(469) 638-3215Washer won’t drain, won’t spin, leaking or showing an error code? ALAS Appliance Repair diagnoses and fixes front-load, top-load and stacked washers across Highland Park, from Highland Park Village and the Preston Road corridor to Beverly Drive, Lakeside Drive and Armstrong Parkway.
Business Profile

Washer repair in Highland Park often happens upstairs. Many of the new homes built after teardowns put the main laundry room near the bedrooms, and some add a second laundry closet elsewhere in the house. On a second floor, even a slow drip from a fill hose or a worn door boot can travel into plaster ceilings, crown molding and finished millwork below before anyone notices. A drain pan, braided steel hoses and a leak sensor are simple protection in houses finished to this level.
Not every home here is a detached house. About a third of Highland Park housing is attached or multifamily, where a stacked washer and dryer may sit in a compact closet with little room to pull the machines forward. European front-loaders from brands such as Miele are popular in both settings, and their door gaskets and drain pump filters need regular cleaning in a warm laundry room. When booking, mention the washer’s location, whether it is stacked, and the symptom: a leak, a drain failure or an error code.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Highland Park from Highland Park Village and the Preston Road and Mockingbird Lane corridors to Beverly Drive, Lakeside Drive, Armstrong Parkway, Exall Lake and the neighborhoods west of Preston.

Yes. We work on Miele and other European front-load washers, along with the major American brands, in upstairs and main-floor laundry rooms. Tell us about stairs, the laundry door width and whether the machine sits on a pedestal or in a cabinet. If the washer is leaking right now, turn off the supply valves behind it and keep towels down until the visit.
Check with your building manager or association about contractor rules, parking, service elevator use and any paperwork the building requires, then share those details when you book. Stacked units in condominium closets sometimes need to be separated or pulled out for access, so measuring the closet opening ahead of time helps us plan the visit.
When one machine drains well and the other does not, the problem is usually local to that washer: a clogged drain pump filter, a kinked drain hose or a partial blockage in that room’s standpipe. Clean the pump filter first, following the manual. If the error returns, a technician can test the pump and trace the drain path to find the restriction.
