Properties around this part of Cornwall range from late nineteenth-century houses designed by local architect John Sansom to the residential housing built on the Old Road former school site by the late nineteen nineties. A combined washer dryer makes sense when floor space is limited in a kitchen or utility area. Because the town sits near the edge of Bodmin Moor, and has a strong agricultural background where a regular livestock market ended in 2017, households get through plenty of heavy outdoor clothing. This puts significant demands on a single drum that has to both wash and dry the laundry. These machines do two jobs, and the drying side relies on a heater element and a fan channel that can become blocked with wet lint over time. When this happens, you might find clothes are still damp or notice drying cycles that never finish. Washing faults are just as disruptive, with machines not filling, draining or spinning properly. A blocked pump filter will stop the dirty water from emptying, while worn carbon brushes on the main motor prevent the drum from turning. Leaks and door seal problems also occur, especially if a stray zip or coin tears the rubber gasket during a fast spin. When visiting a property in areas like Luxstowe, we check the appliance over to find the reason for the breakdown. We look at error codes and control faults, testing the heating elements, thermostats, sensors and water valves to see what has failed. We repair electric washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers and washer dryers, but we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765A cycle that never finishes usually points to a problem with the heating system or the internal thermostats. If the machine cannot reach the correct temperature, the control board will keep the cycle running indefinitely. A blocked condenser channel filled with wet lint can also restrict airflow and cause drying faults.
Leaks and door seal problems are usually caused by a damaged rubber gasket. Sharp objects like keys or zips left in pockets can tear the seal during a fast spin. Sometimes, a build-up of hair or detergent residue prevents the glass door from seating properly against the rubber, allowing water to escape.
Washing faults where the drum stops spinning are often related to worn carbon brushes on the drive motor. If the brushes wear down completely, the motor loses power. Alternatively, a snapped drive belt or a control fault will prevent the drum from turning, leaving your clothes soaking wet at the end.
