My whites are turning orange. Is the washer at fault?

Rarely. Iron in well water is the usual cause, and treating it at the well or with a whole-house filter is the real fix. Clogged inlet screens can add slow fills on top of the staining.

Why does my washer fill slowly only some of the time?

On a well, the pressure tank cycles between a low and a high setting, and a fill that lands at the low end runs slow. If the inlet screens are clean and the tank gauge reads low during a fill, the well system is the place to look, and we will tell you so.

Fill Problems That Start at the Well

Every washer has small mesh screens where the hoses attach, and well sediment piles up on them. The fill slows, the cycle drags, and many newer machines stop with a fill error. Iron turns whites orange or brown, and a sulfur well can leave laundry with a faint odor that owners often blame on the machine. To check, close both supply valves, take the hoses off at the back and look at the screens. A packed screen answers the question quickly.

Front-loaders in a garage or a humid laundry room hold moisture in the door boot and dispenser, and mildew follows. Wipe the gasket, clean the pump filter and leave the door ajar between loads. Households with horses have another problem: hair and grit from saddle pads and blankets clog the drain pump fast, so shake and brush them out before washing.

Septic Drains and the Service Visit

Many rural lots in Lutz and around Keystone are on septic. If water backs up at the standpipe, the trouble may be household plumbing rather than the washer, and the technician will help you sort out which. The visit covers the inlet valve, pump, lid or door lock and motor, with the diagnosis and the price given before any 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.
