Most South Philadelphia washers live in the basement, often draining into a laundry tub or floor drain that clogs with lint. Damp basement air also keeps the door boot from drying, which is where many odor and leak complaints start.
Basement laundry down a narrow stair is the norm here, and long-held homes often still have their original shutoff valves.

Symptoms and their usual causes
Will not drain or leaves clothes soaking: a sock or coin in the pump, a clogged pump filter on a front-loader, a kinked drain hose, or a failed drain pump. On many models the pump hums when it tries to run against a blockage.
Fills slowly or not at all: clogged screens at the hose connections, a weak inlet valve, or a supply valve that is only partly open. Slow fill also throws off the cycle timing and can trigger an error code.
Leaks: a torn door boot, a loose or cracked fill hose, a leaking pump seal, or oversudsing from too much detergent. Where the water appears, front, back or directly under the tub, is a strong clue.
Shakes, walks or bangs during spin: an unbalanced load, a machine that is not level, worn suspension rods or shocks, or on front-loaders, failing bearings. Shipping bolts left in a newly installed front-loader cause violent shaking on day one.
