Whirlpool Washer; Dryer Repair – Lisbon, OH (LSN1000JQ0, LGN1000HQ1)

A Lisbon homeowner called us about a 20+ year old Whirlpool washer and dryer set that had developed serious problems. The washer was leaking water from the front of the unit when filling, while the dryer’s time dial wouldn’t advance and would continue running for hours without stopping.

The Problem

The customer reported that their Whirlpool washer was leaking water from the front of unit when filling, and the dryer’s time dial would not advance and the dryer would continue to dry for hours without stopping. Both units were over 20 years old, but the customer wanted to keep them rather than replace them.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed a failed drain pump in the washer causing the front leakage during fill cycles. The dryer had a faulty timer that prevented proper cycle advancement, causing it to run indefinitely without moving through its programmed sequence.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3363394 — water pump, WP3976570 — timer
• Work performed: Replaced the timer on the dryer and the drain pump in the washer
• Result: Both units returned to proper operation with no leaks and normal cycle timing

Is It Worth Repairing?

For 20+ year old Whirlpool units, this repair made sense given the customer’s preference to keep them running. These older Whirlpool models were built to last, and with quality parts replacement, they can provide several more years of reliable service. The repair cost was significantly less than replacing both units.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers and Dryers

• Clean the washer drain pump filter monthly to prevent debris buildup that can cause pump failure
• Check dryer timer knob alignment periodically — loose connections can cause timing issues
• Run washer cleaning cycles with Whirlpool Affresh tablets to maintain internal components
