About Washing Machine and Dryer Problems

It is important to stay on top of your household appliances and make sure they are working correctly. One area you need to pay attention to in the house is the laundry room. The washer and dryer can cause some major issues for you if you don't keep them working correctly. You can learn about some signs of washer and dryer issues that you don't want to ignore in the following information: 

The washer has a strong vibration to it

The washing machine will have a bit of shaking to it while you are washing clothes. However, if that subtle vibration suddenly becomes more intense, then this is something that you should have checked out. It could be that there is excessive wear to the shock absorbers. If this is the case, then it needs to be repaired. Otherwise, the excessive vibrations can cause other parts of the washing machine to become loose, or even break. 

There are issues with the water level

Leaks are a commin possibility with washing machines, so you want to keep an eye on the area around the washer. However, there are a lot of issues that can happen with the washing machine that can affect the water level. If the water isn't coming up to the same level that it always has, then there may also be issues with the faucet, hose, inlet valve, water control unit, or other parts of the machine. You want to have a water level problem looked at as soon as possible. 

There are squeaking sounds

If you start to hear squeaking sounds coming from your washing machine or dryer, then this can be a huge warning sign that there is a problem that could be serious. Even a very small squeak can mean big trouble. The noise might be caused by two parts rubbing together. If this is happening, then it won't take long for those parts to wear each other down and break. 

The dryer isn't rotating

The dryer should rotate your clothing while blowing air at the temperature you choose in order to dry all the clothes. If your dryer isn't rotating the clothing, then it won't dry the clothing that's on the bottom of the pile. In fact, if you leave your clothes in the dryer too long, then they can end up with a musty smell. The reason the dryer isn't rotating is likely that there is an issue with the belt that you need to have repaired.
