How Laundromat Washer Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Laundromat Washer
- Water not filling or not draining
- Door or lid stays locked after the cycle
- Clothes come out soaking wet
- Leaks under the machine or around the door
Commercial laundry machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
If Your Washer Is Leaking

Plug the washer into a grounded three-prong outlet on a 15- or 20-amp 120-volt circuit, and never remove the ground prong or use an adapter or extension cord. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
