Common washing machine faults repaired in Essex

Won't spin or drum not turning
Usually a worn carbon brush, drive belt, or motor issue — very common on machines over 5 years old.
Leaking water
Commonly caused by a door seal failure, drain pump leak, or loose hose connection.
Not draining
Usually a blocked filter, failed drain pump, or kinked drain hose. Often triggers E3 or F21 error codes.
Door won't open
Usually the door interlock or wax motor. Can also be caused by water remaining in the drum.
Loud banging or grinding noises
Worn drum bearings or loose counterweights — important to fix promptly to prevent further damage.
Error codes showing
Engineers diagnose the root cause behind error codes rather than just resetting them.
Not heating water
Usually the heating element or thermostat — clothes come out cold despite a hot programme.
Trips the electrics
