Washing machines can experience various issues over time.
Over the years, NWAR experts have seen these are the most common washing machine issues:
Not spinning: The washing machine may not spin properly, which can be caused by a faulty motor, belt, or lid switch.
Not draining: If the water does not drain from the machine, it could indicate a clogged drain pump, blocked hose, or malfunctioning pump.
Leaking: Leaks can occur due to damaged hoses, loose connections, or a faulty water inlet valve.
Excessive vibration: Washing machines can vibrate excessively, leading to noise and potential damage. This can be caused by an unbalanced load, uneven floor, or worn-out suspension or shock absorbers.
Noisy operation: Unusual noises during operation can be caused by problems with the motor, bearings, belt, or other components.
Overfilling or underfilling: If the machine fills with too much or too little water, it could be due to a faulty water level sensor, inlet valve, or pressure switch.
Failure to start: If the washing machine does not start when the power is on, it may be due to a faulty door latch, control board, or power supply issue.
Foul odour: Accumulated dirt, detergent residue, or mould growth can lead to a bad odour in the washing machine.
Display or control panel issues: Problems with the display or control panel, such as unresponsive buttons or error codes, can occur due to electronic failures or faulty wiring.
Keep in mind that these It’s are general issues, and specific models and brands may have their own unique problems.

This depends on the cost of the repairs.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend choosing repairs if the costs are 50% less than the price of a new washing machine.
In this case, fixing the washing machine will be much cheaper. If you’re not sure about the costs, call us. We will give you a free estimate over the phone so you can make an informed decision.
With that said, there are other points to consider when it comes to washing machine repair costs:
Age of the machine: If your washing machine is relatively new and still under warranty, it’s more cost-effective to have it repaired. But, if the machine is older and approaching the end of its expected lifespan, investing in repairs may not be a good idea.
Complexity of the problem: Some issues, such as a broken belt or a clogged hose, can be relatively inexpensive to fix. Moreso if the cost of the parts is included in the price of repairs, and the parts themselves are backed up by warranties.
However, if the problem is more complex and requires replacing major components like the motor or control board, the repair costs may be higher and could make buying a new machine more financially sensible.
Long-term reliability: Consider the overall condition of the washing machine. If it has had multiple repairs in the past, it’s likely that more issues will arise in the future. In such cases, it might be wiser to invest in a new machine with a warranty and improved energy efficiency.
If you decide to purchase a new washing machine, our technicians can help you install it.
There could be several reasons why your washing machine is not spinning. According to our technicians, here are some common causes to consider:
Unbalanced load: An unbalanced load of laundry can prevent the machine from spinning. If the load is too heavy on one side or the items are tangled, the machine’s built-in safety mechanisms may prevent the spin cycle from starting.
To fix this, open the machine, redistribute the load evenly, and ensure that the clothes are properly spread out.
Lid or door switch issue: Most washing machines have a safety mechanism that prevents spinning when the lid or door is open. If the switch is faulty or not engaging properly, the machine may not spin.
To fix this, check the lid or door switch to ensure it is functioning correctly. Clean the switch if necessary. If this doesn’t solve the problem, the switch may need to be replaced.
Faulty drive belt: The drive belt connects the motor to the drum in some washing machine models. If the belt is worn, stretched, or broken, it can cause the machine not to spin.
To fix this, inspect the drive belt for any signs of damage or wear. It may need replacing.
Motor problems: A malfunctioning motor can prevent the drum from spinning. Motor issues can range from faulty wiring to a burnt-out motor.
To fix this, please call a professional technician so they can diagnose and repair the issue.
Malfunctioning control board: The control board regulates the various functions of the washing machine, including the spin cycle. If there is a problem with the control board, it may not initiate the spinning action.
To fix this, it’s best to have a technician examine and potentially replace the control board.
If basic troubleshooting steps like redistributing the load or ensuring the lid/door switch is working do not resolve the problem, call us. One of our technicians can diagnose and repair the issue so you can go back to your routine as soon as possible.
If your washing machine is washing but not rinsing or spinning, it could be due to the following reasons (according to our technicians):
Clogged or faulty drain pump: If the drain pump is clogged or not functioning correctly, it can prevent the water from draining, which in turn affects the rinsing and spinning cycles.
Solution: Check the drain pump for any blockages, such as lint, debris, or foreign objects. Clean the pump and its filter if necessary.
If the pump is faulty, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
Blocked or kinked drain hose: A blocked or kinked drain hose can restrict water flow and prevent proper drainage, leading to issues with rinsing and spinning.
Solution: Inspect the drain hose for any blockages or kinks. Clear any obstructions and ensure the hose is properly positioned and not twisted or bent.
Faulty lid or door switch: Most washing machines have a safety mechanism that prevents the rinse and spin cycles from starting if the lid or door is open. If the switch is faulty or not engaging properly, it can cause the machine to skip these cycles.
Solution: Check the lid or door switch to ensure it is functioning correctly. If necessary, clean the switch, or replace it (preferably with the help of a technician).
Overloaded or unbalanced load: An overloaded or unbalanced load can trigger the washing machine’s safety features and prevent the rinsing and spinning cycles from starting.
Solution: Reduce the load size or redistribute the items evenly in the drum. Make sure the load is balanced to allow proper spinning.
There could be additional causes, such as a malfunctioning motor, drive belt, or pressure switch, that affect the rinsing and spinning cycles. These issues may require professional attention.
