What should I do first when my washer breaks?

First, check the easy fixes: make sure it is plugged in and the breaker is not tripped, verify water valves are fully open, clean the drain filter, and check for load imbalance. If these do not work, consider using a laundry pickup service like Foam for same-day turnaround instead of waiting days for a repair technician.
