You count on your washing machine to keep your wardrobe fresh, so an issue with this trusted appliance can be an extremely inconvenient hindrance. A broken washing machine can also cause water damage to your home and waste energy. While washing machine issues can sometimes be hard to spot, keep the following three signs in mind to know when you should call an appliance repair professional. 

3 Signs You Need to Fix Your Washing Machine 

1. Leaking Tub

If a puddle of water accumulates near your washing machine after a rinse cycle, it’s typically a sign that you need appliance repair. The hoses on the machine could be loose, or the washer tub could have a crack in it. While an issue with the hose is usually easy to fix, a crack in the tub will be a more expensive repair. 

2. Noisy Cycle

3. Old Model

While most washing machines should last at least 10 years, many washers will start to fail after about eight years of use. If your washer is older, pay attention to its performance during your routine washes. Even if your washing machine isn’t displaying any obvious issues, more subtle problems — such as slow drainage or inefficient washing — may warrant a repair.
