A family in Clearwater, FL called us in a panic: their Maytag top-load washer was stuck full of water and wouldn’t drain. They’d tried running another cycle, unplugging it, and even bailing the water — nothing worked. They found us online searching for “washer repair near me”, and we got there same day.

🔍 After a quick diagnostic, we found the issue: a failed drain pump motor. The washer was trying to drain but couldn’t push the water out. We replaced the pump on-site using an OEM part and ran a test cycle. Within an hour, the washer was draining and spinning like new.
