Washer Dryer Repair Problems Reported to Appliance Repair Technicians by Walnut Creek Residents

Below are some common problems reported by Walnut Creek residents regarding needed washer dryer repair. Other than checking for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers the washer dryer repair is best left to an appliance repair technician.

Washers 

If the washer doesn't work at all, two things could be the problem. Either the appliance has no power source or the lid switch is defective. You can check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker to make sure the washer has a power source. 

If the cord is disconnected at the washer, it is best to call an appliance repair technician to replace or repair the wiring. The lid switch is typically found close to the door. If it is defective, a washer dryer repair person should replace the faulty switch.

Dryers 

Walnut Creek residents that have a dryer that doesn't work at all have similar repair recourse. There is either no power going to the dryer, the door switch or actuator lever is malfunctioning, there is a problem with the thermal fuse, or the timer doesn’t work. 

You can check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. You can also plug something in the socket to make sure the problem is with the dryer. If the door switch actuator lever is broken, the appliance repair technician will replace it. Door switch actuator levers typically come with a door switch assembly.
Washer dryer repair personnel recommend getting the whole assembly. There is very little difference in price between the lever alone or the door switch assembly. When a dryer overheats, the thermal fuse burns out. Either the dryer no longer runs, or it stops heating. 

A washer dryer repair technician will check the blower wheel to make sure it is not clogged or broken before replacing the fuse. Most dryer manufacturers recommend a hi-limit thermostat if a fuse needs to be replaced. A malfunctioning timer is an uncommon problem, but can be replaced if it malfunctions.
