Why Washing Machines Break Down
What a Washing Machine Technician Checks
Troubleshooting first? Start with front-load vs top-load washer problems or washer smells like mildew.
If Your Washer Is Leaking
Always install new inlet hoses rather than reusing old ones, check them from time to time, and replace any hose that shows bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
Unplug the washer before servicing or cleaning it; pressing the power button does not disconnect it from the electrical supply. Source: GE Appliances - Washer Owner's Manual
Do not make an airtight seal between the drain hose and the standpipe or restrict the hose; standpipe height limits vary by model (Maytag's high-efficiency guide allows 18 to 96 inches). Source: Maytag - High-Efficiency Washer Installation Instructions

What Tallahassee Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Tallahassee 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.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a Tallahassee Washer Technician
- 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?
