Washer repair in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead: what to know
In Hazelwood, Homestead and Munhall the washer usually sits in the low basement of a worker house, reached by steep stairs with little headroom. Those basements can be damp, and older drain lines may back up in a heavy storm. If water rises through the floor drain, the washer isn't the cause. A washer that won't drain or spin usually has a clogged pump filter or a failed lid switch, both of which can be fixed where the machine stands.
How we find the fault: washers in brick rowhouses and worker houses
South Side rowhouse basements are tight, low and often damp, and the washer drains into an old tub or floor drain. We check the pump filter first, since in a house of renters it's often full of coins and hair ties, then the drain hose and the house line. On the hillside houses, if a tub or bearing job would mean carrying the machine out, we'll talk through the steps before starting.
