Washing machine repair, done properly
A washer that stops mid-cycle full of water, won’t spin or leaks onto the floor can’t wait long, especially in a condo where a leak can reach the unit below. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available,* and we repair front-load, top-load agitator and impeller, compact 24-inch and stacked washers, as well as all-in-one washer-dryers, in houses, condos and businesses.
Most washer problems trace back to a few parts: the drain pump and its filter, the door or lid lock, the inlet valves, the suspension and the drive. We use the washer’s own service and test modes, where it has them, to see which one is failing before we replace anything.
Washer Won’t Drain
A washer that won’t drain usually has something stuck in the drain pump or its filter. Coins, hair ties, bra wires and small socks are the classics. If the filter is clear, the pump itself, a kinked drain hose or the pressure sensor that tells the washer it’s empty are next on the list.

Problems we fix most
- Water left in the drum after the cycle
- Washer stops mid-cycle and shows a code
- Clothes come out soaking wet
- Pump hums but no water moves
- Water backing up into the drum
Before you book
On most front-loaders the drain filter sits behind a small door at the bottom front. Have a shallow tray and towels ready before opening it, because a full drum can release several litres of water.
How we diagnose a washer that won’t drain
We drain the washer safely, clean the pump filter and check the drain hose and the house drain, then test the drain pump and the pressure sensor. A pump that hums but doesn’t move water is usually jammed or has failed.
Won’t Spin, Shaking & Loud Noises
If a washer won’t spin, it’s often protecting itself: an unbalanced load, a drain problem or a door lock that won’t confirm all stop the spin. Shaking and banging point to worn shock absorbers, suspension rods or springs, and a roar or grind that gets louder at high speed usually means the tub bearings are going.

Problems we fix most
- Won’t spin or spins slowly
- Shakes, bangs or walks across the floor
- Grinding or roaring on spin
- Squealing or thumping
- Unbalanced-load errors with normal loads
Quick check
Make sure the washer is level with its feet locked, and that a new washer has had its shipping bolts removed. A single heavy item, like a bath mat, can also stop the spin.
How we diagnose spin and noise problems
We test the spin with an empty drum, then check the suspension, the drive belt or direct-drive motor, the rotor position sensor and the tub bearings. Bearing noise is confirmed with the drum turned by hand before we quote.
Washer Leaking
Where the water shows up tells us a lot. Water at the front of a front-loader usually means a torn door boot seal or an overfilled detergent drawer. Water at the back points to the inlet hoses or valves, and water underneath to the drain pump, a hose or the tub seal.
Problems we fix most
- Water at the front of a front-loader
- Puddle under the washer
- Water behind the machine
- Leak only during the drain or spin
- Leak-detection error code
Before you book
Turn off the taps behind the washer if water keeps spreading. Too much detergent, or regular detergent in a high-efficiency washer, makes suds that can push out of the drawer.
How we find a washer leak
We run a short cycle with the panels off to find the leak, then check the door boot seal, the inlet hoses and valves, the drain pump and its hoses, and the tub seal.
Not Filling or Filling Slowly
A washer that won’t fill, or takes forever, usually has a blocked inlet screen, a kinked hose or a failed inlet valve. On compact European washers in condos, the small mesh screens where the hoses connect clog quickly with sediment from the building’s pipes.

Problems we fix most
- No water entering the drum
- Fills very slowly
- Only hot or only cold water
- Water keeps running when the washer is off
- Fill error code
Quick check
Make sure both taps behind the washer are fully open and the hoses aren’t kinked. If water keeps entering the washer while it’s off, close the taps and book a visit.
How we diagnose fill problems
We check the water pressure at the taps, clean the inlet screens and test the inlet valve coils, then the pressure sensor and the controls that tell the valve when to stop.
Door & Lid Lock Problems
Washers won’t start, and won’t let you open the door, until the lock confirms it’s safe. A failed door or lid lock, a broken strike or a fault in the wiring can leave the washer dead at the start of a cycle or holding your laundry at the end.
Problems we fix most
- Door or lid won’t lock, cycle won’t start
- Door stays locked after the cycle
- Door lock error code
- Lid switch clicking
- Broken door handle or hinge
If the door stays locked
Wait a few minutes after the cycle and check whether water is still in the drum. Many washers keep the door locked until the water has drained. Please don’t force the door.
How we diagnose door and lid locks
We check the door or lid strike and the handle, then test the lock motor and switch, and the wiring to the board.
Odours, Mould & Detergent Problems
Front-loaders seal tightly, so a little leftover water and detergent can turn into a musty smell and mould in the door boot. Automatic dosing systems, which store detergent in cartridges or a tank, can also stop dispensing when a cartridge, pump or sensor fails.

Problems we fix most
- Musty or sour smell
- Mould in the door boot seal
- Detergent left in the drawer
- Automatic dosing not dispensing
- Residue on clean laundry
Prevent it
Leave the door and the detergent drawer slightly open between washes, use high-efficiency detergent sparingly, and run a hot cleaning cycle about once a month.
How we diagnose odours and dosing faults
We check the drain path for standing water and the boot seal for damage, then the dispenser, the water valves and the dosing pumps. A torn or badly stained boot seal is usually best replaced.

Repair or replace your washer?
Usually worth repairing
- It’s under about 8 to 10 years old
- The fault is a drain pump, door lock, valve, belt, shock absorber or sensor
- It’s a compact or stacked unit that’s awkward or costly to replace
- The drum turns freely and quietly by hand
Worth weighing a replacement
- The tub bearings have failed on an older, budget washer
- The outer tub is cracked or the cabinet is rusted through
- The control board and motor have both failed
- Parts are discontinued for the model
Most washers last around 10 years, and most washer repairs are a single part. You get a written price before any work starts, so you can decide with real numbers.
Washer repair questions
How much does washer repair cost in Toronto?
It depends on the part and the washer. The diagnostic is free when you go ahead with the repair, and the technician gives you a written price before any work starts. New customers also get $25 off the repair.
My washer won't drain. Can I fix it myself?
Sometimes. On most front-loaders, clearing the drain pump filter behind the small door at the bottom front fixes a lot of drain faults. Put down towels and a shallow tray first. If the filter is clear and it still won't drain, the pump or a sensor has likely failed.
Why does my washer shake or walk across the floor?
An unbalanced load, a washer that isn't level, or shipping bolts left in a new washer are the quick fixes. If those check out, worn shock absorbers or suspension rods are the usual cause, and we replace them as a set.
Is it worth repairing an older washer?
Usually, if the drum and tub are sound. Pumps, locks, valves and suspension parts are affordable repairs. Failed tub bearings on an older, budget washer are the main case where replacing it can make more sense.
Do you repair compact and stacked washers in condos?
Yes. We repair compact 24-inch washers and stacked laundry from Bosch, Miele, Blomberg, LG, Samsung and others, as well as all-in-one washer-dryers. Let us know about building access or elevator booking when you book.
Can you come the same day?
Often, yes. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available in your area. If today is full, we book the earliest time that suits you.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our repairs carry a warranty of up to 12 months, depending on the repair.
