Signs It Needs Repairing
-
It’s Making Loud or Strange Noises
Banging, grinding, or whining noises may point to broken bearings, a loose drum, or motor issues. -
Water Isn’t Draining or Spinning Properly
If clothes are soaking wet or water is sitting in the drum, your pump or belt could be failing. -
It Leaks During or After a Cycle
Puddles under your machine may mean a worn door seal, cracked hose, or internal damage. -
The Door Won’t Open or Lock
Faulty interlocks or control panel errors can stop your machine from starting or unlocking safely. -
Error Codes Keep Appearing
Modern machines will display fault codes—these can often be fixed with a technician’s help.
Signs It Needs Maintenance
-
Unpleasant Odours or Mold Build up
This indicates the drum or door seal needs cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents this. -
It Vibrates Excessively
A machine that “walks” or shakes violently might just need levelling or balancing. -
Your Wash Cycles Are Taking Longer
Build-up of detergent or blockages in filters can slow down cycles or affect performance. -
Water Pressure Seems Weak
Clogged inlet valves or limescale buildup can reduce water flow into the machine. -
You Haven’t Serviced It in Over a Year
Like any appliance, your washer benefits from annual check-ups to keep it running efficiently.
Signs It Might Be Time to Replace
-
It’s Over 10 Years Old
Older dryers are less efficient, and parts become harder to source. -
You’ve Repaired It Multiple Times
If you’ve called for service more than twice in a year, a replacement may save you money long-term. -
It Consumes Too Much Energy
Modern dryers are far more energy-efficient—especially heat pump or condenser models. -
Visible Damage or Rust Inside the Drum
A corroded drum can snag or damage clothes and often isn’t worth fixing. -
You Need a Larger or Quieter Model
New machines offer better features like smart controls, quieter operation, and faster cycles.
