If Your Washer Is Leaking
Closing the washer's water faucets when the machine is not in use takes pressure off the hoses and valves and limits flooding if a hose gives way. Source: GE Appliances - Washer Owner's Manual
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

Local Notes for Alva
Most washer calls in Alva 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.
Oklahoma has no general appliance repair license; mechanical licensing through the Construction Industries Board excludes minor repairs the manufacturer allows an owner or agent to make, but that exclusion does not reach gas piping, gas controls, appliance venting or opening a sealed refrigeration system.

In Oklahoma, you can check a license with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board Licensee Search or report a problem to the Oklahoma Attorney General, Consumer Protection Unit.
