My washer roars during the spin cycle. What does that mean?

A roar that climbs with drum speed usually means worn tub bearings. That is a large job on many models, so the technician weighs it against the washer's age and tells you honestly whether it is worth doing.

We are on a well in Dover. Can that affect the washer?

Yes. Sediment and iron clog the inlet screens and slow the fill. Cleaning the screens or replacing the valve usually solves it, and a whole-house sediment filter helps prevent a repeat.

Where Heavy Use Shows Up

Daily loads wear the drive side first: tub bearings that roar on spin, shocks or suspension rods that let the drum bang, and a drain pump jammed with a sock or hair tie. Top-loaders wear out couplers and lid switches. Front-loaders in a humid garage grow mildew in the door boot and dispenser, and packing the drum with comforters speeds all of it.

Before calling, unplug the washer and clean the pump filter behind the small panel at the bottom front of most front-loaders, with towels and a shallow pan ready. Wipe the gasket and leave the door ajar after the last load.

Wells, Stacked Units and Rentals

On Dover farms and other well properties, sediment collects on the inlet valve screens and slows the fill, which can trigger fill errors, and iron can stain whites. Stacked pairs in Brandon townhomes may need separating, so mention the setup when you book. Landlords and property managers can schedule for tenants, and the price goes to whoever approves the repair.

Before You Book: Washer Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent washer problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Leaking WaterSafety: Turn off the hot and cold valves behind the machine and pull the plug, then check where each hose attaches and along the drain hose for drips. Do not start another load until you have looked.
Overfilling with WaterSafety: Close both supply valves right away and unplug the washer. Water still flowing in after the power is off means the inlet valve is stuck open.
Burning Smell from WasherSafety: Switch the washer off, then unplug it or turn off its breaker, and keep it out of use until it has been inspected.
Leaking from BottomSafety: Shut off the water and unplug the washer, and if your model has a pump filter, make sure its cap is screwed in tightly.
