Commercial washers run many more cycles than a home machine and add coin or card systems, heavier drives and, on larger machines, bolted-down frames that home models do not have.

How Laundromat Washer Repairs Differ
Signs a Commercial Washer Needs Service
- Machine stops mid-cycle with an error
- Clothes come out soaking wet
- Machine will not start from coin or card
- Leaks under the machine or around the door
Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as top-load coin machines, front-load washers or washer-extractors.
