The washing machine is one of the most important appliances in the house. Without it, your routine is thrown off, dirty clothes pile up, and the inconvenience can be very frustrating. When your washer won’t spin or fill, you need help, and you need it now.

 

There are numerous do-it-yourself sites on the Internet that will tell you that fixing your washer is simple, but this is rarely the case. There are a number of different problems that might cause the washer to fail to fill or spin:

• Failed lid switch
• Broken coupler
• Broken belt
• Worn clutch
• Malfunctioning drive motor
• Worn out pulleys
• Burnt out transmission
• Failure of the automatic shift lever

With each of these problems, various tools and/or parts will be required in order to repair the machine. Rather than wasting time and energy trying to sort your way through conflicting DIY sites, contact a reputable GTA repair company and get your washer working again quickly.

 

Who to Call

 

Many people make the mistake of calling the first repair company that’s listed, rather than searching for the best company. Some of the hallmarks of a high-quality repair company include the following:

• Website. A reputable repair company will maintain a website that details which areas of the GTA they service, what types of appliances they are authorized to repair, and their core values.
• Licensed repair techs. Their employees should be licensed, bonded, and insured.
• Same-day service. When your washer is out of commission, you don’t want to wait! Choose a company that offers same-day service.
• Track record. Hire a company that’s been around for many years and that employs repair people who have experience with a number of different brands.
• Honesty. It’s important to work with a company that displays transparency about the labour costs and gives honest answers to questions.
• Warranty. The industry standard is to warranty labour for 30 days and parts for 90 days. However, you’ll find that superior repair companies offer longer guarantees on their work.
• Emphasis on customer service. Don’t settle for less than a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. Your repair professional should ask you to inspect their work and sign off on it.
• Courtesy. Your repair professional should respect you and your home. The last thing you need is someone traipsing through your house leaving a mess, or acting surly or dismissive. Look for a company that emphasizes courtesy and that promises to leave your house as neat as they found it. Many professionals cover their shoes, for example, to avoid tracking dirt or grease on your floors.
• Cost. Of course, you’ll want to go with a company that features competitive pricing. However, keep in mind that going with the lowest price is not necessarily the best option.
