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.
