Washer issues
Does Not Dispense Detergent
If you have an automatic detergent dispenser there are two common issues that can cause this problem.
Washer is Shaking and Moving
It might seem alarming when your washer is making noises and moving around, but the solution is generally pretty simple. Al Bada Dubai Washing Machine Repair
Not Level
If the floor isn't level your clothes washer will definitely jump around. Many of the wash cycles, such as spin, can easily thru the unit into a shaking and banging mode, and if the washer is sitting on an uneven floor it will even add to the movement.
Fortunately, this is an easy fix. Position the washer on a piece of 3/4" plywood. You can use shims if needed to bring the plywood to a level surface, but usually the plywood will do the trick. Hor Al Anz Dubai Washing Machine Repair
Washer Feet Improperly Positioned
Washing machines are designed to be adjusted to the floor surface so that they sit level and do not rock. The 2 front legs have a leveling mechanism with a lock nut to secure it in place. Adjust each leg to the correct height and tighten the lock to keep the leg from moving. There shouldn't be any movement in the front 2 legs once they are set.
The back 2 legs may have the same design as the front or they may be self-adjusting. If they are self-adjusting, tilt the washer forward onto it's front legs so that the rear legs are roughly 3" in the air. Then set the unit down to allow the legs to automatically adjust.
Load is Unbalanced
If your laundry is off balance you'll need to open the washer and adjust the load. You may need to make a couple of attempts in order to get it balanced again.
Washing too many clothes in a load can exceed the maximum load weight and cause the washer to go off-balance. Check your owners manual for load size recommendations, but as a general rule, the clothes shouldn't be packed too tightly allowing them room to move freely.
Washer is Noisy
A noisy washer could be as simple as a foreign object being somewhere it shouldn't, or it could be a clue that a part needs to be replaced. First rule out the simple fixes, which are listed below, and then read our extensive article on the causes and solutions for a noisy washer.
Gurgling
A gurgling sound could be an indication that something is obstructing the drain line, but not enough to fully clog the hose. Remove the blockage to prevent it from becoming a full blown clog which will most likely cause a flood.
Clicking
If you hear a clicking sound you may have an object lodged in the washer drain. You may have inadvertently missed a coin or other item left in a pocket. Check your drain and remove any foreign objects. Al Baraha Dubai washing Machine Repair
Buzzing or Humming
A foreign object may be lodged in your pump if you are hearing a humming or buzzing noise. If an object finds it's way into the pump it's not uncommon for the pump to jam. You may need to replace your pump if there was serious damage, but often just removing the object will solve the problem.​
Washer Smells
It's not uncommon for a washer to develop a musty or mildew smell. This can occur either in or around the appliance, and it's an indication of mold and bacteria growth. The washer tub provides a perfect dark, moist area for mold and bacteria to thrive.
All washers develop what is called a "bio-film" which is decaying matter that's always damp. Some washers are more prone to this build-up than others. Over time it'll begin to smell and if left untreated, the smell can spread into your laundry. In worst case situations, it can even cause the laundry room and other nearby rooms to smell. Read our article on how to remove this odor from your washer.
A good habit to develop is to clean your washing machine every month, and be on the lookout! Periodically check the area around your washer for mold or mildew. If your walls, cabinets or other areas show signs of mold or mildew growth there may be an issue with moisture that needs to be addressed.

Drain Pump Filter
The drain pump filter should be cleaned once a month, but few homeowners perform this task unless there's a problem. Frequently coins and other small items get caught in this filter and cause the water flow to slow creating an ideal location for mold and mildew growth.
Washer Won't Finish Cycle
This is an easy problem to troubleshoot. If your washer continues running even after the cycle should have finished, it most likely means that the timer is defective. Remove the control panel and check the timer contacts for corrosion or scorching. A new timer will fix this problem.

Does Not Dispense Detergent
If you have an automatic detergent dispenser there are two common issues that can cause this problem.
- The dispenser needs to be cleaned - Clean the dispenser monthly with a cup of warm distilled white vinegar. Pour the vinegar into the dispenser and run the washer thru a regular cycle. Any built-up residue or clogs will be flushed thru and your dispenser should work as good as new.
- Incorrect product - Using the right product can make all the difference in the world. If your washer was designed for liquid bleach, using a powder bleach can clog the dispenser and lines. Check your owners manual to find the type of product designed for your unit.

Detergent
- Too much detergent will create excessive suds and a dirty residue will build within the basket and other washer parts.
- Use the correct amount of detergent and fabric softener. This is probably the best defense simply because it's actually limiting the food supply.
Temperature
- Hot water will help dissolve the layer of bio-film. A hot soak or wash on your final load can be a great preventative measure, especially if you prefer washing in cold water.
- If you have a reoccurring mold problem or you don't use your washer frequently, you can run a second rinse cycle when you're doing laundry to help prevent mold and mildew growth.
