Household owners often find themselves confused with what is happening with their appliance. Unusual sounds or vibrations and we do not dare to look for and fix the problem.There are always easy steps on how to check for the problem and find a way to fix it without calling a repairman. In this article we will show you how to fix the mechanical issues on your washer or your dryer. Aside from refrigerator repair, these are the most used and heavy duty appliances and they are prone to breaking down. It is important that the problem is fixed as soon as possible so that it may not cause any further damage.
The dryer does not heat.
The most common issue for dryers is its inability to dry your clothes properly. Low heat levels and long drying cycles are the common results of this problem. To fix this, you can start by checking the lint trap for accumulation of dirt. This can block the air passages that deliver the warm air to the container which dries the clothes. You can clean the lint trap by vacuuming it or by brushing it.
Dryer makes sounds.
A dryer, also, has normal regular sounds produced when it is operating. These sounds usually are just low pitched and consistent noises. However, if you hear a periodic clicking sound on the dryer, you might suspect “baffles”. This is the term for small objects that accumulate inside the dryer; coins, buttons or any small objects could slip through the holes of the dryer and get stuck inside the machine. If you hear a clicking sound, refrain from using the dryer first and remove the object. More often than not, the object is just on the bottom of the dryer and it is easily removed.
Washing machine makes sounds.
Normally, your washing machine would produce consistent and soft noises. A buzzing or clicking noise could indicate a loose motor coupling or even a broken one. To replace this, you will have to buy a new one and unscrew the container of the machine so you could gain access to its main parts. Check for any loose screws that might be causing the sound. Most of the time, loose screws are producing the sounds that you hear. Just tighten them and you will find the sound has gone away. However, if you can’t find the problem, it is best to contact a specialist to look at the problem.
