When to Run Your Washer & Avoid Costly Repairs

Timing is Everything.

Did you know running your washing machine at off-peak hours, like early morning or late evening, saves energy and lowers utility bills? Avoid peak times (usually 4 PM to 9 PM) to reduce strain on your machine and your wallet.

My washer jumps all over the floor and shakes like crazy! If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Washing machines can develop issues over time that cause excessive movement, loud banging, or shaking during a cycle. These problems disrupt your household and can lead to costly damage if left unchecked.

Common Causes of Washer Shaking:

  1. Unbalanced Loads: Overloading or unevenly distributed laundry can throw your washer off balance, causing it to shake excessively.

  2. Worn Suspension Springs or Dampers: These components keep your washer stable. If they're worn or broken, shaking is inevitable.

  3. Faulty Shock Absorbers: Especially common in front-load washers, worn shock absorbers can make your washer bounce like crazy.

  4. Leveling Issues: An improperly leveled washer can cause excessive vibrations during cycles.

  5. Loose Drum or Bearings: A loose or damaged drum can lead to loud banging and a wobbly machine.

Washer Error Codes and Their Meanings

Many modern washing machines display error codes when something goes wrong. Here are a few common ones:

  • Samsung: UE (Unbalanced Load), DC (Door Not Closed).

  • LG: UE (Uneven Load), LE (Locked Motor Error).

  • Whirlpool: F06 (Drive Motor Error), F21 (Drain Issue).

  • Maytag: Sd (Too Much Detergent), uL (Unbalanced Load).

    💡 Brands Most Commonly Repaired
