Washer repair in Huntersville homes and townhomes
Most Huntersville homes are newer two-story houses, and many of them put the laundry room upstairs. That is convenient on laundry day and risky when a washer leaks, because the ceiling below is the first thing to show it.
We repair top-load and front-load washers across Huntersville. Here is what we look at in Huntersville homes.
Upstairs washers and leak damage
A washer upstairs needs a drain pan with a drain line, good fill hoses and a drain hose that is secured in the standpipe. If you see water stains on the ceiling under the laundry room, turn off the washer's water valves and stop using it until it is checked.
Rubber fill hoses wear out with age. Braided stainless hoses last longer and are a small change that protects the floor below.
Front-load washers
High-efficiency front-loaders are common in Huntersville. They use less water, which also means detergent and lint build up faster in the door boot, the drain pump filter and the drum. Use HE detergent, measure it, and clean the pump filter now and then.
Stacked washers in townhomes
Townhomes near Birkdale Village and along the main roads often have stacked laundry pairs in a closet. Tell us it is stacked when you book, because the repair may mean separating the dryer from the washer to reach the part.
Washer repair in Huntersville: questions
My front-load washer smells. Is something broken?
Usually not. Odor comes from residue in the door boot, the pump filter and the drum. Run a cleaning cycle and dry the boot after loads. If it still smells or drains slowly, a clogged pump or drain may be the cause.
My washer will not spin. What should I check?
Make sure the lid or door locks, the load is not too small or too lopsided, and the water drained. If it still will not spin, the lid lock, the drain pump or the drive parts may have failed.
I rent a townhome in Huntersville. Can I book?
Yes. Look at your lease before you call, because the owner of a rented townhome is often the one who arranges and pays for appliance repairs. Landlords can book with us for their tenants.
