Whirlpool Washer; Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (LTE5243DQA)

We responded to a service call in Canton for a Whirlpool washer and dryer combo experiencing multiple issues. The customer reported water coming out the bottom and the dryer running metal on metal. What we found required multiple visits to fully resolve both appliances.

The Problem

Water is coming out the bottom and the dryer is running metal on metal. The customer was dealing with two separate but serious appliance failures that made their laundry room unusable.

Diagnosis

Machine had bent drum and kept ripping water lines loose. Washer fill hose was off. Dryer had money in front slide making noise. The bent drum created ongoing stress on the water connections, while loose change in the dryer created the grinding sound.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: LAB-REPAIR APPLIANCE
• Work performed: Put back on washer fill hose, removed money from dryer front slide
• Result: Washer is working, dryer noise eliminated

Is It Worth Repairing?

With a bent drum that keeps ripping water lines loose, this older Whirlpool washer has reached the end of its useful life. The customer made the right decision to replace the unit rather than continue with costly repeated repairs on a machine with structural damage.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers and Dryers

• Check pockets thoroughly before loading clothes to prevent coins and debris from entering the dryer drum
• Inspect washer fill hoses annually for proper connection and signs of wear
• Listen for unusual grinding or metal-on-metal sounds that indicate foreign objects or mechanical issues
