Washer Repair
Do you experience issues with your washing machine? Your washer doesn’t turn on, it is leaking, or producing a loud noise? We all understand that the failing washing machine can put a significant strain on our lives. You may have either to wash clothes manually, which would be somewhat problematic in case you do not have much free time, or simply collect your laundry hoping it the problem would simply dissolve on its own. Alternatively, you may want to use a laundromat, and this solution is also far from being ideal. Luckily, however, our company can fix your washing machine within the shortest timeframe, often right after first appointment!
On Time Appliance Repair can offer you a same-day appointment or schedule a visit for you for another day in case you have a tight schedule. We arrange appointments at your home or business, so you do not have to deliver your appliance to us.
We cover both Los Angeles and surrounding areas, including Santa Monica and Burbank. Feel free to check our service area on our website! We work on all washing machine brands, including Jenn Air, Kenmore, Whirlpool, GE, LG, KitchenAid, Maytag, Frigidaire and many more.
Many appliance repair companies refuse to work on stackable washer and dryers, or even on combo unit. This has never been an issue for On Time Appliance repair – we will be able to send two technicians if necessary, however, please make sure to inform our service representative that you have a stackable or combo unit!

While our company can take any job, not matter big or small, we have decided to share these tips on maintenance and cleaning with our customers. Please feel free to set up an appointment with us in case you would prefer a trained technician perform maintenance on your appliance.
Washer Maintenance
The following tasks should be performed once in half a year:
- Check your manual to find the location of your washer’s lint filter. Remove it and clean it with hot water – you will find a sticky layer of lint on it if the lint filter has not been cleaned for a while. Dry it off and clean with a paper towel.
- Your inlet hose connection can develop cracks over the time – make sure to check it occasionally as well.
Washer Cleaning
Some people believe that washing machines clean themselves each cycle, however, unfortunately this is not really the case. You may often tell that your washing machine requires cleaning as it starts producing a bad smell. It is normally advised to clean your appliance at least several times a year. This will surely help you to prevent the bad odor reoccurring.
The following tasks should be performed monthly in order to keep your washer clean:
- Remove the detergent drawer from the washer and carefully wipe it with a sponge or cloth. The tray may require more attention if it was not cleaned in a while. A toothbrush would help you clean the mold and harder to reach stains.
- Make sure to pay attention to both the seal and the glass area as you wipe the washing machine door. Wipe the glass with the wet cloth or sponge. You may want to use some bleach and warm water for door seal cleaning. Make sure to remove mold and small debris.
- Make sure to check the door seal area on your washing machine – there should be no leaks. Cleaning the seals regularly would help prevent mold and small debris from damaging the seal further.
- Run your empty washer on a hot cycle after that. Add a washing detergent to clear out any mildew and remove the bad smell.
- To ensure your washing machine keeps the fresh smell keep the door open after you use it.
- Remove the wet clothes after the washing in order to prevent mold and mildew growth. A failure to remove wet clothes from the chamber may result in both your washing machine and clothes obtaining a bad smell.
Of course, if your washing machine cleaning and maintenance sounds like a burden for you – feel free to give us a call and we will send a professional technician to take care of your appliance!
