Signs your washing machine needs a professional repair

Tips from washing machine repair experts

Washing machines are essential household appliances, making our laundry chores much easier. However, like all machines, they can develop issues over time. At Go Assist, we specialise in diagnosing and fixing washing machine problems quickly and efficiently. Here are some signs that indicate your washing machine needs a professional repair.

1. Unusual noises

Hearing strange sounds like grinding, banging, or humming? These noises often indicate issues with the motor, drum, or other internal components.

2. Leaking water

If you notice water pooling around your washing machine, it could be due to a damaged hose, faulty door seal, or other internal leaks.

3. Drum not spinning 

A drum that doesn't spin or spins erratically can result from a broken melt, motor issues, or problems with the control panel.

4. Not draining properly 

When your washing machine fails to drain, it might be a sign of a clogged drain pump, faulty pump, or a problem with the drain hose.

5. Excessive vibration

Excessive shaking or vibrating can be caused by an unbalanced load, but if it persists, it could indicate more serious mechanical issues. 

6. Error codes

Modern washing machines display error codes when something goes wrong. These codes can point to specific issues that need professional attention.

7. Bad odours 

Persistent bad odours, even after cleaning, can indicate mould or mildew buildup inside the machine or the need for a more thorough internal clean.

8. Overheating 

If your washing machine is getting too hot, it could be a sign of an electrical problem that needs immediate attention.

9. Poor washing results 

When clothes come out still dirty or soapy, it might be due to issues with the detergent dispenser, water inlet valve, or other internal parts.

10. Power issues

A washing machine that won't turn on or off, or that turns off mid-cycle, may have electrical or control panel problems that require professional repair.
