How Laundromat Washer Repairs Differ
Commercial Washer Problems Worth a Call
- Machine will not start from coin or card

- Water not filling or not draining
- Loud banging or shaking on the spin
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.

Local Notes for Galveston
Most washer calls in Galveston come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
