The Washing Machine isn’t Draining
If it’s just about time for your washing machine to run its spin cycle, but you’ve noticed none of the water is draining out, you’ll probably need to call a professional to take a look. Odds are the issue lies with a seal, a gasket, or a clog somewhere like a hose or a pipe, and the technician will need to drain it.
The worst case is that you might need to replace your drain pump, but this may not be the case if your machine is relatively new. This is usually only the issue if your drain pump is on the older end or if you do a lot of laundry in a short amount of time. Sometimes it’s cheaper to invest in a new machine, but our technician will guide you after they look at the issue and diagnose it.
Your Washer Won’t Turn on at All
If you press the power button and your washing machine refuses to turn on, this could result in a few different problems. You might have an electrical issue concerning the power supply going to the washing machine, or you could have a problem with the timer knob, lid switch, or even the motor.
First, double-check that the circuit breaker to the machine hasn’t popped. If it has, reset it, and this should fix the problem. If not, you may need a qualified electrician and technician to come in and take a look at the machine and its outlet. Our team at Top Shelf Services can tell you within minutes whether the issue is more of a technical or an electrical one. If you let us fix it for you, your diagnostic call becomes FREE!

The Dryer Won’t Heat Up
The dryer has been running for over an hour, yet when it turns off, and you open the door, all your clothes are still damp, maybe even wet. Why? If you’re not overloading your dryer with more laundry than it can handle, check the lint screen to make sure it’s clean, then check the dryer settings to ensure they match the work you set up for it.
If none of these things seem to be the issue, the problem may lie with the heating element or a fuse. A qualified technician can diagnose these problems quickly and replace the right part for you quickly.
Your Washing Machine Is Vibrating Violently
Did you start a load of laundry, only to walk away and have it sound like you threw a brick in the washing machine? Your washer can vibrate violently if the unit is not level. If it is level and you haven’t moved it recently, you may have a worn-out drum seal, leading to downright horrific sounds and vibrations while your washer is running.
This is not a significant issue, though. Our technicians can easily replace the seal for you, if necessary, and quiet your machine down for good.
