What people here ask us first.
Because most freezers are not rated for the temperature a Palm Desert garage reaches. The climate here is extreme heat, and once the air around the cabinet passes what the compressor was designed for, the unit runs continuously and still loses the interior. People read that as a failing compressor when the compressor is working exactly as built, in conditions it was never specified for. The newer stock helps slightly, with about 32.4 percent of homes predating 1980, but an attached garage still runs far hotter than the rooms next to it. Worth knowing before you pay for a repair: a garage-rated unit is built for this and a kitchen unit is not, so if the appliance is a standard indoor freezer living in a garage, the honest answer is sometimes that the appliance is wrong for the location rather than broken. We will tell you that on the visit.
Leaks are a common washer repair and the one to act on fastest, because a leaking washer damages the floor and the wall behind it long before the washer fails. The usual sources, from the front of the machine back: on a front loader, the door boot gasket, which tears, or holds a pin or a coin that cuts it, or simply grows mold in the fold; the dispenser drawer and its hoses, which overflow when they clog with detergent residue; the drain pump and its hoses; the inlet valve and the fill hoses at the back, which are the most common cause of a sudden large leak and should be replaced with braided steel hoses if they are the old rubber type; and on older machines, the tub seal, which weeps from the bottom of the tub and, on a front loader, is the first sign of the bearings going.
Most of these are inexpensive repairs. The exception is the tub seal on a front loader, because it comes with the bearing job, and that is the one to weigh against the machine's age.
If water is on the floor, close the taps behind the washer first. Our diagnostic visit is a flat $89, credited to the repair when you go ahead, and a leak call includes a look at all the usual sources, not only the one that is dripping.
