing machine repair proved to be a little different than normal repairs, though.
When arrived at this home, the washer was disconnected. But there was major water pooling (I should have gotten a picture. Sorry!) When we checked the drum, we realized that the bearings were completely shot and a stay was stripped bare and couldn't hold the drum. It was wobbling all over the place!
This can be caused by faulty parts, overloading the washer too often, or having loads consistently uneven.
Regardless, we needed to remove the entire drum. Once that was out of the way, we replaced the bearings, gaskets and the strut. Then we made sure the balance and spindle were properly set so this machine wouldn't continue to malfunction.
We fixed the problems and replaced all the washing machine parts and now the washer works perfectly!
