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.

These authorizations tell you two things: (1) we are experts on servicing that brand, and (2) the manufacturer knows this and trusts us with their washers and dryers. We are proudly authorized to provide:

We are also trained experts at Maytag Repair and Whirlpool Repair, as well as Amana, Danby, Fisher and Paykel, and Roper washers and dryers. Really, our technicians have such a deep understanding of the technology, there is no laundry appliance brand or model they can’t diagnose and fix.

Job Details: 03/30/2026
The customer reported the washer shaking excessively during the spin cycle and occasionally leaking water. We found that the suspension rods had worn out and lost their dampening ability, causing the tub to move too freely. This excessive movement during spin cycles—especially with heavier or unbalanced loads—was creating the shaking and leak issue. Job complete. The technician inspected the suspension rods and tub assembly, confirmed multiple out-of-balance occurrences in the error log, and performed a test fill to assess for leaks during operation. The worn suspension rods were identified as the root cause of the excessive vibration and water leakage during the spin cycle.

The customer's washer wouldn't power on. We verified proper voltage at both the outlet and control board, ruled out any load issues, and determined the main control board had failed. The control board assembly was replaced and the unit now powers on and operates normally. Job complete. Technician tested 123VAC at the wall outlet and control board terminals. Unplugged all loads from the board to eliminate potential load-related failures. Diagnosed failed main control board based on no response and lack of indicator lights despite adequate voltage supply. Replaced WH22X37840 control board assembly.
