Dexter Washer Repair – Magnolia, OH

We responded to a commercial laundry facility in Magnolia, OH where a large Dexter washer wouldn’t spin out and several dryers were out of order. What looked like multiple equipment failures turned out to be a mix of maintenance issues and one genuine part failure.

The Problem

The customer reported that their washer won’t spin out and several dryers are out of order. Multiple units down in a commercial laundry creates serious business disruption.

Diagnosis

The large washing machine had a restricted drain. The bearings from the motor are making noise. Of the dryers were out of order, one of them had a bad temperature sensor. Several of the ones were marked out of order actually seem to be working properly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: Temperature sensor in one dryer
• Work performed: Cleared restricted drain in washer, replaced temperature sensor, adjusted coin drop in one dryer
• Result: Verified washing machine was running through the cycles properly, multiple dryers back in service

Is It Worth Repairing?

Commercial Dexter washers are built for heavy-duty use, but motor bearing noise indicates significant wear. For a unit this size, motor replacement costs could approach new equipment pricing. The technician noted that if the bearings were to go bad on the unit, it could make for a fairly expensive machine.

Maintenance Tips for Dexter Washers

• Check drain lines regularly in commercial settings where lint and debris accumulate faster
• Monitor motor bearing noise during spin cycles — early detection prevents catastrophic failure
• Keep coin mechanisms clean and properly adjusted to prevent customer complaints and lost revenue
