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
When to Call About a Laundromat Washer
- Clothes come out soaking wet
- Machine stops mid-cycle with an error
- Loud banging or shaking on the spin
- Machine will not start from coin or card
Commercial laundry machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
