Types of washing machine repairs

expert Washing Machine Drum Repair

If your machine is making a sound like a jet engine taking off, or if it has stopped spinning entirely, you likely need a washing machine drum repair. This often involves replacing the bearings or the spider arm—the “skeleton” that holds the drum in place. In the humid La Lucia climate, metal components can sometimes wear faster. We use high-quality, corrosion-resistant parts to ensure your drum spins silently and smoothly for years to come. 

Finding a laundry machine leaking can be a nightmare for your floors. Whether it’s a perished door seal (bellow), a cracked drain pump, or a loose internal hose, we find the source of the water fast. We don’t just patch it; we replace the faulty component with genuine spares to prevent future water damage to your home. 

Modern machines are essentially computers that handle water. If your display is showing “Error Code” or the touch panel isn’t responding, don’t worry. Our technicians carry the latest diagnostic tools to fix laundry machine electronic faults without recommending a total replacement unless it’s absolutely necessary.

If your machine fills with water and hums but doesn’t move, the motor or the drive belt is the likely culprit. As your local washer fixer, we carry a wide range of common belts and carbon brushes in our service vans, often allowing us to repair  washing machine issues in a single visit.

Common Questions About Washing Machines in La Lucia

  • 1. My washing machine is leaking. What could be causing this?

    There are a few common culprits we often find:

    • Hoses: A loose or damaged hose is often the issue. It's worth checking the water supply hose and the drain hose for any cracks, kinks, or loose connections.
    • Door seal: Over time, the rubber seal around the washing machine door can wear out or become damaged, allowing water to escape.
    • Water pump: A faulty water pump can also lead to leaks.

  • 2. The leak seems to be coming from the back of the machine. What should I do?

    Leaks from the back often point to a problem with the hoses. Make sure the connections are tight and the hoses aren't kinked or damaged. If you spot any issues, it's best to replace the hose. If everything looks okay with the hoses, there might be something stuck inside causing a blockage. In this case, it's best to call in the professionals.

  • 3. My washing machine is making a strange banging noise. What does that mean?

    A banging noise usually indicates an imbalance. It could be that your washing machine isn't level, or the clothes inside are unevenly distributed. Try redistributing the laundry and make sure the machine is properly levelled. If the noise persists, it might be a sign of a problem with the drum or bearings, and it's best to have it checked by a professional.

  • 4. My washing machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle. Is that normal?

    While some vibration is normal during the spin cycle, excessive vibration can indicate an issue. It could be that the machine isn't level, the load is unbalanced, or there might be a problem with the shock absorbers. If the vibration seems excessive, it's best to have it checked by a professional.

  • 5. i've tried everything to clear the blockage in my drain hose, but it's still not draining. What are my options?

    We understand how frustrating that can be! Sometimes blockages can be stubborn. If you've tried cleaning the hose and filter and the machine is still not draining, it's best to call in the experts. We have specialized tools and expertise to clear even the toughest blockages

  • 6. Can I prevent my washing machine from developing drainage problems in the future?

    Absolutely! Regular maintenance can go a long way in preventing drainage issues. Make sure to clean the filter regularly (check your user manual for instructions), avoid overloading the machine, and be mindful of what you wash (small items like coins and hair ties can cause blockages).
