Washer repair in Gaithersburg
A washer two floors above the kitchen raises the stakes of every leak, and that is the arrangement in a large share of 20878's rowhouses and townhouses. Carriage-house apartments above alley garages usually have a compact or stacked unit squeezed into a closet. The older detached houses in Quince Orchard and the larger lots toward Darnestown keep laundry in a basement or a main-floor room, where a floor drain is more likely to be close by.
Pinning down why a washer leaks, stalls or will not drain
Before taking panels off, we run the washer through fill, wash, drain and spin while watching for where it stops or where water appears. Standing water leads to the coin trap or pump filter, then the drain hose and the standpipe height, then the pump motor's voltage and resistance. A tub that will not spin is checked at the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or motor coupler, and the motor and its control board. Leaks are followed back to their source: inlet hoses and valve, the door boot on a front-loader, the pump seal, or a tub seal that has let water reach the rear bearing.
Protecting the ceilings below an upstairs laundry
If your Lakelands or Kentlands washer sits over a finished room, check for a drain pan and make sure its outlet is open. Steel-braided supply hoses are worth installing if yours are still rubber. In a carriage-house apartment, locate the shutoff valves before anything goes wrong, since they may be in the garage below.

Washer Repair Questions
The questions that come up most often. Anything not covered here, ask us when you call, or add it to the booking form's notes field.
Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Make sure all four feet touch the floor and the lock nuts are tight, and that the load is not a single heavy item like a bath mat. Persistent shaking points to worn suspension springs or dampers, or to a failing rear bearing, which we can confirm by turning the drum by hand and listening for grinding.
