My washer in Midland shows a fill error right after our well pump was replaced. Is it broken?

It may just be clogged. Well work often stirs up sediment that lodges in the washer's inlet screens. Clean those first, and if the error continues, we test the inlet valve and controls.

Can iron in my Mount Pleasant well water damage my washer?

Iron mainly stains clothes and the tub and can contribute to valve wear over time. We can replace affected parts and clean the screens. Treating the water itself is the job of a water treatment specialist.

Sediment, iron and the inlet valve

A washer on a private well pulls in whatever the well delivers, including fine sand, sediment and iron. That material collects in the small screens inside the hose connections and the inlet valve, so the machine fills slowly, stops with a fill error or never reaches the right water level. Iron can also leave orange stains on the tub and clothes. After well work or a pump replacement, a burst of sediment can clog things all at once.

Turn off both water valves and unplug the washer before checking anything. Unscrew the fill hoses and look at the screens where they attach to the machine. If the hoses are original rubber, replacing them with braided lines is a sensible precaution, especially in a utility room off the garage where a leak might go unseen.

The technician cleans or replaces screens and valves, tests the pump, lid or door lock and drive system, and quotes before repairing. A sediment filter on the well, installed by a water treatment company, helps protect the new parts. Our washer repairs come with a 90-day parts and 30-day labor warranty.

Before You Book: Washer Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent washer problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Leaking WaterSafety: Turn off both supply valves behind the washer, unplug it, and look for drips at the hose connections and around the drain hose before running another load.
Overfilling with WaterSafety: Turn off both supply valves immediately and unplug the washer; if water still enters with the power off, the valve is stuck.
Burning Smell from WasherSafety: Turn the washer off, unplug it or switch off the breaker, and do not use it again until it is inspected.
Leaking from BottomSafety: Turn off the water, unplug the washer and check that the pump filter cap is tight if your model has one.
