Washer Repair in Braddock & West Mifflin, PA

A washer that ends a cycle full of water has a blocked pump filter, a pump with a jammed impeller, or a kinked drain hose. We check the coin trap or filter first, since socks and hair ties cause more stoppages than worn parts. If water leaves but the drum will not spin, the lid lock or door latch, the drive belt on older top-loaders, a failed motor coupling, or the motor control board are next. On front-loaders a spin that stops at low speed is often an unbalance sensor reacting to a heavy towel load, or worn rear tub bearings dragging the drum. Error codes guide the order, but we confirm each part with a meter before replacing it.

In the 15104 boroughs, many washers pump into an old concrete or slate laundry tub whose drain runs slowly. If the tub fills faster than it empties, the washer can siphon or overflow, and the machine gets blamed. Run the tub tap alone and watch it drain. Damp cellar air also rusts the cabinet base, so look under the front edge for scale or orange stains when you book.
