Tampa, FL » Washer Repair
Laundry piles up fast when the washer quits. Our factory-certified technicians serve the entire Tampa Bay area with same or next-day appointments — and trucks stocked with the parts to fix your washer in a single visit.
Award-Winning Local Service
Appliance Repair Specialists has kept Tampa laundry rooms running since 1997. Our founder, Lance Kimball, started out as an authorized Maytag servicer, and the team he built is factory-trained, NASTeC-certified, background checked and drug screened, as well as fully licensed and insured.
We repair top-load, front-load and stackable washers from every major manufacturer. The problems we see most are water left standing in the drum, a tub that fills but won't spin or agitate, a puddle from a cracked hose or a worn front-loader door boot, and clothes that come out soaked after the final spin, which is a very common Samsung and LG complaint and usually a repairable part. A roar during spin that grows louder over a few weeks is another call we take often, since it is the classic sign of a tub bearing on its way out.
Pricing is straightforward. Your technician diagnoses the washer first, then confirms the diagnosis and the price with you before any work begins, and our service charge is waived when you approve the repair. You can see how our repair pricing works before you book.
Our trucks carry the washer parts that fail most often, so many repairs are done in one visit, and our parts department orders anything we don't carry. To book, call (813) 288-1900 in Hillsborough and Pasco or (727) 822-2600 in Pinellas, text us at (813) 288-1900, or schedule online. Same or next-day appointments are available in most cases, and our appliance repair in Tampa homepage covers every other appliance we service.
Troubleshooting Guide
From a washer that won't spin to one that floods the laundry room, these are the failures our Tampa technicians repair most, with the parts usually behind each one. Our guides go further on a washing machine that spins but won't drain, a washer that is loud when spinning and a Samsung washer leaving clothes wet.
Standing water in the tub usually comes down to:
Tech Tip: Check the pump filter (behind the small front panel on most front-loaders) — coins and socks are frequent offenders.
If the tub fills but never moves, we typically replace:
Tech Tip: An unbalanced load can also stop the spin cycle — redistribute heavy items before assuming the worst.
A puddle under the washer calls for quick attention before floors are damaged:
Tech Tip: Replace rubber fill hoses every 5 years — a burst hose can release hundreds of gallons.
Wet clothes at cycle end mean the spin isn't reaching full speed:
Tech Tip: This is a very common Samsung and LG complaint — it's usually a repairable part, not a reason to replace the machine.
A washer that walks across the floor needs more than leveling:
Tech Tip: A roaring noise during spin that gets worse over weeks is the classic sign of a tub bearing on its way out.
Dead controls or mid-cycle shutdowns typically trace to:
Tech Tip: Note any error code on the display before you call — it helps us arrive with the right part.
Washer error codes are model- and platform-specific, so there is no safe universal code chart for every appliance. Record the complete display code and model number from the rating label; our technician matches it to the correct manufacturer tech sheet before ordering a part.

Good to Know
Common washer repairs in Tampa, such as a drain pump, door lock, lid switch, belt or water inlet valve, typically cost $150 to $450. A major motor or control-board repair can cost more because of the price of the part. Your technician confirms the diagnosis and the price before any work begins, and our service charge is waived when you approve the repair.
The washer calls we get most are a washer that won't drain, one that won't spin or agitate, and one that is leaking. Standing water usually means a clogged or failed drain pump or a blocked drain hose. A tub that fills but won't move often points to a worn drive belt or coupler, a failed lid switch or door lock, or the motor control board, and leaks usually come from a cracked hose, a worn door boot on a front-loader or the water inlet valve. We test your model before recommending any repair.
Repair is usually the better choice when a washer is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement. A typical washer lasts 10 to 13 years. A major motor, tub, or control-board repair on an older unit can tip the decision toward replacement. We will tell you when repair is not economical.
