Know the home, know the fault

As the largest town in the national park, homes here rely heavily on their laundry appliances. Washing machines in rural and edge-of-moor properties work hard dealing with muddy outdoor clothing, especially in households with pupils attending the large secondary school. When a machine stops working, laundry quickly piles up. A washer that will not drain, spin, fill or start causes immediate disruption to the household routine. When a washing machine fails to drain, the issue is usually found in the pump area. Blockages from coins, hair or small items of clothing can stop the impeller from turning, leaving water sitting in the drum. If the machine refuses to spin, it might be protecting itself because it cannot empty the water, or there could be worn carbon brushes on the motor. Leaks are another issue that needs attention. Water escaping from the front usually points to a damaged door seal, while leaks underneath suggest split internal hoses or a failing pump housing. A noisy drum accompanied by excessive vibration on the spin cycle indicates worn bearings or damaged shock absorbers, which require dismantling the appliance to investigate. We also visit nearby places like Buckfastleigh. Once in your home, we look at the appliance to diagnose draining, spinning, filling and heating faults. We investigate leaks from seals, hoses and the pump area, as well as door locks and doors that will not open or close. If the machine trips the electrics or shows error codes on the display, we trace the electrical fault. We also inspect noisy drums and excessive vibration on spin to find the exact mechanical failure.
