How Laundromat Washer Repairs Differ
Commercial Washer Problems Worth a Call
- Machine stops mid-cycle with an error
- Leaks under the machine or around the door
- Clothes come out soaking wet
- Door or lid stays locked after the cycle
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.
Leaks and Safe Shutoff

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

What Allentown Owners Should Know
Lehigh County Authority (Allentown Division), which supplies Allentown, reports hardness of about 13 grains per gallon (hard). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.

Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
