The 12 most common washing machine problems in Nairobi, fixed on-site with genuine parts.
A leaking washer is often caused by a worn door seal, a cracked inlet hose, a loose drain pipe, or a failing tub bearing. We trace the exact source, replace the faulty part and test the seal before leaving.
If your washing machine won't drain, the cause is usually a blocked pump filter, a kinked drain hose, or a failed drain pump motor. We clear blockages, test the pump and confirm full drainage.
A drum that won't spin usually points to a snapped drive belt, worn motor carbon brushes, a tripped door interlock, or worn drum bearings. We test each component and replace only what has failed.
Banging, grinding or rattling during a wash is commonly caused by objects trapped in the drum, worn drum bearings, or a loose motor pulley. We inspect the drum and suspension and restore smooth, quiet operation.
A washer that refuses to start may have a tripped circuit, a faulty door latch sensor, a blown thermal fuse, or a failed control board. We run a full electrical diagnostic and restore power safely.
When a washer won't fill, the usual culprits are a blocked inlet valve, a kinked supply hose, a faulty water level sensor, or low mains pressure. We test, clear and confirm steady water flow.
Overheating is often caused by a faulty heating element, a failed thermostat, or limescale build-up. Continued use can damage fabrics and wiring, so we test the heating circuit and replace defective parts.
Excessive vibration usually comes from an unbalanced load, worn suspension springs or shock absorbers, transit bolts left in place, or an uneven floor. We inspect the suspension and level the machine.
Error codes point to a specific fault detected by the control board, from door sensor issues to drainage or heating faults. We read the exact code, diagnose the failed component and repair or replace it.
Musty smells build up from detergent residue, fabric softener and moisture trapped in the door seal, drum and drawer. We deep clean them, check the drain filter and advise on keeping odours away.
Clothes coming out dirty is often caused by a clogged detergent dispenser, a blocked drain filter, low water pressure, or worn drum paddles. We clear blockages and restore full wash performance.
A machine that shakes and shifts during use often still has its transit bolts fitted, or has failed suspension springs and worn feet. We fix these and level the unit so it stays put every cycle.
