Types of washing machine repairs we offer

Washing Machine Leaking Water Repair (Leaking Washer Fix)

Puddles around your machine are a definite sign of trouble and a risk to your flooring. Pinpointing the source of a leak requires trained expertise, as the water often pools far from the actual crack or failure.

  • Worn-Out Door Seal/Gasket Replacement: We often replace the rubber seal (gasket) around the door of front-loaders, where mould, tears, or debris can cause a substantial leak.

  • Hose Inspection and Replacement: We check and replace cracked or perished inlet and drain hoses, which can wear out over time, especially in humid conditions.

  • Faulty Drain Pump Diagnosis: A crack in the drain pump housing or a loose connection is a frequent cause of a leaking washer.

 

 

If you open your machine to find a drum full of dirty, stagnant water, you have a washing machine drainage problem. This can be caused by simple blockages or significant component failure.

  • Clogged Filter Clearing: The drain pump filter can become blocked with coins, lint, and small articles of clothing. We will safely access and thoroughly clean this component.

  • Drain Pump Replacement: If the pump motor has burned out or seized, we will replace the entire pump unit with a guaranteed new part to resolve the washer not draining issue.

  • Sump Hose Blockage Removal: Debris can sometimes lodge in the hose connecting the tub to the pump, restricting water flow. 

Does your washing machine sound like a helicopter taking off during the spin cycle? Excessive banging, grinding, or loud squealing often signals serious internal wear.

  • Worn Drum Bearings: This is a common culprit for loud grinding noises. We specialise in replacing the bearing set to restore quiet, smooth operation and fix a noisy washer.

  • Broken Shock Absorbers/Suspension Rods: These components stabilise the drum during high-speed spinning. If they fail, the drum moves violently, causing the machine to “walk” or shake excessively. 

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and it’s one we answer honestly. At Smart Appliance Centre, we want to be your trusted advisor, not just your repairman. While we are repair experts, we will always advise you on the most cost-effective solution.

 

When Repair is the Smartest Option:

 

Repairing your machine is usually the better choice if:

  • Age is on its side: Your washing machine is less than 8 years old. Modern machines are built to last, and repairing a component often gives you several more years of life.

  • The 50% Rule: The cost of the repair is less than 50% of the price of a comparable new unit.

  • You Love Your Machine: You are comfortable with your machine’s features and size, and simply don’t want the hassle of shopping for a new one.

The Benefits of Repair: Repairing an appliance is not only cost-effective—saving you hundreds or thousands compared to buying new—but it’s also the environmentally friendly choice, keeping large, heavy appliances out of the landfill.

 

When Replacement Might Be Better:

 

We will honestly advise replacement if:

  • The Machine is Very Old: It is over 10-12 years old, and major, costly components like the gearbox or motor have failed.

  • The Repair is Too Costly: The repair cost  exceeds the cost of a new machine, making it a poor investment.

We believe in empowering you with the facts so you can make the right decision for your home and your budget.

FAQ - for your laundry appliances

  • Is it cheaper to repair or replace a washing machine?

    repairing is often cheaper—especially if the machine is under 8 years old and the issue is minor (like a belt or pump). Get a local technician’s quote before deciding.

  • What brand of washing machine is most repairable?

    Brands like Defy, Bosch, and Samsung are commonly used in KZN and tend to have better local parts availability, making them more repairable.

    Most washing machines last 8–12 years. Regular maintenance and avoiding overloading can help extend the lifespan—especially in coastal areas like Westbrook where corrosion can be a concern.
