Is your washer not spinning? Won't drain? Leaking water all over your laundry room? At Den Appliance Repair, we provide same-day washer repair throughout Denver and the metro area for all brands and models - front-load, top-load, and HE washers.
When your washer won't drain, you're left with a tub full of water and soaking wet clothes. This is one of the most common washer problems we see in Denver homes.
Common causes include:
Clogged drain pump: Small items like socks, coins, or lint can get stuck in the drain pump, preventing it from pumping out water. You might hear a humming sound when the washer tries to drain.
Kinked drain hose: If the drain hose behind your washer becomes kinked or clogged, water can't drain properly.
Faulty lid switch: Top-load washers have a lid switch that prevents spinning when the lid is open. If this switch fails, the washer may not drain or spin.
Broken belt: If the drive belt breaks, the drum won't turn, which prevents draining and spinning.
Our technicians carry common washer parts on their trucks, which means we can often fix drainage problems the same day throughout Denver, Aurora, and Centennial.
If your washer fills with water but won't spin, clothes come out soaking wet. This problem has several possible causes:
Worn drive belt: The belt that turns the drum can wear out or break. This is especially common in older top-load washers.
Failed lid switch: The washer won't spin if it thinks the lid is open, even if it's closed.
Broken motor coupler: On direct-drive washers, the motor coupler connects the motor to the transmission. This plastic part can break with heavy use.
Transmission issues: While less common, transmission problems can prevent spinning.
Clutch problems: Some washer models have a clutch that can wear out over time.
Front-load and top-load washers have different mechanisms, but we're experts on both types and can quickly diagnose why your washer won't spin.
Water leaking from your washer can damage floors, cause mold, and lead to expensive repairs if not addressed quickly.
Common leak sources for front-load washers:
Worn door boot seal: The rubber gasket around the door deteriorates over time and can develop tears or cracks.
Clogged drain pump filter: When the filter gets clogged, water can back up and leak out the door.
Common leak sources for all washers:
Damaged hose connections: Water inlet hoses and drain hoses can work loose or develop cracks at connection points.
Cracked tub seals: The seals around the inner and outer tub can fail, causing leaks from underneath.
Faulty water inlet valve: If this valve doesn't shut off properly, water can overflow.
Overloading: Too many clothes can cause water to overflow, especially in top-load washers.
We'll locate the exact source of your leak and provide an effective repair to protect your laundry room and home.
Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds from your washer indicate mechanical problems that will get worse if ignored.
Grinding or scraping: Usually indicates worn drum bearings. This is more common in front-load washers and requires professional repair.
Squealing: Often caused by a worn drive belt or bad motor bearings.
Banging during spin: Can be caused by damaged shock absorbers (front-load), worn suspension springs, or an unbalanced load.
Rattling: May indicate loose drum, objects caught in the drain pump, or worn transmission components.
Don't ignore loud noises - minor issues can become major (and expensive) repairs if left unaddressed. We'll identify the source and fix it before damage spreads.
When your washer won't start at all, check these common causes first:
Power issues: Verify the washer is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
Failed lid/door switch: The washer won't start if it doesn't detect that the lid or door is properly closed.
Timer or control board: Electronic control boards can fail, preventing the washer from starting or responding to buttons.
Door lock assembly (front-load): If the door lock fails, the washer won't start as a safety measure.
Thermal fuse: Some washers have a thermal fuse that blows if the washer overheats.
We have the diagnostic tools to quickly identify why your washer won't start and get it running again.

Overloading strains the motor, transmission, and suspension components. It also prevents proper cleaning. Fill the washer no more than 3/4 full.
HE (high-efficiency) washers require HE detergent. Regular detergent creates too many suds, which can cause poor cleaning and even mechanical problems.
Wipe down the rubber door boot after each use to prevent mold and mildew. Leave the door open between loads to allow drying.
Coins, pens, and small items can damage the drum, pump, or other components. Always check pockets before loading clothes.
Front-load washers have a drain pump filter that should be cleaned every 3-6 months. This prevents clogs and foul odors.
An unlevel washer vibrates excessively and puts uneven stress on components. Use a level to check and adjust the feet if needed.
