A commercial laundromat in Navarre called about two Dexter front load washers having problems. One washer fills but won’t spin, while the other is leaking water and won’t operate properly. Our diagnosis revealed both electrical and plumbing issues affecting these commercial units.
The Problem
The customer reported one washer fills but won’t spin. The other is leaking water and won’t operate properly. Both machines were out of service, impacting the laundromat’s daily operations.
Diagnosis
The washer that would not spin had a loose connection on the spin relay. We found multiple connections in the three relays needed repair. The leaking washer required a water valve replacement.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: Water valve (from existing stock)
- Work performed: Repaired multiple connections in the three relays and replaced the faulty water valve
- Result: Both washers restored to full operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
Dexter commercial washers are built for heavy-duty use in laundromats and commercial facilities. These machines are designed to handle thousands of cycles and are typically worth repairing when issues arise, especially electrical problems like loose relay connections that can be fixed without major component replacement.
Maintenance Tips for Dexter Commercial Washers
- Check electrical connections monthly in high-use commercial environments to prevent relay failures
- Inspect water valves quarterly for signs of wear or mineral buildup that can cause leaking
- Monitor spin cycles for unusual vibration that could indicate bearing or drive issues
