What to Know About Alexandria West & Seminary Road
22311 is Alexandria West, the part of the city clustered around the I-395 interchange at Seminary Road. Southern Towers' high-rise apartment buildings rise beside the highway, the Mark Center offices stand nearby, and garden apartment complexes and townhouses spread along Beauregard Street. The Alexandria campus of Northern Virginia Community College sits within the ZIP, and wooded stream valleys break up the blocks of buildings.
The ZIP is part of the City of Alexandria, governed from City Hall, with no county involved. Water comes from Virginia American Water, the same as in Old Town.
Housing here is overwhelmingly multifamily: brick garden apartments from the mid-20th century, high-rise towers with long corridors of units, and townhouse developments of various ages. Most units are rentals or condominiums, and the kitchens and laundry setups were designed for small spaces.
Getting into a large building
Large complexes in 22311 often have a leasing or management office that must know about a repair visit, and towers like Southern Towers may require a service elevator reservation. If you rent, check with management first; some repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Give us the building, entrance and unit number when you book, along with a contact number for the front desk if there is one.
Compact kitchens, electric cooking
Kitchens in 22311's apartments and towers are generally small and electric. Ranges are often 24- or 30-inch freestanding units with coil or smooth-top surfaces, refrigerators are standard or apartment-size top-freezer models, and many units have an over-the-range microwave that recirculates. Dishwashers, where present, may be 18-inch models.
Laundry tends to be a stacked washer-dryer in a closet, or a shared laundry room in the older garden apartments.
Building plumbing and dryer ducts
In large buildings, a drain problem can start in a shared stack rather than in the appliance. A dishwasher that backs up or a washer that drains slowly may be affected by a partial blockage the building needs to clear.
Dryer ducts in towers often run through the ceiling to an exterior wall, sometimes a long distance, and lint buildup there slows drying. Some newer units use ventless dryers, which need their filters and condensers kept clean.
Leaks from above and outages
Water coming through a ceiling from an upstairs unit can reach a refrigerator's controls or a range's wiring. If that happens, unplug the appliance and let it dry before using it. Power interruptions can leave refrigerators and freezers needing a control reset, and an appliance that does not resume normal operation should be checked.

Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
Check your lease first. In many rentals the landlord is responsible for appliance repairs and arranges service. If the appliance is yours, or your landlord asks you to arrange the visit, we can help.
Usually. Most repairs can be done in place, though the dryer sometimes has to be lifted off to reach the washer's top. A clear floor in front of the closet makes the work easier.
