What Lakeview does
to a washer.

Low-rise apartment buildings are common in Central Lakeview, West Lakeview and Wrigleyville.

Vintage high-rises stand beside newer condominiums along North Lake Shore Drive.

Lakeview had 103,050 residents in 2020, making it Chicago's second-largest community area.

Lake Michigan is the second-largest Great Lake by volume, and Chicago's northern neighborhoods get their water from its Jardine plant.

Also known as Lake View.

Mixed housing

Put a modern washer into a vintage laundry corner and it takes on that corner's drain, pipes and outlet, which is where much of its apparent trouble starts. No washer repair in these houses ends before the supply and drain have been tested.

Small homes

Small homes put the washer wherever the plumbing reaches: a hall closet, a stacked pair beside the kitchen or a 24-inch compact under a counter. The drain often goes into a sink or a short standpipe, and a hose pushed too far down can siphon water out of the drum mid-cycle.

Family houses

With kids' uniforms, bedding and play clothes cycling through nearly every day, a family washer wears its pump, belt and shocks out ahead of its years. A new thump on spin or a drain that takes longer each week usually points to one of them.
