Either the valve fails, or there is blockage in the line somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Here's how to check:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span mce_style="font-size: 12pt; font-family:   &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Run a standard wash cycle (preferably empty); the water should begin  filling, and there should be no water running out the drain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is easy to check on an open sump type drain, all you have to do is  follow the drain line going into the sump (a little bit of water is normal).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a closed drain system, you would simply look in the drum to see if  the water level is rising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The water should shut off once it reaches wash level, if it doesn't, and  water level hasn't risen inside the drum, then chances are you either have a  bad drain valve, or some things jammed in the valve holding it open, in  which case you will need to check the line(s).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the water level rises and the water does not shut off (make sure your  not running a flush cycle) the water level switch(es) could be bad (or it  could be the air-line(s) going to the switch(es) sometimes they get plugged or  cracked).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that will cause the water to run continually is if the  water valve sticks on (this being second most common problem) usually the  water will continue to run even when the machine is turned off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just about any size washer should drain in a 30-40 Seconds. So as it  goes into a drain count how many seconds it takes for the drum to empty. If it  goes beyond a minute, chances are you have something caught in the drain line  or drain valve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span mce_style="font-size: 12pt; font-family:   &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt; &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span mce_style="font-size: 18pt; font-family:   &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Valves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span mce_style="font-size: 12pt; font-family:   &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a water valve stuck on chances are it needs a rebuild kit.  Sometimes you can get away with taking it apart and clearing any debris  that might be causing it to hang open.  Before ordering a new rebuild kit  make sure the seat inside the valve body is not cracked (if it is, then the  whole valve will need to be replaced).  Sometimes you can free up a valve just by tapping on it. If that doesn't work you can try turning off the water valve.  (The problem with this is, if it's a hot valve, you will only be able to run cold cycles) some machine have more than one hot, and more  than one cold valve. (I've seen housekeeping staff run a garden hose to the hot  water heater and fill it manually too.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Machine won't start (nothing comes on: display or lights)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First step, check that the breaker or disconnect is on (or that the line  fuses are OK - even though line fuses shouldn’t be used. . .) If that's ok,  check for power where it goes into the machine (j-box) you'll have to use a  volt-meter for that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If power going into the machine is there, check the control fuses (these  are the glass type fuses) be sure to turn power off before checking them.   If you look hard enough you'll find one or two control fuses (usually on  the outside of the machine - Milnors hide there's inside. . .Wascomats hide  there's in the back, Uniwash UW's are on the side, &lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/UniMac-Washer-Dryer-Repair-Service-Los-Angeles" target="_blank" title="unimac"&gt;unimac&lt;/a&gt; UF's are in the front inside the cover-plate, and UC's, SC's, HC's &amp;amp; AT's are under the top  cover).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may also be that the on/off switch is no good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Machine  won't start (Display and/or lights do come on)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though the display lights up, and lights come on, the circuit  breaker or line fuse(s) may still be bad.  Most machines run on a 3 phase system (that's 3 separate 120V lines) the motors use all three lines, however,  the controls (lights, display, water valves, drain valves, computer) only  use one or two of these 120V lines.  So a bad circuit breaker may only be giving two of the 120V lines instead of three.  And likewise, if one of the  line fuses (these are the big copper ones) has blown, the controls will work,  but the motors won't turn.  So be sure to check these first.  If they check out OK, then it may be in the door interlock switch(es) (this  would be the switch(es) located somewhere close to where the door closes)  sometimes the switch hangs up or goes bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may also be the start switch (more usually the case with UC's, HC's,  AT's &amp;amp; SC'c, Wascomats and Milnors. (This would be a good low-cost spare  part to have on hand (see the rec. spare parts list) because it's a whole lot  easier to replace it that it is to test it)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the machine is a newer Uniwash UW series; they install a magnet where  the door handle is, this magnet trips the door interlock switch.  Most people do not even know it's there (until they get hit with the service call) this  magnet breaks off sometimes so be sure to check it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Drum  won't turn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is usually just a broken belt (and most of the time, you can hear  the motor turning even though the belt is broken).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Motor contactors going bad is a common service call. Most of the time  though, they give you some warning because they get noisy before they fail. To  check open the cover to the motor contactors (usually the top cover), start  the machine and watch the contactors to see if they are pulling in, if they  are, it still may be a contactor (there are two parts to a contactor: the coil  and the contacts.  The coil pulls the contactor in, and the contacts provide  power to the motor) you will need to use a voltmeter to check voltage going  into the contactor (I've had more that a few wires come loose from a contactor)  and the voltage going out.  If you have the voltage in, but not out, it's the contactor.  If you have voltage out, it may be a bad motor, see the  motor tech. check page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMPORTANT NOTE: If you determine that it is a bad motor and it's an  'Elmo' motor, and you are going to try and have it rewound at a motor rewind  shop: be sure that the shop is familiar with that procedure (Elmo motors are  European motors... they use a metric winding (not S.A.E.) and they have to be  wound by hand, not by a machine) if a shop tries to do otherwise the motor will  only last 2-3 months at best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Alarms on  the Uniwash UW's &amp;amp; UF's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Uniwash UW's and UF's have alarm codes.  Below is a list of these alarms and what they mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Fill  Alarm:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alarm sounds when the machine doesn't fill with water in a certain  amount of time (usually 5 Min.) This could be a faulty drain valve (see above)  or water valve turned off, or a water fill hose (the one that comes from  the wall) is plugged causing reduced water flow (most water hoses have screens -  they plug up over time).  It may also be a faulty level switch or plugged air-line (read the drain section above)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Empty  Alarm:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alarm sounds when the machine hasn't emptied in the correct amount  of time (usually 1 min.) this is usually the drain valve (see the above drain  section).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Water  Alarm:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alarm sound when water is trapped in the machine, it won't let you  open the door to prevent flooding the room.  This is caused by a faulty or plugged drain.  If you don't see any water in the machine then it's most likely a level switch or the air line that goes to it plugging up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Over-temp  Alarm:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alarm sounds when the computer is getting faulty readings from the temperature sensor.  It needs to be replaced.  It's located in the sump; 2 wires go to it; red and black - to get to it you will need to  remove the front panel.&lt;u4:p&gt;&lt;/u4:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;" mce_style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span mce_style="font-size: 12pt;  font-family: &amp;quot;Times New   Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Dryers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;No Heat  (Drum Turns)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is by far the most common dryer problem of all-time. It's usually a  bad glow-bar or ignition cable, depending upon the type of ignition system  that you have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Glow-Bar  Type Ignitions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The glow-bar system sends electric current through a heating type of  element until it glows hot enough to light the gas (this is used on most older  style dryers) An I.R. sensor (infrared sensor) determines when the glow-bar is  hot enough to light the gas, it then sends a signal to the gas valve to turn  on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To test this system, open the front cover where the burners are; start  the dryer in the heat cycle; you should see the glow bar getting red hot  (the glow-bar sits inside the burner box just above the burner tubes - there are two  types; a round one that has spirals, and a flat one that looks like half of a  coat hanger except smaller. If you have a hard time identifying them go look  at the pictures of them in the store section) If nothing glows you will need to  take a voltage reading across the glow-bar leads (there are 2) as you first  start the dryer.  No voltage means it's something else.  Voltage means replace the bar (a replacement glow-bar should be kept in stock).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the glow-bar lights and does not go off then the I.R. Sensor has failed.  (I usually replace the glow-bar along with the I.R. sensor because one will take the other out, and it's just good maint. procedure  to do as such.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the glow-bar lights for about a minute then goes off and you do not  hear a click sound come from the gas valve (this click sound is the coil in the  gas valve opening) then it's probably a bad gas valve coil (see below).  If the glow-bar lights, then turns off (in about a minute) and the gas  valve clicks on (and you can hear and/or smell that the gas valve is open) the  burner tube holes are plugged and/or the glow-bar needs to be adjusted closer  to the burner tube.  To clean the burner tubes, you can either shoot compressed air into them, or remove them and run water through them.  If it's an older dryer it's best to remove them and run water through them so as to  get all the compressed lint completely out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Spark  Ignition Type&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a spark ignition (looks like a spark plug wire from a  car...in fact it is.) The way that this system works is, instead of lighting the gas  with a glow-bar, it lights it with a spark.  To test the system, open the  burner cover, turn the dryer on in heat mode, you should hear the gas valve  click, and the spark igniter sparking, (in fact, it may even light the gas, but  then goes right back off.)  If this is the case then most likely the ignition  cable is bad.  Most people think that just because they can hear the spark,  and see the gas light that the cable is OK, however, the ignition module sends a  small amount of voltage the opposite direction through ground, through the  fire, and through the high voltage ignition cable back to the ignition unit to let  it know that the gas has lit. If the ignition cable has a even the  slightest crack in the carbon core cable; that small amount of voltage cannot jump that  crack like the higher voltage.... So replace the cable. (if it's a weekend and  your faced with a downed dryer; either buy one from an auto parts store, or  borrow one from someone's car...)  The other thing that it may be is plugged burner tubes, if it looks like there is a lot of lint in the burner  compartment you may want to try blowing out the burner tubes or removing them and  rinsing them out with water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Gas Valve  Coil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not hear the gas valve click (as mentioned above) and you do  have spark or the glow-bar is cycling on and off, then odds are that the coil  on the gas valve is bad (most gas valves have 2 coils as a redundant safety  feature) in all my years of service I've only replaced a couple of entire gas  valves, it's always been the coils that sits on top of it. The coil can be  replaced as a unit (4 -screws hold it on) it usually has 2 or 4 wires going to it.  (It's rec. that this be one of the parts you keep on hand because alot  of times repair techs get back ordered on them).  Be sure to shut off power and  gas before replaced and mark your wires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Sail-Switch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other common problem associated with a no heat condition is when the  sail switch fails to pull in.  The sail switch pulls in when the dryer is started via the air circulation.  If the circulation gets reduced either from heavy lint build up on the lint filter or a blocked exhaust vent  the sail switch won't close all the way and the heat circuit will shut down. (I  use to work in San Francisco, CA and the homeless people would dry their  clothes over the exhaust vents on the roof or in the alleys which caused these sail  switches to open and shut off the heat circuit...i.e. service call) Another thing  that happens alot is the maids would either clean behind the dryers or store  stuff behind them knocking the sail switch out of alignment without knowing it  (alot of sail switches are behind the dryer about a foot above the ground).  There is an adjustable weight on the sail switch, the proper way to  adjust it is: with the dryer off, move the weight just enough so that the  slightest movement will cause the switch to click on (switch should not be tripped  when dryer is off).  Test it by running the dryer, the air circulation should pull it closed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;High  Limit Switch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For years American Dryers put these high limit switches in their  machines that had reset buttons on them (look inside the lint compartment - just under  the basket) If the dryer got too hot the switch would trip.  If this is the case be sure to check the temp. (I would always replace the temp. sensor whenever there was any doubt just to be safe.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other thing with American and Cissell dryers was that the  connections would always come loose inside the lint compartment (housekeeping staff would  knock them loose actually when they would go to clean them) so be sure to  check them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Thermodisks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thermodisks are heat sensors that are about the size of a nickel or  quarter with two screws. They are placed in lint compartments, burner boxes, and exhaust vents. When they heat up to a preset temp. they will open up (electricity won't flow through them) when the dryer is cold you can  check them with a continuity meter (turn power off).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Ignition  Modules&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had a fair amount of ignition modules fail. All you have to do is  take a voltage reading on them when the dryer is first started in the heat cycle.  Voltage will be displayed on ignition module tag (24VAC, 120VAC, 220VAC)  If there isn't any voltage to the module follow the circuit to see if there is a transformer in the it (Cissell dryers actually put  fuses on their transformers for years) I've had a lot of transformers go bad  (especially 24V)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Dryer  In-Op (Nothing comes on)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check circuit breaker.  If it's a 220V machine be sure you have all legs of your power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check your neutral leads (I can't tell you how many times I've seen wire  nuts come loose...) I've also had alot of power cords (especially 120V) go  bad; check them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check control fuses, there's usually more than one. Sometimes they put  them in the computer control board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there is a transformer in the main circuit (There may be two-one for  the heat circuit, the other for the control circuit) be sure to make sure  you have incoming and out going voltage according to the schematic voltage or it  should say on the transformer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Dryer  In-op (Lights come on, Basket won't turn)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure door switch is adjusted properly or hasn't failed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Check  belt or chain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check the conduit going into the motor, sometimes older motors get hot  and the mount fails causing them to rotate in their craddle and pulling out the  conduit and wires.  After repairing the wires you can run a large hose clamp around the motor so as to secure it.  This will keep you going long  enough until it's replaced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the dryer works only while you hold the start button on, it means the  start circuit in the motor has failed (120V - 220V single phase system) I've  seen people put tape over the button, however this should only be a temp. fix...replace the motor.  For a three phase system, it's most likely the start relay is bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to check the main start contactor, these seem to fail quite  frequently, they are usually located behind the dryer in the rear control panel.&lt;u4:p&gt;&lt;/u4:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;" mce_style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span mce_style="font-size: 12pt;  font-family: &amp;quot;Times New   Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;u4:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;" lang="EN-US"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u4:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span mce_style="font-size: 4pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New   Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; color: #ccffff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 4pt; color: rgb(204, 255, 204);" lang="EN-US"&gt;Speed Queen Discount Parts, &lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/Speed-Queen-Washer-Dryer-Repair-Service-Los-Angeles" target="_blank" title="Speed Queen"&gt;Speed Queen&lt;/a&gt; Parts, Speed Queen  motors, Speed Queen Discount motors, Commercial Speed Queen Motors, Discount Commercial  Speed Queen Parts, Commercial Speed Queen Discount Parts, Commercial Speed Queen  Parts, Discount Hays valve, Discount Hays water valve, Discount Hays water  valves, Hays water valves, Wholesale Hays water valves, Wholesale Hays steam  valves, Discount Parker valve, Discount Parker steam valve, Discount Parker  water valves, Discount Parker water valve, Wholesale Parker water valves,  Wholesale Parker Steam Valves, Hays Steam Valves, Parker rebuild kits, Hays  rebuild kits, Solenoid valves, 2-way solenoid valves, Parker solenoid valves, Hays  solenoid valves, Discount Parker solenoid valves, Discount Hays solenoid valves,  Unimac, Uniwash, UW, UF, UC, UM100, UM202, UM300, &lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/Huebsch-Washer-Dryer-Repair-Service-Los-Angeles" target="_blank" title="Huebsch"&gt;Huebsch&lt;/a&gt;, Speed Queen, &lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/Maytag-Washer-Dryer-Repair-Service-Los-Angeles" target="_blank" title="Maytag"&gt;Maytag&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/IPSO-Washer-Dryer-Repair-Service-Los-Angeles" target="_blank" title="IPSO"&gt;IPSO&lt;/a&gt;, OPL, Commercial, industrial washers, dryers, extractors, Laundries,  Discount Uniwash Motors, Hays valve, Hays Valve kits, Parker valve, Parker Gold  Ring Series, Parker Gold Ring series 25, H5, Parker Gold Ring series S,  22,23, Parker Valve, two-way piloted valve, Parker rebuild kit, Dependo drain  valve, Allen Bradley inverter drive, HIM unit, Parameter unit, gotronic  rotation detector, Gas Valve coil, Ignition Module, spark ignition module,door  solenoid, contactor, microswitch, Elmo motor, Keypad, WE6, WE5A,WE5B, Output board  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7664165278865525580-5287302921844251384?l=affordablelaundry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/feeds/5287302921844251384/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/2010/04/commercial-washer-and-dryer-problems.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664165278865525580/posts/default/5287302921844251384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664165278865525580/posts/default/5287302921844251384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/2010/04/commercial-washer-and-dryer-problems.html' title='Commercial Washer and Dryer Problems'/><author><name>Affordable Laundry Solutions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14849895402190998554</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664165278865525580.post-1358414404377652917</id><published>2010-04-18T17:08:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-18T17:08:58.260-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Front-Loading Washers and Dryers</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="moduletable-blue"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why isn't my dryer drying my  clothes?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="moduletable-blue"&gt; The dryer  vent may be blocked, lint screen may be fully covered, or the heating  element is malfunctioning. Review my tips on dryer venting to be sure  you unit complies. If your dryer vent is blocked, it is a fire hazard  and it would be better for you not to run the dryer for an extended  period. Never use white plastic exhaust duct on any dryer! The plastic  is not only flammable; it dramatically increases drying time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How  often should I have my dryer professionally cleaned?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  &lt;span class="moduletable-blue"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/" target="_blank" title="Affordable Laundry Solutions"&gt;Affordable Laundry Solutions&lt;/a&gt;  recommends once a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why isn't my washer draining?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It could be a worn belt, a broken coupler, a clogged water pump, a bad  motor, or a pinched drain hose. If you're stumped...CALL US!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My  washer and/or dryer broke down. How quickly can you be here?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We  can service your washer or dryer today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What are the  advantages of a front load washer?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Front load efficiency  reduces annual water costs by nearly 70%. Front loaders typically use 40  percent less water than top-loaders. Their tumble action uses water  movement to clean rather than an agitator--and this requires much less  water. Over the course of a year the average family could save enough  water to fill a backyard pool!&lt;br /&gt;* Front load washers use up to 75%  less electricity to run because continuously rotating action requires  less energy than alternating agitation.&lt;br /&gt;*Front loaders have a  king-size capacity, enabling you to wash two baskets of laundry in a  single load.&lt;br /&gt;*Front load washers and dryers automatically customize  each laundry load for better stain removal. Advanced rinse technology  incorporates a fresh water rinse for whiter whites, brighter colors and  clothing that smells and feels fresher.&lt;br /&gt;* Front loaders feature  whisper-quiet washing and the spin cycle is so efficient that wash time  equals dry time--so you make fewer trips to the laundry room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do  your replacement parts come with a warranty?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, 90 days on  the part that is replaced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do your new machines have the same  warranty as Sears or Best Buy?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, all our new machines come  with a factory warranty. We also provide extended warranty plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;             &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4 class="moduletable-blue"&gt;Front Loading Washing  Machine Tips&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="moduletable-blue"&gt; *Make sure your  machine is level.&lt;br /&gt;*Keep your washing machine clean by adding 1/2  gallon (2 litres) of vinegar and let the machine run through an entire  wash cycle. Do this once a year to keep your machine sparkling.&lt;br /&gt; *Make sure your hose screens are clean.&lt;br /&gt;*Avoid over loading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;h4 class="moduletable-blue"&gt;Front Loading Dryer Tips&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;span class="moduletable-blue"&gt; *Clean lint screen after each use.&lt;br /&gt;*Have  dryer professional cleaned once a year.&lt;br /&gt;*Keep your dryer's outside  exhaust clean.&lt;br /&gt;*If your dryer has an automatic dry cycle, use it  rather than a timed cycle.&lt;br /&gt;*Separate loads into light and heavy  items (underwear and rugs do better if kept apart!) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7664165278865525580-1358414404377652917?l=affordablelaundry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/feeds/1358414404377652917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/2010/04/front-loading-washers-and-dryers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664165278865525580/posts/default/1358414404377652917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664165278865525580/posts/default/1358414404377652917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/2010/04/front-loading-washers-and-dryers.html' title='Front-Loading Washers and Dryers'/><author><name>Affordable Laundry Solutions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14849895402190998554</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664165278865525580.post-1504567877909419045</id><published>2010-04-18T17:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-18T17:08:14.691-07:00</updated><title type='text'>13 Ways to Save on Laundry Costs</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Laundry can be as expensive or &lt;/b&gt;as inexpensive as you want it to  be, depending on what measures you take to cut the costs.  Here are 13  different ways to save on the cost of doing laundry, ranging from quick  and easy to long-term solutions.  Not all tips are right for every  family; just choose the ones you can work into your current system today  and enjoy lower utility and &lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/" target="_blank" title="laundry supply"&gt;laundry supply&lt;/a&gt; bills!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13  Ways to Save on Laundry Costs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Buy Energy Star rated  appliances. &lt;/b&gt; That Energy Star emblem means they use less energy in a  more efficient manner and will cost you less to  use.  When replacing  old or worn out appliances, check first for the Energy Star on your  replacement choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Cut dryer sheets in half. &lt;/b&gt; One box  lasts twice as long when you cut the sheets in half.  As soon as you  open the box, break out the scissors and enjoy cutting your dryer sheet  expenses by 50%!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Dilute laundry detergent in the bottle  with water. &lt;/b&gt; Save your empty laundry detergent bottles.  When you  open a fresh one, pour half into the empty bottle.  You now have 2  bottles half full of detergent waiting to be filled with water.  You can  fill water all the way to the top or 2/3 full, depending on the savings  you want.  Diluted detergent will get your clothing just as clean, and  if you’re used to filling the cap (or your family members are), this  trick will save you. Most of us use more detergent than recommended or  necessary anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Use less detergent and liquid fabric  softener.  Are you strong enough to skip the diluting and just use  less?  More power to you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Clean the lint trap before every  load of laundry. &lt;/b&gt; A clean lint trap lets your dryer work more  efficiently and dries clothes faster.  Spend the extra 20 seconds and  empty it before you start the dryer.  Plus, a clean lint trap cuts down  the risk of a dryer fire - how about that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Line dry your  clothes. &lt;/b&gt; String up a line, buy some cheap wooden clothes pins, and  you’re in business.  Zero energy use and it costs exactly $0 to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7.  Create a hybrid drying routine. &lt;/b&gt; Maybe you don’t like line drying  because of the possible clothing stiffness.  Maybe you can’t use a  clothesline because of space limitations, like living in an apartment  with no yard.  If you can’t convert wholly to the clothesline method for  whatever reason, create a hybrid routine that still has you using your  electric dryer, but only half as much.  Hang items to dry over shower  curtain rods, hang from ceiling fans, or clotheslines for part of the  time, dryer for the rest.  Get soft clothes with half the energy use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8.  Do less laundry.&lt;/b&gt; Wear jeans more than once, use bath towels more  than once.  Sweaters and jackets can also be worn more than once if you  wear them layered with a shirt underneath.  Make sure you hang up  clothes that can be worn again so that they’re not washed by mistake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.  Double up 1/2 loads of laundry and only dry full loads.&lt;/b&gt;  Put your  half load of washed whites in the dryer and let them wait until your  next half load is complete.  Dry as one full load and cut the energy  cost in half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Dry loads back to back if possible to keep  the dryer &lt;/b&gt;from heating up again (save time and energy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;11.  Double spin clothes in the washer.  &lt;/b&gt;After your washing machine is  done, turn the knob to "Spin only" and spin the clothes a second time.   The centrifugal motion (spinning) helps to get extra water out of the  clothes, which in turn take less time to dry in the dryer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12.  Use vinegar in the wash instead of fabric softener (1/4 cup).&lt;/b&gt;   Smaller loads need smaller amounts, unless you want to smell vinegar on  your clean clothes!  This cheap alternative to liquid fabric softener  will save money on your laundry supply budget for certain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13.  Wash in the coldest temperature recommended for your clothes. &lt;/b&gt; Save  your water heater from firing up to heat the water when possible.  Cold  wash temperatures will also help to preserve the fibers in the material  of your clothing, meaning it won’t wear out as fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By  Homemaker Barbi - Danelle Ice | June 26th, 2008 | Category: How to Save  on...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7664165278865525580-1504567877909419045?l=affordablelaundry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/feeds/1504567877909419045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/2010/04/13-ways-to-save-on-laundry-costs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664165278865525580/posts/default/1504567877909419045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664165278865525580/posts/default/1504567877909419045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://affordablelaundry.blogspot.com/2010/04/13-ways-to-save-on-laundry-costs.html' title='13 Ways to Save on Laundry Costs'/><author><name>Affordable Laundry Solutions</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14849895402190998554</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664165278865525580.post-4459928076818208070</id><published>2010-04-18T16:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-18T16:56:49.473-07:00</updated><title type='text'>About Us - Affordable Laundry Services</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="article-rel-wrapper"&gt;       &lt;h2 class="contentheading"&gt;         &lt;a href="http://www.affordablelaundry.com/About-Us-Affordable-Laundry-Services" class="contentpagetitle"&gt;About Us - Affordable Laundry Services&lt;/a&gt;        &lt;/h2&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;                      &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hello, we are a family business that started in 2008.
