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.

Saved $150 to have a virtual visit diagnosis to confirm the problem and obtain a quote to fix our washing machine vs buy a new appliance. Quick, efficient, and effective and it saved me time and money.

Anthony's performance was exemplary. He arrived promptly, provided a clear explanation, accurately diagnosed the issue, and efficiently completed the repair. Following this, he conducted comprehensive safety and performance evaluations on two separate occasions, concluding with a cycle test. He is, without doubt, one of the most proficient technicians to have serviced my residence. Well Done Kevin Halfpop
