Common Washing Machine Problems We Repair

Washing Machine Not Spinning

If your washing machine completes a wash but leaves clothes wet, the spin cycle may not be working correctly. Possible causes include an unbalanced load, drainage problems, a door-lock fault or an issue with a motor-related component. Avoid repeatedly restarting the machine if it makes unusual noises or vibrates excessively. An assessment can help establish why the spin cycle is failing.

Washing Machine Not Draining

Standing water inside the drum can point to a blocked drain filter, a restricted hose or a faulty drain pump. Check the user manual for safe filter-cleaning instructions, and switch off the machine before carrying out any permitted basic checks. If water remains in the drum or the problem keeps returning, arrange a professional inspection.

Washing Machine Leaking Water

Water around the washing machine should not be ignored. A leak may come from a hose connection, door seal, detergent drawer or an internal component. If water is near a plug or electrical outlet, do not touch wet electrical equipment. Isolate the power only if you can do so safely and arrange assistance.

Washing Machine Not Starting

A machine that will not start may have a power supply issue, an incorrectly closed door, a control fault or another internal problem. You can check whether the socket and household supply are working safely, but avoid opening electrical panels or attempting internal repairs yourself. If the machine still will not operate, contact Den Appliances to discuss an assessment.

Washing Machine Making Loud Noises

Rattling, grinding, banging or heavy vibration can result from an unbalanced load, an object caught in the drum area or a mechanical problem. Stop the cycle if the noise is severe. Continuing to operate a machine with a suspected mechanical fault may lead to additional damage.

Washing Machine Not Filling With Water

If the drum stays dry, the cause could involve the water supply, inlet hose, inlet filter or water inlet valve. Check that the water tap is open and the hose is not visibly kinked. If the machine still fails to fill, professional diagnosis can help identify the source of the problem.

Front Loader and Top Loader Washing Machine Repair

Different washing machine designs can develop different faults, so it helps to describe the machine type when requesting a repair.

Front loader washing machine repair: Front loaders may develop door-seal leaks, drainage faults, spin-cycle problems or door-lock issues. Excessive vibration or unusual drum noise should also be investigated.

Top loader washing machine repair: Top loaders can experience problems with filling, draining, spinning, lid locks and drum movement. The cause should be diagnosed before parts are replaced.

If you are unsure which type you own, provide the brand and model number when contacting us. This information can help with the initial enquiry.
