What Near North Side does
to a washer.

It is the city's most densely populated community area and has the second-most skyscrapers after the Loop.

Its northern boundary, North Avenue, was Chicago's city limit in the early nineteenth century.

The city's 2025 quarterly chemical tests put the hardness of its treated lake water at about 126 to 143 milligrams per liter as calcium carbonate.

Tower living

Spin vibration travels through a tower's structure more easily than most owners expect, and a washer with worn shocks or unlevel feet can be heard by the neighbors. Building management may also set the hours when water can be shut off and when noisy work is allowed.

Small homes

In a tight laundry closet the supply hoses behind the washer are often bent hard against the wall when the machine is pushed back, which restricts the fill and stresses the fittings. Leaving a hand's width behind the cabinet and using hoses with angled ends solves most of it.

Designed laundry rooms

The washers in these homes are often European front-loaders or premium models with auto-dosing and steam, and repairing them calls for brand-specific parts and diagnostics rather than generic ones.
