❓ Why is my washer shaking excessively during cycles?

If your washer is shaking or vibrating excessively, it could be caused by several common issues:

  1. Unbalanced load – Unevenly distributed clothes can cause the drum to shake.
  2. Washer not level – Make sure all four feet are firmly on the floor and properly adjusted.
  3. Worn shock absorbers or suspension springs – These components stabilize the drum during cycles.
  4. Damaged drum bearings – Worn bearings can lead to excessive noise and vibration.
  5. Overloading the washer – Exceeding the recommended capacity can cause instability.

For professional washer repair, BestServe Appliances can inspect, diagnose, and fix the issue, ensuring smooth and safe operation. Call (587) 406-0555 or email info@bestserve.ca to schedule a service.

❓ Why isn’t my dryer heating?

If your dryer isn’t heating, it could be caused by several common issues:

  2. Tripped thermal fuse – Safety components may shut off the heating function if the dryer overheats.
  3. Blocked vent or lint buildup – Restricted airflow can cause the dryer to run without heating properly.
  4. Defective thermostat or temperature sensor – These components regulate heat, and malfunction can prevent proper heating.
