Here at Lane’s Appliance Repair, building customer relationships with trust and respect is a huge reason as to why we have been providing Mid-Michigan communities like Lansing, Jackson, Grand Ledge, and Williamston with quality appliance repair service for close to 40 years. That makes us feel pretty old, but it also makes us proud to be a mainstay in the communities that we live in and care about.

In today’s article, we are going to highlight a question that many people have when it comes to replacing or repairing their washing machines. Instead of throwing out an older appliance that has stopped working well, taking the following steps could end up being the difference between spending hundreds or thousands on your dryer. So read on if you are someone who likes saving money by being aware of these basic issues. But remember, if you are in doubt, you can always call your local appliance repair company to get an expert’s set of eyes on your issue.

Your Washing Machine Is Shaking and Moving Uncontrollably

Your washing machine shouldn’t be the source of your children’s nightmares. On the contrary, it should just wash your clothes without a fuss. If your Maytag or Samsung washing machine is shaking uncontrollably, causing all sorts of trauma throughout your household (we kid), you might need to consider replacing it.

But don’t despair, because replacement isn’t always the solution. There are a few different things you can do to try to assess the situation. First, check if its feet are level. If they aren’t, then that might be the issue right there. And there isn’t any need for your local appliance repair company to come out!

If your washer is making an uncomfortable amount noise, try stopping the washing to re-arrange the clothes that have gotten jumbled up to make them more evenly distributed throughout your appliance. If that doesn’t work, you should consider checking the evenness of the feet again, along with potentially buying or building a platform to solve the problem. It might be a bit of a hassle, but it sure as heck beats spending your money you had planned on using for a nice vacation on a washing machine.

The Washer Won’t Spin Anymore

Just like people, washing machines slow down. An example of this is when your washer won’t spin like it used to. There might be multiple factors in play, so we don’t want to be definitive in saying what the issue is without looking at the specifics. But usually, the washing machine repair will involve taking apart most of the machine. Unless you are a handyman or woman with significant experience in this field, it’s best to leave it to the experts. And guess what? That’s us.
