Washer and Dryer Repair

Problem: “My washer stops during the spin cycle and doesn’t spin.”

Solution:
If you’ve ever found your clothes soaking wet after a wash, it’s likely because your washer didn’t spin them properly. Ideally, clothes should be damp, not drenched. Several things could be causing this issue, depending on the washer’s model and brand. A faulty lid switch or door latch is a common culprit. These parts detect whether the door is securely closed—if the washer thinks the door is still open, it won’t spin.

If you hear a loud grumbling noise during the spin cycle, the problem might be a broken motor coupling, which connects the motor to the transmission. This is often a simple fix but may require replacement parts.

If you’re dealing with either of these issues, it’s time to call a professional. AR Appliance Repairs can send a qualified technician who will quickly diagnose the problem and fix your washer for much less than the cost of buying a new one.

Problem: “My washer is overflowing and won’t stop filling with water.”

Solution:
An overflowing washer can cause serious damage, from flooded basements to ruined floors. If your washer won’t stop filling with water—even after you’ve turned it off—follow these steps:

Turn off the water supply at the valve on the wall to stop the water flow.
Call AR Appliance Repairs for expert help.

If water continues to pour in even after the machine is off, the issue is most likely with the fill valve (water inlet valve). This valve opens to allow water into the washer, but when it fails, the solenoids that control it can get stuck in the open position, causing water to constantly flow.

If the water stops filling when the washer is turned off but continues to overflow when left on, your water pressure switch might be faulty. This switch regulates the water level and turns off the water when the appropriate level is reached. A malfunction here could leave your washer overfilling.

AR Appliance Repairs has skilled technicians ready to fix these issues and restore your washer to working order without breaking your budget.
