Washer Repair in Lake Forest, IL

One busy Monday in Lake Forest… a family's washer stopped spinning, leaving wet clothes piled high and kids needed clean uniforms for school. They called DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC, and our tech was there in under an hour. We found a worn drive belt, replaced it, and by lunch their washer was spinning like new. That's how we roll—fast, local, and friendly across Lake Forest & suburbs.

Common Symptoms of Washer Trouble

Won't Spin or Agitate

Clothes stay soaking wet. That's usually a broken drive belt or bad clutch. In Lake Forest, we often see belts slip after 5 years.

Leaks or Puddles

Water on the floor? Could be cracked inlet hose or failing tub seal. One Lake Forest home had a tiny hole in the fill hose—drip drip all night.

Loud Noises or Shaking

Rattling, banging, or thumps mean worn bearings, bad suspension springs, or unbalanced load. In Lake Forest homes, tight spaces make noise louder.

Error Codes or Won't Start

Codes like F20 (door lock) or E10 (water fill) flash. We read them, test the parts, and get right to the root—no guessing.

How We Diagnose Your Washer

  • Inspect Belts and Clutch: We remove the back panel and spin the drum. If belt is loose or cracked, we replace it. I think changing yours every 4 years pays off.
  • Check Hoses and Seals: We look at fill hoses, drain hoses, and tub seals for leaks. A loose clamp is sometimes all it takes.
  • Test Motor and Pump: Using multimeter, we verify motor windings and pump function. In Lake Forest, lint buildup around pump often causes clogs.
  • Read Error Codes: Our scanner plugs into the control board. Codes tell us if door latch, water valve, or pressure switch is at fault.

We don't guess—every step tells us what part needs fixin'.

Typical Repairs We Perform

Belt & Clutch Replacement

A worn belt stops spin cycles. We carry common kits in our van for Lake Forest calls.

Hose and Seal Swaps

Cracked inlet or drain hoses? We cut and install robust replacements. No more puddles.

Bearing and Suspension Fixes

Worn tub bearings or broken springs lead to thumps. We replace bearings and springs to silence the machine.

Pump Cleaning or Replacement

Clogs or bad pump stops draining. We clear debris or install a new pump—it drains fast again.

Control Board & Timer Repairs

If electronics glitch, we reflow solder joints or swap the timer board. No random stops mid-cycle.

Door Lock & Lid Switch

Front-loaders with bad door locks won't start. We test and replace locks and switches on the spot.

Preventive Tips (Keep Your Washer Happy)

  • Level the machine: uneven floors cause noise and wear.
  • Clean the filter and drain pump every month to avoid clogs.
  • Inspect hoses every 6 months for cracks or bulges.
  • Use the right detergent—too much suds strains the pump.
  • Run a maintenance cycle with vinegar or washer cleaner every 3 months.

Just this morning I realized my front-loading dryer in Evanston had stopped tumbling mid-cycle—loads of wet clothes piling up fast. A quick call to DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC and their tech was at my door within a couple of hours. He pinpointed a worn idler pulley, swapped in a new one on the spot, and ran a full spin-test to confirm smooth operation. From start to finish, it took less than two hours, and now my dryer works like new. Exceptional skill and efficiency—DTSOL earns my highest recommendation!
