Frequently Asked Questions

Start with the basics: make sure the outlet has power (test with a phone charger), check that the door or lid is fully closed, and try resetting the machine by unplugging it for 60 seconds. If it still won't start, the issue is usually a failed door latch, lid switch, or control board. Our $59 diagnostic covers the full electrical inspection.

Not necessarily. A failed lid switch or door latch is one of the most common reasons a washer won't start, and those parts are typically $100 to $200 installed. Control board failures cost more but aren't always the culprit. Our diagnostic fee is $59 and waived with repair, so you'll know the cost before committing.

If the control panel lights up but the machine won't begin a cycle, the problem is often the door lock mechanism, the main control board, or the motor start capacitor. Our tech tests each component to isolate the failure and gives you a flat-rate quote before starting any work.
