Essential FAQs for Efficient Washer Dryer Repair Services

Your washer-dryer making loud noises could be because of worn out drum bearings, loose parts, unbalanced load or foreign items caught in the drum. Rebalance the washing load if necessary, and search for loose change or other items that are nor supposed to be there. Book a repair engineer to check on the drum bearings and for loose components.

Your washer-dryer may not be draining water due to a few reasons - a clogged drain hose, blocked filter, or faulty pump. Check the hose and filter, and clean them if necessary. Manufacturers recommend that e service wash is done every month to keep them clean and prevent blockages. Book a professional repair technician to inspect the pump.

If your washer-dryer’s door won’t open after a full cycle has finished, chances are there is still water remaining in the drum, the door lock is malfunctioning, or the child lock mechanism has been activated by mistake. Check if the program you’ve set has ended, and that the child lock is off. Drain the water from the drum – call a specialist if this problem persists.

A washer-dryer tripping the circuit breaker could be because of a short circuit, overloaded circuit, or faulty wiring. Damaged or faulty heating element, motor, or control board can also cause this problem. Unplug the washer-dryer and consult an electrician and a repair specialist.

If you washer-dryer is leaving your clothes damp, it might be due to an overloaded drum, low spin speed, or a blocked vent. First make sure that you are not trying to dry more clothes than recommended, and take out some, if necessary, then dry them in batches. If the spin from the washing program was low, the drying will take more time. Clean the vent.

The bad smell could be caused by mould in the washer-dryer’s drum or hoses, detergent buildup or residue, limescale buildups helping bacteria growth and causing blockages, or dirty drum. The washer-dryer should be deep-cleaned monthly with the appropriate detergents to prevent mould and limescale growing.

If your washer-dryer doesn’t want to start, there a few things you can check and do to find out if it’s just a temporary glitch, or a more serious issue. Make sure the appliance is connected to power – you may also want to reset it by unplugging it for a couple of minutes. Check that the door is securely closed, and if the control panel might be at fault.

Detergent residue on clothes could be because the washer-dryer has been overloaded or too much detergent is being used. Make sure to load less garments so the detergent can be properly washed off, and also don’t use too much of it. Law water pressure could also be a reason as the drum might not be filled with sufficient amount of water.

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you use the washer-dryer, and more specifically – the washer part and the dryer. The washing machine filter should be cleaned at least every three months, whether the lint filter every 6 to 8 weeks. We would recommend the lint to be cleaned even more often as it poses a fire hazard.
