A washer that won't spin, won't drain, or floods the laundry room turns a simple load of laundry into a real headache. Our technicians carry the parts for the most common washer failures, so most repairs are finished in a single visit.
Most washer problems give some warning before they leave you with a load of wet laundry and no way to finish it. Here's what to watch for.
A drum that stays still or spins weakly usually points to a worn drive belt or a failing motor coupling.
Standing water left in the drum after a cycle is often a clogged pump filter or a blocked drain hose.
Noise during the spin cycle usually means worn drum bearings or a shock absorber that needs replacing.
Puddles near the machine often trace back to a damaged door gasket, loose hose, or worn tub seal.
A dead lid switch, door latch, or control board can keep the machine from starting a cycle at all.
A machine that shakes or walks across the floor points to worn suspension parts or a load balance sensor issue.
Here's what usually causes each washer problem we see in The Colony, and the typical price range once your technician confirms the exact issue.
| Likely cause | What it means | Typical repair cost* |
|---|---|---|
| Worn drive belt | Connects the motor to the drum — a common reason the tub stops spinning. | $100 – $200 |
| Clogged or failed drain pump | Pumps water out of the tub during the drain and spin cycles. | $150 – $350 |
| Faulty door lock or lid switch | A safety switch that must engage before the machine will run. | $90 – $200 |
| Bad water inlet valve | Controls water flow into the machine and can cause leaks when it fails. | $100 – $220 |
| Worn drum bearings or seal kit | Supports the spinning drum, often the source of loud grinding noise. | $200 – $350 |
| Failed control board | The circuit board that manages power to the washer's components. | $200 – $500 |
*Ranges reflect typical parts-and-labor costs across the industry. Your technician confirms the exact price on-site before starting any repair.
A new washer typically costs $500 to $1,500 installed, so most single-part repairs are the cheaper option — unless your machine is older and already on its second or third repair.
Here's what happens from your first call to a working washer again.
We check the belt, pump, valves, and bearings to find the actual cause of the problem.
You get a flat-rate price for the repair before we touch any parts.
Most parts are stocked on the truck, so the fix usually happens the same visit.
We run a complete cycle to confirm the washer spins, drains, and fills correctly.
We regularly service Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Maytag, and Bosch washers found throughout The Colony.
If your washer needs attention, your dryer is often next in line.

The most likely causes are a worn or broken drive belt, a faulty motor coupling, or a lid switch or door latch that isn't engaging. An unbalanced load can also trigger the machine's safety sensors, so try redistributing the laundry first.
Most washer repairs run between $90 and $500 depending on the part, plus the standard $60–$95 service call fee. We confirm the exact price on-site before doing any work.
Leaks are most often traced to a damaged door gasket, a loose hose connection, or a worn tub seal. Identifying exactly where the water is coming from during a cycle helps narrow down the cause quickly.
If it's a single-part failure and the machine is under about 10 years old, repairing is usually cheaper than a new washer, which typically runs $500 to $1,500 installed. Frequent repairs or a failed motor on an older unit are signs it may be time to replace it.
Most repairs are completed in one visit, often within an hour, since our trucks carry the parts needed for the most common washer failures.
We recommend turning off the water supply and avoiding use until it's repaired. A small leak can quickly turn into water damage to your flooring or the machine's electrical components.
