The washer was having trouble entering the spin cycle and kept adding time to the cycle, though occasionally switching cycles would allow it to finish. We diagnosed the issue as excessive play in the spin basket caused by a worn spider component, which prevented the unit from balancing properly during the spin cycle and triggered continuous load redistribution attempts. Job complete. Technician tested the unit in agitate and spin cycles, noting abnormal vibration during agitation startup but smooth operation during spin. Inspection revealed significant play in the spin basket attributable to spider separation, which is the root cause of the balancing failure and cycle extension behavior. No error codes were present in the unit's memory.

We identified a faulty circulation pump as the source of the leak and replaced it to restore proper function. Job complete. The technician inspected the circulation pump assembly and confirmed it was the source of the water leak occurring within the first 5-10 minutes of the wash cycle. The circulation pump (WD26X23258) was replaced to resolve the issue.

The customer's dishwasher was displaying an LC error code during operation. We found that the door wasn't closing properly and was hitting the right side of the cabinet. We secured the unit to prevent further contact with the cabinet. Job complete. Technician inspected the door alignment and latch mechanism, identifying improper closure as the cause of the LC error code. The unit was adjusted and secured to prevent door-to-cabinet contact during operation.

The tech was fine but the diagnosis and parts and time we paid for did not fix the problem and it was going to be another $275 to fix so we decided to remove the whole dryer spray system and spent over $300 for nothing. A credit for the amount paid would be nice in this case if possible. Thanks

Chuck was very knowledgeable and efficient. Pricing was very reasonable-and well below that of another local appliance repair shop I recently used. I will definitely use Hometown Hero again and give Chuck and Hometown 5 stars in every category from initial contact through completion.
