Reliable Washer & Dryer Repair Services
You Can Trust
We repair the laundry appliances found in Lakeway homes, from older builds near Lakeway Boulevard to newer homes in Rough Hollow. That includes top load washers, front load washers, electric dryers, and stacked or combination units. Each type fails in its own way, so we check the symptoms first and the parts second. We carry common parts like belts, pumps, valves, and thermal fuses, which helps us finish many jobs in one visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you the wait up front.
A washer does three jobs: it fills, agitates or tumbles, and drains and spins. When one step fails, the whole load stops. We repair top load and front load washers from Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, Maytag, and many other makers. Our technician listens to the machine, checks error codes, and tests the pump, motor, water valves, lid switch, and control board. We find the failed part and show it to you when we can. Then we give you the repair price. You decide if the repair makes sense for your machine. Most washer repairs take one to two hours.

Washer and Dryer Combination Unit Repair
You Can Trust
Electric dryers use a 240 volt circuit and a heating element to make heat. Most no heat problems trace back to a burned element, a tripped thermal fuse, or a weak breaker. Many owners reset one breaker and think the power is fine. A 240 volt dryer pulls power through two breaker poles, and one pole can fail while the other works. We test voltage at the outlet, then at the terminal block, then at the heating parts. That order finds the real fault without guessing. We replace only the parts that failed and test the dryer under heat before we leave.
Common Washing Machine Problems We Repair
Washers send clear signals before they fail. You might see standing water, hear a thump, or find a damp towel at the end of a cycle. Each sign points to a short list of parts. Lakeway has hard water, which leaves mineral buildup in valves, hoses, and pumps over time. That buildup shortens the life of parts that touch water. Here are the washer problems we fix most often, and what usually causes each one.
Troubleshooting Common Washer Issues
Lakeway's hard water leaves mineral buildup in valves, hoses, and pumps over time. Here is what we fix most often:
A washer that will not start usually has a power or door issue. Check that the plug sits tight and the breaker has not tripped.
- Top Loaders: A worn lid switch is a common culprit.
- Front Loaders: Door lock and main control board often fail.
Standing water in the drum means the machine cannot move water out. Do not keep running it, as the motor can overheat.
- Clogged Filter: Coins, hair ties, and lint block the drain pump filter.
- Mechanical Issues: Bad lid switch, worn motor coupling, or failed belt.
A leak can start small and ruin a floor. Check fill hoses at the back first for cracks or loose fits.
- Under Machine Leaks: Worn door boot, split tub seal, or bad drain pump.
- Overloading: Too much detergent can push water out of the door.
A washer should not walk across the floor. Shaking often means an unbalanced load or unlevel feet.
- Suspension: Worn shock absorbers or suspension rods cause heavy shaking.
- Grinding Sound: Points to failed tub bearings, which can ruin the tub if ignored.

Checking Appliance Recalls and Manufacturer Safety Notices
Manufacturers sometimes recall washers and dryers for safety defects. You can check your model at CPSC.gov, where the Consumer Product Safety Commission lists every active recall. Look up your brand and model number, which you can find on a label inside the door or on the back panel. Register new appliances with the maker so you get notices by mail or email. If your model has a recall, stop using it and follow the maker’s instructions. We can also help you read model tags and find the right repair or replacement path.

Appliance Fires and Household Safety:What Homeowners Should Know
Appliance fires are rare compared to how often we use our machines. But they cause real loss. The NFPA reports that thousands of home fires start each year in clothes dryers and washing machines. Most of them are preventable. Simple habits and timely repairs cut the risk by a lot. This section explains where fires come from and how to lower your chances. Use it as a checklist for your own laundry room.
Common Causes of Washer and Dryer Fire Hazards
Dryers cause far more laundry fires than washers. The leading cause is lint that builds up and ignites. Other causes include failed thermostats, damaged wiring, overloaded outlets, and clothing with oils or chemicals. Items stained with cooking oil, gasoline, or paint thinner can ignite in a hot dryer, even after washing. Hang those items to dry outside, or wash them several times first. Never run the dryer when you leave home or go to sleep. Staying nearby lets you catch a problem early.
Worn cords, loose terminals, and failing control boards can overheat. A loose connection at the dryer terminal block creates heat that can melt plastic and scorch wiring. Power cords on dryers carry large loads, so damage matters. A washer plugged into a weak outlet can also overheat the plug. Do not use extension cords on laundry appliances. Signs of trouble include warm plugs, flickering lights, and buzzing sounds. We check connections and cords during diagnosis, and we tell you if an electrician should look at your outlet or breaker.

The Financial Impact of Broken Washers and Dryers
A broken washer or dryer hits your wallet in more ways than one. You pay for the repair or replacement. You also pay for laundromat trips, rushed shopping, and sometimes water damage. Knowing the real costs helps you make a calm decision instead of a panicked one. This section walks through the numbers and gives you simple rules for choosing between a repair and a new machine. A good decision keeps both your laundry and your budget on track. Every repair has two parts of the bill: the part and the labor. Small parts like belts, igniters, and door switches cost less than big parts like control boards, motors, and drain pumps. Labor depends on how deep the part sits inside the machine. A belt swap takes less time than a bearing replacement, which may need the tub removed. Many common fixes come in well below the cost of a new machine. We give you a written estimate before we start, so you see each cost clearly. You only pay if you approve the work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Repair My Washer or Dryer the Same Day?
Often, yes. We keep a stocked truck and hold open slots for urgent calls. If you call in the morning, we can often reach you the same day. Timing depends on the schedule, your location, and the part needed. Common parts like belts, switches, and igniters are usually on the truck. If we must order a part, we tell you the wait time before you decide. Call us, and we will give you the soonest window.
Is It Worth Repairing an Older Washing Machine?
It depends on age, cost, and condition. The National Association of Home Builders puts the average washer life near 10 years. If your washer is under that age and the repair costs less than half a new one, repair usually wins. If the tub, bearings, and board all show wear, replacement may save money. We give you an honest opinion at the visit. If replacement is the better call, we tell you and do not push a repair.
Why Is My Dryer Running but Not Heating?
The most common causes are a failed heating element on electric dryers and a weak igniter on gas dryers. A blown thermal fuse or a tripped breaker pole can also cut heat. A clogged vent can trigger safety parts that shut the heat off. Check the lint trap and breaker first. If the dryer still runs cold, stop using it and call us. We test each heat part and fix the cause, not only the symptom.
Why Won’t My Washing Machine Drain?
Start with the drain pump filter and the drain hose. Coins, lint, and small items block both. Check for kinks in the hose behind the machine. If both are clear, the drain pump may have failed. A bad lid switch or control board can also stop the drain. Do not keep running a washer full of water. We drain it safely, test the pump and switches, and replace the part that failed.
