Whirlpool Washer; Dryer Repair – Uniontown, OH (MED5500FW1)

A customer in Uniontown called us back about their Whirlpool washer and dryer set, reporting continued knocking from the dryer and now water leaking from the washer. After a thorough inspection, we discovered the water issue had a simple explanation and the dryer noise was caused by a twisted belt.

The Problem

The customer reported that their dryer was still knocking and now the washer was leaking water. They were concerned they might have knocked something loose or had developed another problem with their washer and dryer set.

Diagnosis

No evidence of water leakage from the washing machine was found. After looking things over together with the customer, we concluded that the water must have been spilled from the dog dish that is in front of the washing machine. The dryer belt was twisted and seemed to be causing the noise. I carefully checked all the rollers and found nothing else wrong.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None required
• Work performed: Corrected twisted dryer belt position
• Result: Dryer noise eliminated, confirmed no washer leakage

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Whirlpool washer and dryer set is a reliable model that typically provides many years of service. Since this repair required no parts and addressed a simple belt positioning issue, continuing to maintain this set makes good economic sense.
