Before the Technician Arrives

• Whether it is a front loader, a top loader with an agitator, or a top loader with an impeller
• Where the washer drains (standpipe or laundry sink)

How to Choose a Washing Machine Technician Near Wheeling

• Will you check the drain pump filter and drain hose before replacing the pump?
• If a part has to be ordered, how soon can you come back to finish?
• If the problem turns out to be the supply valves or the standpipe, do you handle that or should I call a plumber?
