Some of the most common washing machine repairs our technicians have seen include:
Clogged or malfunctioning drain pump: A clogged drain pump can prevent water from draining properly, leading to issues such as standing water in the drum or an incomplete cycle. Cleaning or replacing the drain pump can resolve this problem.
Faulty door latch or interlock switch: If the door of the washing machine doesn’t latch properly or the interlock switch fails, the machine may not start or complete its cycle. Replacing the door latch or interlock switch can solve this issue.
Malfunctioning water inlet valve: If the water inlet valve is faulty, the washing machine may not fill with water or may experience low water pressure. Replacing the water inlet valve can resolve this problem.
Broken or worn-out drive belt: The drive belt transfers power from the motor to the drum. If it is broken or worn out, the drum may not spin. Replacing the drive belt can restore proper functionality.
Damaged or worn-out motor coupler: The motor coupler connects the motor to the transmission. If it is broken or worn out, the drum may not spin or agitate. Replacing the motor coupler can fix this issue.
Defective timer or control board: A malfunctioning timer or control board can result in various issues, such as the machine not starting, not advancing through the cycles, or not responding to user inputs. Repairing or replacing the timer or control board can resolve these problems.
Leaking hoses or faulty water pump: Leaking hoses or a malfunctioning water pump can lead to water leakage during the wash or drain cycles. Repairing or replacing the hoses or water pump can fix this issue.
Overloaded or unbalanced load sensor: If the load in the washing machine is unevenly distributed or exceeds the recommended capacity, the machine may stop or display error codes. Resetting or calibrating the load sensor can address this problem.
Clogged or dirty filters: Accumulated debris and lint in the filters can hinder water flow and affect the washing machine’s performance. Cleaning or replacing the filters can help restore proper functioning.
Malfunctioning temperature sensor or thermostat: If the temperature sensor or thermostat is faulty, the washing machine may not reach the desired water temperature or may experience issues with the heating element. Replacing these components can resolve temperature-related problems.

Deciding whether it’s worth fixing a broken washing machine depends on a few factors:
The extent of the problem: Assess the severity of the issue with your washing machine. Minor issues, such as a clogged filter or a faulty switch, can often be repaired quickly and for a low price.
But a motor failure or a major transmission issue are severe problems, which could increase the cost of the repair.
Age of the washing machine: For new washing machines, it’s best to repair them. Also for those who still are within the expected lifespan.
But if the washer is old and/or has a history of multiple issues, it may not be worth fixing.
Repair cost vs. replacement cost: If the repair cost is 50% or less than the price of a new washing machine, repairing it is the sensible choice.
But if the repair cost is close to or exceeds the cost of a new washing machine, it may be more practical to replace it.
We can give you a free quote over the phone, so you know the repair costs and can make a good decision according to your needs.
Potential lifespan: If repairing your washing machine can extend its lifespan significantly and make it function like new, it may be worth the investment.
However, if the repair only provides a short-term fix or there are indications that other components may fail soon, it may be more logical to invest in a new machine.
Energy efficiency: Newer models are generally more energy-efficient, which can lead to long-term cost savings on electricity and water bills. If your current machine is inefficient and requires frequent repairs, replacing it with a newer, energy-efficient model may be a more cost-effective option in the long run.
Warranty and professional advice: Check if your washing machine is still under warranty. If it is, repairs may be covered, making it more economical to get it fixed.
Additionally, consulting with a professional technician can provide insight into the specific problem, potential repair costs, and the overall condition of the machine, helping you make an informed decision.
The ease of fixing a washing machine can vary depending on:
– The specific problem.
– Your level of experience.
– Your expertise in appliance repair.
Some washing machine issues can be relatively simple to diagnose and fix, while others may require more advanced knowledge and specialized tools.
With that said, here are a few factors to consider when assessing the ease of fixing a washing machine:
Problem identification: Identifying the specific problem with the washing machine is the first step in the repair process. Some common issues, such as a clogged filter or a faulty switch, can be relatively straightforward to diagnose and fix with basic troubleshooting steps.
Repair knowledge: Your level of knowledge and familiarity with washing machine components, electrical systems, and plumbing connections can impact the ease of repair.
If you have experience with appliance repair or have successfully fixed similar issues in the past, you may find it easier to address common washing machine problems.
However, if you lack experience or are uncertain about the repair process, it will be more challenging.
Accessibility of parts: Availability and accessibility of replacement parts can affect the ease of washing machine repair.
If the required parts are readily available and compatible with your washing machine model, it can simplify the repair process.
But if the parts are difficult to find or require ordering from specialized suppliers, it may add complexity and time to the repair.
It’s worth noting that our technicians don’t have this problem, as they carry spare parts with them at all times, to quickly repair your washing machine.
Safety considerations: It’s important to prioritize safety when working with appliances.
Washing machines involve electrical connections and water sources, so it’s crucial to take proper safety precautions and, if necessary, disconnect the power supply and shut off the water before attempting any repairs.
If you are unfamiliar with electrical or plumbing work, it may be best to seek professional assistance to ensure safety and avoid further damage.
In summary, while some washing machine repairs can be relatively straightforward, others require more advanced skills and knowledge.
If you feel comfortable with appliance repair, have the necessary tools, and the problem is relatively simple, you may be able to handle the repair yourself.
But if you’re unsure or the problem is more complex, consult a professional appliance repair technician to ensure a safe and effective repair.
Our technicians have seen these are the most common causes why a washing machine may stop working:
Power issues: If the washing machine is not receiving power, it won’t function. Check if the machine is properly plugged in and that the power outlet is working.
Additionally, ensure that any circuit breakers or fuses associated with the washing machine are not tripped or blown.
Faulty door latch or interlock switch: Washing machines typically have a door latch or interlock switch that needs to be engaged for the machine to operate. If the latch or switch is faulty or not properly aligned, the machine may not start or complete its cycle.
Control board or timer problems: The control board or timer controls the various functions and cycles of the washing machine. If there is a malfunction with these components, the machine may not start or advance through the cycles as intended.
Water supply issues: A washing machine requires a proper water supply to operate. If there is a problem with the water inlet valve, water hoses, or water pressure, the machine may not fill with water or may not have sufficient water flow for proper functioning.
Drainage problems: If the drainage system is clogged or the drain pump is faulty, the washing machine may not drain water properly. This can lead to issues such as standing water in the drum or an incomplete cycle.
Motor or drive belt issues: The motor and drive belt are responsible for powering the drum’s movement in a washing machine. If the motor is faulty or the drive belt is broken or worn out, the drum may not spin or agitate.
Sensor or thermostat problems: Washing machines often have sensors or thermostats that monitor and regulate factors like water temperature or load balance. If these sensors or thermostats are faulty, the machine may not operate correctly or may display error codes.
Overload or unbalanced load: If the washing machine is overloaded or the load inside is not distributed evenly, it may stop to prevent damage. This is a safety mechanism to protect the machine from excessive strain.
Component wear and tear: Like any mechanical device, washing machines can experience wear and tear over time. Components such as bearings, belts, or pulleys may wear out or become damaged, resulting in the machine not functioning properly.
These are just some of the common causes of a washing machine not working. Specific causes can vary depending on the make and model of the machine.
If you’re experiencing the above issues or others with your washing machine, consult the user manual for troubleshooting.
If that doesn’t help, give us a call. One of our qualified appliance repair technicians will fix your washing machine.
