Identifying the Problem

You may have experienced the terrible racket a washer or dryer can cause when the load is unbalanced. An uneven load can cause the agitator (which spins the laundry) to rotate unevenly and bang against the machine’s housing.

Fixing this is usually a simple as evenly distributing your laundry before operation, but, if this does not help, professional service is likely required.

Upgrade Your Components

Most washers, especially older ones, come with rubber hoses to attach to a water source. Rubber hoses can easily be punctured or split under pressure, especially when machines are moved haphazardly. It is highly suggested that you replace rubber hoses with stronger, more secure steel-jacketed ones.

Dryers tend to come with vinyl ducts for ventilation, but they are flimsy and especially subject to malfunction. They’re also quite flammable. Metal ducts ensure punctures do not happen and reduces potential fire hazards. Lake Appliance Repair equips every vehicle with thousands of parts, so upgrading components is as easy as asking one of our technicians.

Keep the Machine Clean

Everyone should know to keep their lint screens clean. It not only improves the dryer’s efficiency, but also reduces possible fire hazards (in 1999, dryers caused over 14,000 fires and $86.6 million dollars in damage).

Washers also need a bit of cleaning as sediment can gather in the washer’s hoses and reduce flow. To fix this, unplug the machine, disable the water source, remove the hoses, and use a brush to clean the filters of any buildup. This may be easier said than done, so feel free to call us and have one of our qualified professionals handle it as part of a regular maintenance check up.
