Washer Emergency? Here's What to Do First

A washer emergency can be stressful, but knowing what to do first can save you time, money, and prevent further damage to your home.

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

The first thing you should do is locate the water shut-off valves behind your washing machine and turn them off. This prevents flooding and water damage.

Step 2: Unplug the Machine

Safety first! Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet to prevent any electrical hazards while you assess the situation.

Step 3: Remove Standing Water

If there's water in the drum, you'll need to manually drain it. Most washers have a drain filter at the bottom front that you can access.

Step 4: Call a Professional

While some issues can be DIY fixes, most washer problems require professional diagnosis. Our technicians can usually provide fast, reliable service.
