Washer repair

Washer not draining in Philadelphia.

A washer that won't drain usually has a clogged drain pump or filter, a kinked or blocked drain hose, or a failed pump motor. I find the blockage or the bad part and fix it same-week across Philadelphia and the Main Line.

Why it happens

Why your washer won't drain.

The usual culprits, in plain words. I confirm which one it is before quoting anything.
01

Clogged drain pump or filter

Coins, lint and small items collect in the pump filter and jam it, so the water has nowhere to go. Clearing it often gets the machine draining again.
02

Kinked or blocked drain hose

A hose that's pinched behind the machine or clogged with debris stops the water from leaving, leaving the drum full at the end of a cycle.
03

Failed drain pump motor

The pump motor pushes water out. When it burns out or seizes, the machine hums or trips but the water stays put.
04

Bad lid switch or control

Some washers won't enter the drain or spin step if the lid switch or control board thinks the lid is open, so the water never pumps out.
Cost

How much does it cost to fix a washer that won't drain?

Every visit starts with a flat $89 diagnostic, and that $89 is applied to the repair. Most won't-drain washer repairs start from $380, including parts. You get the exact price in writing before any work begins.

How much does it cost to fix a washer that won't drain?
Every visit is a flat $89 diagnostic that goes toward the repair. Most won't-drain repairs start from $380, including parts, with the exact price in writing before any work begins.
Can I fix a washer that won't drain myself?
You can check the pump filter for coins and lint and make sure the drain hose isn't kinked. A failed pump motor or a control issue needs a real diagnosis and the right part.
How long does a won't-drain washer repair take?
Most jobs are booked the same week, often same-day, and done in a single visit when the part is on the van. Every repair is backed for 90 days.
Is it worth fixing a washer that won't drain?
Usually yes. A pump or hose is far cheaper than a new washer. If it's an older machine with bigger problems, I'll tell you straight whether the repair makes sense.

"The positive reviews are right on- Tariq and Moose came when they said they would, were super nice and knowledgeable, and fixed the original problem with the washer right away. So I asked if they could fix something else with the dishwasher, and they did that too at no extra cost! I highly recommend them, they are the best."
