When Your Washer Won't Cooperate
A broken washing machine isn't just an inconvenience—it's a household emergency. Whether you're dealing with a washer that won't drain, refuses to spin, or has developed a mysterious leak, every day without it means mounting laundry and mounting stress.

What Causes These Issues?
Understanding why your washer is misbehaving helps us fix it faster. Here's what typically goes wrong:
Drainage problems usually trace back to a clogged pump filter, kinked drain hose, or a failing drain pump motor. Sometimes it's simply too many suds from using the wrong detergent in an HE machine.
Spin cycle failures often involve a worn drive belt, faulty motor coupling, or a lid switch that thinks the door is open when it's not. Front-loaders may have issues with the door latch or control board.
Leaks can come from anywhere—damaged door seals, loose hose connections, a cracked tub, or a failing water inlet valve. The location of the leak tells us a lot about the cause.
Strange noises typically mean worn bearings, a loose drum, or something stuck in the pump. That grinding, thumping, or squealing isn't normal—and it usually gets worse over time.
Our Diagnostic Process
We don't guess. We diagnose. When our technician arrives at your Hamilton home, here's what happens:
- Listen to you: What symptoms have you noticed? When did it start? Any error codes? Your observations help us narrow things down.
- Visual inspection: We check for obvious issues—leaks, loose connections, visible damage, error codes on the display.
- Component testing: Using professional diagnostic tools, we test the motor, pump, control board, sensors, and other components to identify the root cause.
- Clear explanation: Before any wrench turns, we explain exactly what's wrong, what it takes to fix it, and how much it will cost. No surprises.
What Happens During a Service Visit
We respect your home and your time. Our technicians wear shoe covers, keep work areas clean, and arrive within the scheduled window. Most washer repairs are completed in 1-2 hours.
If parts need to be ordered, we'll let you know the timeline and schedule a follow-up visit. We stock common parts for major brands, so many repairs happen the same day.
Repair vs. Replace: Making the Right Call
Not every washer is worth fixing. Here's our honest take:
Consider repair if: Your washer is less than 8 years old, it's been reliable until now, and the repair cost is under 50% of a new comparable machine.
Consider replacement if: The machine is over 10 years old, you've had multiple repairs recently, or major components like the transmission or tub are failing.
We'll never push you toward repair if replacement makes more sense. Our job is to give you the information to make the best decision for your situation.
Safety First
If your washer is leaking significantly, turn off the water supply valves behind the machine. If you smell burning or see sparks, unplug it immediately and call us. Don't attempt electrical repairs yourself—water and electricity don't mix.
