At Rpairs4U we care about our customers and always try to help and assist them in any way we can. We have identified some of the most common small problems that you might experience with washing machine repairs. This article is only a guideline and the cases described in it do not necessarily apply to all makes and models of washing machines.
We strongly advise you to seek professional help and book professional repairs services when necessary, even when you feel that you have identified the problem. Always take care about your safety, turning the power off or unplugging the washing machine before examining it.
Washing machine not spinning
This happens most often when the washing machine is either over-loaded or under-loaded, if there isn’t a more serious problem.
Most washing machines have a ‘Half load’ program, which you should use to help the appliances work better and not to put a strain on its spinning mechanism.
If the washing machine is over-loaded, this could prevent the water from draining and, consequently, the spinning cycle will not be able to start, for safety reasons. Adjust the program to ‘Drain’, and then run a spin cycle.
Whenever in doubt, call us. At Repairs4U we have the right washing machine repairs specialists who’ll take care of your domestic or commercial appliance, we offer the best washing machine repairs in London.

Washing machine door not opening
Most likely the washing machine cycle hasn’t finished yet and it is not safe to open the door. All new washing machines have safety mechanisms build in to make sure the customers are not harmed if they try to open the door by mistake.
If the cycle has finished and the door still doesn’t open, it could indicate a problem. Check if there is still water in the washing machine and adjust to ‘Drain’. When the water has been drained and the door doesn’t open, you can try turning off the appliance and retry. The reason could be a faulty opening mechanism, if the door still doesn’t open.

Noisy washing machine
There could be many reasons for this, here are the most common causes.
Something small could be stuck in the drum, producing noise anytime the drum is moving. Make sure to check your clothes for small change or other small things before washing them. Of course, a button or a bra wire could also cause the noise.
Something could be stuck in the drain pump. We recommend that you check the filter and remove it.
Worn out bearings is also a common cause of noise. You can check whether this is the reason by turning the drum by hand. If the noise still appears, then it would be the bearings.
