Symptoms that your washer needs repair: Symptoms that your dryer needs repair:
  • Poor wash performance
  • Noisy during the spin cycle
  • Sounds like something rattling during operation
  • Moving around on the floor
  • Leaking water
  • Giving an error code
  • Taking a long time to dry (this can also be a sign that you need a dryer vent cleaning)
  • Scraping or squeaking noise when the dryer is running
  • Burning smell or unit seems hot to the touch
  • Rattling noise or sounds like something is loose
  • Brown or black marks on clothing
  • Something just isn’t right and you know you need appliance repair

Why it’s important to have your laundry appliances serviced periodically:

  • Dirty or poorly performing washers mean dirty clothes! If your agitator isn’t working, the clothes aren’t getting clean.
  • Little problems become big problems when ignored. Allowing the unit to operate dirty is taxing on all the components of the appliance, resulting in longer runs times on dryers, and components failing earlier.

Hometown Hero Appliance Repair has the tools, the expertise, and the parts to help you keep your appliances running smoothly. Our expert technicians will evaluate your washer or dryer and let you know if changes are needed. If you’re not sure if you need service, call us at (515) 393-4400 and speak to one of our expert technicians for advice.

The customer's LG washer was making a terrible noise during the wash cycle. Our technician diagnosed the issue as failing bearings in the recirculation pump and replaced the pump assembly. The washer now operates quietly without any noise. Job complete. The technician ran diagnostics to isolate the noise source to the recirculation pump, performed a visual inspection of the pump internals to rule out foreign objects, and determined the bearing failure was causing the screeching noise. After installation of the new pump assembly, the unit was tested and confirmed to be operating normally.
