Common Washer Repair Problems We Fix Every Day
We have seen — and solved — it all. Here are the most common issues we repair every day.
Washer Won't Drain
Standing water in the drum after a cycle is almost always caused by a clogged drain hose, a failed drain pump, or a blocked pump filter. We diagnose and clear the obstruction quickly.
Washer Won't Spin
If your clothes are coming out soaking wet, the lid switch (on top-load machines) or the door latch (on front-load machines) may have failed. A worn drive belt or a faulty motor coupling can also prevent the drum from spinning.
Washer Is Leaking
Leaks are serious and can cause significant water damage to your floors and subfloor. Common causes include a worn door boot seal on front-loaders, a cracked tub-to-pump hose, or a faulty water inlet valve.
Washer Is Shaking Violently
Excessive vibration during the spin cycle is often caused by worn shock absorbers or a damaged suspension rod. It can also indicate an unbalanced load or an unlevel machine — we will check all of these factors.
Washer Won't Start
If your washing machine is completely unresponsive, the issue may be as simple as a tripped circuit breaker or as complex as a failed control board. We will diagnose the root cause and provide an written repair estimate.
Washer Is Making Loud Noises
Grinding, banging, or squealing noises during operation typically indicate worn drum bearings, a failing motor, or a foreign object trapped in the drum or pump.
Washer Repair Across McKinney, Frisco, Plano and the Rest of Our Service Area
Most of the washer calls coming into Texas Star Appliance come from the same handful of cities, week after week. Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen and Little Elm sit at the top of the list, with Prosper, Celina, Fairview and Melissa rounding things out. Because the route runs through all nine cities every few days, getting a tech out for washer repair in Plano, Frisco or McKinney rarely takes more than a day or two. When a call lands early in the day, we can often work it in the same week.
Whirlpool is by far the brand we see most often in the McKinney area homes, followed by Samsung, LG, Maytag and GE. Front loaders, top loaders, the older agitator models and the newer impeller designs all get worked on. Common parts like drain pumps, door boots, lid switches, drive belts and shock absorbers ride on the truck so the repair usually finishes in one trip.
What Goes Wrong Most Often, and What It Tends to Cost
Washers fail in patterns. A front loader that smells musty or leaves clothes wet is almost always a clogged drain pump or a torn door boot. A top loader that fills but won't agitate is usually a worn coupler or a bad lid switch. A washer that bangs around on the spin cycle has worn shock absorbers or a broken suspension rod. And a unit that fills slowly is usually a partially clogged inlet screen or a failing water valve.
The service fee is a flat $140, and that fee is part of the repair total if you approve the work. You'll get a written estimate before anything is taken apart, and the 90 day parts and labor warranty applies to every repair, whether the unit is a basic Whirlpool or a high end LG. We don't stop until it's right.

Repair vs. Replace: What's the Right Choice?
The average washing machine lasts 10–14 years with proper maintenance. If your washer is under 10 years old, a repair is almost always the smarter financial decision compared to purchasing a new unit. If the repair cost exceeds half the price of a new machine, it may be time to consider a replacement. We will always give you an honest, pressure-free assessment.
